Kinara Country Homestay, Taupo Bed & Breakfast, Taupo, New Zealand

Hello Heather
We stayed with you in late January, and apart from a morning downpour while with you, we enjoyed a wonderful rain-free NINE weeks in both North & South Islands and two visits to OZ. We are now back home and watching spring explode around us.

I must say that yours was the best acommodation of our sojourn in NZ, and we would not hesitate to both recommend you and, if the occasion does arise, to stay with you again. Long may you continue in the hospitality business, I think you've got it right!!

Our kindest regards to you and Graeme

Thanks Heather & Graeme for your hospitality and help during our stay with you in Taupo. It was a pleasure to spend time in your lovely home and garden.

We spent the most beatiful days at your lovely home! Our entire stay was fabulous. Every little thing was just perfect for us, couldn't stay at a better place! And ,Heather, you are great!!! Can't wait to see you all again! Lots of love for both of you and many kisses for Jack an Poppy!

Hi Heather & Graeme,
Thank you for once again making our trip to N.Z. a time to remember.
Graeme, keep doing the 'barbies', they are great and Heather, your cooking is to die for.
We will see you again in 2011 if not before.

All our love
Rayne & Martin

We had the most fabulous time staying with Heather and Graeme and their lovable dogs Jack and Poppy. Kinara was the perfect place to stay in Taupo set in the most beautiful setting with incredible views and our room looked into their exquisite manicured garden. Our room was so homely, so clean and spacious. Heather makes a fabulous English breakfast and served up my favourite warm croissants every morning. We felt like family and Heather you were so great with advice and making sure we saw all the important sites! We can't wait to come back again!
Lots of Love

Just a note to say thank you we really enjoyed our stay, you both made us feel so welcome. Also very informative on places of interest in the area and where we were going to later in our holiday.It was great to have a barbeque on Christmas day! We hope to come back to New Zealand someday. We would highly recommend your b&b. We send you best wishes for 2009.

We had a great time staying at your lovely (and very comfortable) home and enjoyed our chats with you. Good to stay with some one who knows the area so well. If we come your way another time, we would love to stay again, and will certainly recommend you to any of our friends hoping to visit Taupo - couldn't stay at a better place! Best wishes to you and Graeme and hugs to Jack & Poppyxx

Staying in your place is certainly the most memorable night in our trip to New Zealand. The place is well-furnished, comfortable and quiet, with warmth from you two and the puppies as well. Breakfast is delicious too. It is a place that we would love to stay again and certainly a good home stay choice.

We will always remember our 2008 Christmas thanks to Heather and Graham. We had a lovely stay and Heather had gifts for everyone. She even got the nicest doll for my 3 year old daughter. As French people leaving in Australia, we appreciated to be able to spend a typical Christmas with a kiwi family. Thank you very much for your kindness. Hopefully, we will see each other again somewhere in NZ, Australian or France.

Dear Heather and Graeme
Thank you so very much for our stay with you. It was so lovely to be a home so far away from our own. The food was stunning the beds were lovely and you both welcomed us like family. Ellanean has a lovely time. It's not easy being two and so far away from home. Once again thank you. Hope to see you when we move out.
All our Love
