Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
Lisa and Craig were fantastic with us. The place is impeccable, a landscape that I had to look at every time to make sure it was real. I highly recommend it! An incredible place, close to the city centre. The hosts were exceptional and the place was super cosy, clean and quiet!
Mary and Ian were wonderful hosts- loved sharing stories during breakfast; our room was very clean; room was decorated with thought; shower space is adequate; good water pressure and easy to adjust hot or cold water; near room is a small fridge, teas, coffee and cookies; has one window with screen that is open; wonderful breakfast: yogurt, fresh fruit, muesli, eggs cooked to order, bacon, toast, homemade jam, juice, coffee, tea; breakfast served 7:30-10:00; very quiet neighborhood; near Lake Taupo; off street parking
Cute private property in a quiet neighbourhood, very clean, comfy beds & couch, excellent location as it’s only a 4 minute drive to the lake front, washing machine and dishwasher, all kitchenware was provided so we didn’t need to bring anything, heat pump and fireplace so was very warm, lovely accomodating hosts, very cheap for what it is!! Couldn’t fault this amazing property :)
