This apartment has a great location within walking distance from downtown Taupo, and a magnificent view of the river and harbor from the big picture window in the living room. The apartment itself was well-appointed, with modern appliances and comfortable beds. Minor issues kept it from being perfect, including inadequate supplies when we arrived for our three night stay (no paper towels in the kitchen, only hand soap in the bathrooms, one day's worth of toilet paper). We resupplied the place before we left, for the next guests. We also had no internet, which Linda and her husband were anxious to resolve but couldn't do on their own. Those things happen. The nicest bonus were the kayaks in the garage. I really enjoyed spending a couple hours paddling out to the lake on a beautiful sunny afternoon. All in all, this apartment made our stay in Taupo a delight.
