Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ridgetop. It is a farm stay, so not in town, and NOT a hotel/motel. Having a car is a MUST! The property was clean and very well-provisioned - it was very nice to have access to the washing machine, clothesline, and kitchen with stovetop so we could cook our own meals! Our hosts were away at the time of our stay so it was extra quiet and private, but self-checkin was simple and easy. Highly recommend for a multi-night stay in the Taupo area.
