Outdated in Taupo
This property was totally outdated, inside and out.
From the spiderweb covered exterior to the 1970’s sofas and carpets, the location is all this property has going for it.

Well appointed, very clean and everything you would ever need for a longer stay. Unit was very spacious and nice gardens. Staff were very welcoming. Located right on lake front but wasn’t bothered by any street noise.

Stay here if you are tolerant to cleanliness
We booked 2 bedroom apartment for 5 people as we were advised there was a sofa bed, however the sofa bed was not long enough for even 5 foot person, so 3 of us ended up sleeping on a queen bed with our feet hanging. The only descent thing is the bathrooms are simple but clean while the sofa looks old and dirty and the chairs on the balcony are dirty (full of birds’ drops). In our last 8 nights in NZ this was the worse accomodation while others have similar price range.

Good location, bed needs an upgrade
Had a great overnight stay. Apartment spacious and clean with a lovely lake view. Only negative was bed was very soft and probably quite old as soft sided and partner disturbance. For this reason we probably wouldn’t stay again. A shame because everything other than sleep quality was very good.

Apartment furnishing was a little dated, but very clean. It’s a very spacious apartment when you consider the price, and by far the best bang for buck.
