Hugh and Belinda made us feel right at home upon arrival and the apartment was private and very comfortable for our family of four. I was not expecting the view of Lake Taupo to be so impressive. I couldn't stop taking photos of the amazing sunsets. Great value, size just right, lots of games for the kids, and the small kitchen had everything we needed. It was the perfect location from which to explore Taupo, in a serene setting, less than 5 minutes drive to the town's center. Would definitely stay here again.
