If I could give Lloyd's space 6-stars for location I certainly would. It was so lovely after a long car ride to be able to get out and walk onto the lake foreshore and around the restaurants at the end of the street. We had a one-night stopover in Taupō and it was perfect for what the three of us needed. Set in a small, older block of apartments Lloyd has made this compact space very user-friendly with a great design vibe through out. Everything we needed was there. It was very easy to communicate with Lloyd and the check-in photos and details were most useful. Other guests in past reviews have commented on the walking noise at night from the tenants above and yes we could hear that too, but it wasn't an issue at all and should not put anyone off. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Lloyd.
