This is a great place to stay in Taupo. Once you figure out the driveway, it is very accessible and close to downtown. The view of the lake is simply beautiful, the road is quiet, the hot tub is wonderful, the yard and decks are very private, and the apt is roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we really loved all the different places to sit outside, and the living room inside is very comfortable too. Highly recommended!
