Very nice place to base yourself if you want to explore Taupo. The location is in a suburban street rather than on the strip of hotels, motels and resorts. So no noisy neighbours or foot traffic noise. It was a cosy studio with everything you need to get by (for those that don't need a full kitchen). The complementary cereals, coffee and tea supplies were appreciated. Steph was great to deal with - very responsive and provided a lot of useful information.
