This was my first time staying in a "Private Room" rather than renting out the entire house, I was a little nervous that it would be uncomfortable, however straight away we felt at home in Jude's extremely homely property! Jude is such a kind woman who we instantly felt we got along with. The property is in a lovely & safe neighborhood. The home itself is extremely clean, with a perfect layout for AirBnb, the bed was very comfortable & we got a great nights rest. We had some great conversations with Jude, however felt that we could have stuck to ourselves if we wanted to. Overall a 10/10 experience & I would highly recommend staying at Jude's. Thank you again for your hospitality, we hope to stay with you again on any trips down to Taupo!
