We had a wonderful time in Motuoapa, Taupo. We were blessed with a perfect day to do the Alpine Crossing. Marilyn & Laurie are wonderful people. They are warm, fun and friendly and made us feel like part of the family. The house is spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing few days. The breakfast was delicious. I would recommend this place wholeheartedly. Thank you Marilyn & Laurie, it's a shame we didn't get the chance to take you up on the offer of a trip on you boat on the lake; maybe next time! We'll bring the beers.
