We had a great time in the apartment of Richard and Caty.
Their house is really close to the lake and the city center. Even tough it is so close, there is almost no noise of cars passing by etc. You can sleep with your windows open without worries.
Another great thing is the tennis court and their free bikes. You can discover many attractions in Taupo by bike.
Besides that Richard and Caty are really friendly and caring hosts.
We could extend our stay without any complications.
Overall we can recommend their apartment to everyone visiting Taupo!
