My mother and I spent a week traveling around the north island, and this was our absolute favorite place to stay! It was lots of space, and we loved the outdoor seating area. It was a great place for sipping coffee and listening to the birds. The inside and outside is quaintly and naturally decorated. The flat is very private and sunny, and in a great location walking distance from downtown. We will definitely return to stay again when in the Taupo area!
