We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The studio is very beautiful, has a warm homelike aura and located close to the city and all the main tourist attractions (10-20 minutes at most). The place offers a lot of amount amentities and has thoughtful touches like iron, ironing board, tv, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. There is also a beautiful garden and an outdoor, covered, seating arrangement if you want to eat outside. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is planning their next trip to Taupo.
