Taupō was stunning and this unit was in close proximity to everything (e.g. beach, eateries, shopping, etc.) It’s also only an hour or so to Tongiriro National Park - for hiking or snow sports. Nice modern apartment, perfect for solo travellers, couples or even a family (due to a pull out sofa bed). Lovely courtyard area with chairs to relax on warm days.

Lovely Stay

The unit was peaceful and private, and we felt very much at home. Jeremy was a kind and welcoming host and we felt very comfortable. The location was wonderful - just a short walk to the lakeside and cafe, and close enough to town you could walk. Highly tecommended

Taupo stay

We spent two nights at this property and from the onset the communication was very good. Jeremy was helpful providing information.The apartment had all amenities listed however it did not appear to have been professionally cleaned. A lot of the kitchen appliances and utensils were old as was the furniture.Having the use of two bicycles was a nice bonus. The location was close to the lake trails but you did need a car to get anywhere else.

Great Location

A modern, clean and comfortable apartment with absolutely all necessities. Great being so close to the lake and walking paths around it. Luckily for me Jeremy had a fold-up dog fence for my disobedient little dog, otherwise I’m sure I would have been leaving Taupo without her!!! I hope to stay there again next year.
