For guests with children, Bed and Breakfast Happy Home Taupo Accommodation offers an indoor play area. After a day of skiing, cycling or hiking, guests can relax in the garden or in the shared lounge area. The property has great location and the bed was a dream come true! I came from a very long road trip and exactly what I needed. Here is the thing, you don’t book this accommodation only for the facilites you book it because of the host! This lady treated me like her daughter, she baked a whole bread for me delicious !!! And honestly such a great lady! I would definitely recommended she took my reservation very last minute and was so accommodating! You will not regret it!

The apartament that we got had private access to the terrace and we literally had private jacuzzi as at the time there were no other people there! So cool! The host gave us super nice welcome gift, went for us to the Main street upon arrival when we got lost, also left us nice messages and access to washing and drying area.
