Very comfortable in a lovely location

We travelled here for an event in Taupō and really enjoyed the area of Mangakino as a home base. Close access to Rotorua, Taupo made for great outings and we really enjoyed some local hiking, particularly the one recommended by Noddy and Renee in the welcome booklet. Accommodations had everything you need and all was as advertised. Would stay here again.

Thank you Jody and team. Glad you enjoyed your stay. And enjoyed the recommended hike. We couldn't have asked for better guests. Would recommend Jody to future hosts, and we would have no hesitations in having Jody back again anytime. 10/10.
