Spacious Guest unit with a luxurious titled bathroom, relaxing spa bath plus a large titled shower. Spacious lounge with a lovely garden view. Lovely gardens. Mountain views on a clear day. Sheets, duvet and towels provided free of charge.
We are super and Premier hosts from our previous property (now sold) and welcome you to our modern, spacious one bedroom guest suite, ideally located in the heart of Taupo. The suite features a comfy queen sized bed, large bathroom with a relaxing spa bath, large shower and a generous sized lounge area perfecting for unwinding. There is also a small garden area outside with outdoor furniture. The suite has its own private entrance on the lower level of our home, with a locked door for privacy. We live upstairs in our own private space. I love meeting and helping people. I also love travelling, walking, cooking and gardening.
Lovely peaceful residential neighbourhood, only a 5 minute stoll to the beautiful lakefront or a 15minute stoll to Taupos vibrant town center where you will find amazing Cafes and Restaurants. Most tourist attractions and events are also close by. There is also a convenience store, takeaways, a butcher and a Cafe just around the corner for your convenience. You'll find everything you need within easy reach. We provide all the linen for your stay, so you can simply relax and enjoy the best of Taupo.
