Hi, I’m Mel! I live in Taupo and have been hosting for almost 7 years now. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting travelers from all over the world, each bringing their unique stories and experiences. Taupo is such a beautiful place, nestled by the largest lake in New Zealand and surrounded by stunning scenery. From the majestic Huka Falls to the geothermal wonders, there’s always something new to explore here. When I’m not hosting, I love indulging in outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and fishing. The community here is incredibly welcoming, and there’s a strong sense of togetherness that makes living in Taupo truly special. Whether it’s a local market, a cultural festival, or simply a friendly chat at a café, the people here always make you feel at home. I believe in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for my guests, ensuring they have a memorable stay. It’s the little things that count – a cozy room, personalized recommendations, and a touch of local flavor. So, if you’re planning a visit to Taupo, I’d be thrilled to host you and share the magic of this wonderful place!
