We happened to have booked a stay in Taupo on a holiday weekend so it was nice to be removed from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Abbie was very accommodating and arranged to have the apartment ready for us early and a host of good information was provided on things to do in the area and restaurant recommendations. We especially enjoyed the little restaurant just down the street. The apartment was modern and tastefully decorated and I really liked the shower tile. Not having a kitchen sink was a little inconvenient but a work around was provided. The apartment is on a busy street so there was a fair amount of night and early morning traffic noise.
