The apartment was fantastic and the view also amazing. The apartment was sparkling clean and well appointed. Was a lovely location and only a short trip into Taupo itself. The only thing I didn't like was it was too hot for me and also our adult daughter (we are both very heat intolerant) but my husband was comfortable with the temperature. The heating is under-floor heating which was unable to be adjusted and I do understand why not. I ended up sleeping with the balcony doors open and just opened other doors during the day. I would imagine it would be toasty warm on a cold winter's day. To be fair I don't even own a coat so I am the odd one out! Definitely recommend for a luxurious stay away from home.
