Amazing Private Experience
Beautiful Appartment, Great View, Luxury Bathroom and Heating. Enjoyed great walks around the private residence and some awesome moments at the hotpools and waterfront dinners.
This apartment is amazing. Hot tub and stargazing with so little light pollution away from the city! This apartment is truly luxury, views to die for. You come here to disconnect. Taupō centre is only 15 mins away

Everything you need and more
Amazing place that I'd recommend! The bathroom and showers are a highlight (I rank a good bathroom high in search criteria). The beds are comfortable with incredible views to wake up to. Lots of amenities and thoughtful little touches e.g. good storage for clothes, basic ingredients in the kitchenette, extra tea towels in kitchen. And there's more! Lynne and her husband are great hosts, friendly with great communication and gave us a heads up anout restaurants being busy due to the iron man competition. Thanks for a great stay!

Loved our stay!
Great location, close enough to town while a bit off the beaten path. Very friendly, hospitable hosts. Beautiful, well-appointed, clean, newly built space in a lovely setting with incredible views and soothing birdsong. Highly recommend!
