Perfect!

We loved our stay at the Barn Style Cottage. It was super clean and the hosts were very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised by all the extra little touches that just made our stay that much better! Beautiful location - not far from Taupo. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if passing through! Thank you :)

The Barn was very cute and clean, the only thing i found that i would have liked was electric blankets on the beds as we froze both nights and when your not used to the cold like that, a warm bed would be nice. the hot water bottles didn't do much. otherwise it was amazing and would like to return one day.
