We have stayed at many places in Taupo and have to say Mary's apartment is the best so far. It is in a quiet location with splendid views of the lake, a 5-minute walk to the lake itself and also close to town. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and Mary includes those extra touches like fresh flowers, baked cookies and provides the breakfast. We had everything we needed, and Mary's communications were excellent throughout our stay. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.
