The penthouse is very stylish and light, with plenty of room for families or groups. The view over the bay was stunning and the apartment is in a lovely area. Very well equipped with a big kitchen, lovely bathrooms, large balconies for al fresco dining and underfloor heating throughout. Check in and check out was very smooth. Would recommend for the Taupo area however you will need a car or taxi to get into the main bit of town (we had no problem getting a taxi to and from restaurants).
