Absolutely stunning view of the lake from Vicki's place - wish we could have enjoyed the view more but we left for our days' activities before sunrise each day. Vicki was super friendly and gave us great advice on where to eat in the city (just a 5-10 minute drive into Taupo from Acacia Bay). We had a little trouble getting good wifi connection if we weren't by the kitchen counter area, but it still worked out. Heater worked very well at heating up the whole place (which is very spacious). Was truly a lovely apartment, and I would recommend you stay here.
