Fantastic, high quality apartment beautifully renovated and well equipped. In a super quiet setting by Lake Taupo which is perfect for swimming. Convenient spot to explore such an awe inspiring region .... would recommend. Orakei Korako 27 kms north of Taupo , a geo thermal area of hot springs - silica ledges and bubbling mud pools and South of Taupo in Tongariro National Park the volcanic Mounts Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu ... the visitor centre at Whakapapa has a fascinating volcano information centre. Lynne was a super host and we would highly recommend this apartment .
