My husband and I enjoyed our short stay in Taupo; the apartment was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the residential neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. We walked from the house along the lake foreshore a couple of times, once into town for dinner (45 minutes each way), and another time in the opposite direction for exercise. One afternoon we went trout fishing with a local guide at the Tongariro River. We cooked dinner one night in the great kitchen, used the house washing machine, and generally felt right at home! I'd highly recommend a stay at Megan's place!
