We stayed at Vicki's place for 3 nights with our 10month old son and had a great base for visiting Taupo and the Tongariro National Park.
The apartment was easy to find and there's a parking space for guests on the property. Also the apartment was sparkling clean and there was a great choice of tea and coffee. Vicki even left some chocolate and snacks, which we enjoyed a lot.
At night the apartment can get a bit cold, but we quickly learned that it stays warm enough if you close all little windows early enough.
Awesome view, fast wifi, good shower pressure and plenty of space! Very much recommended.
