This is a place to pass out and not sleep in. It's very noisy from all the bars/clubs in very close proximity to the accommodation, so you shut the windows then it's hot because there's no aircon or fans. The property is poorly maintained with damage/graffiti from previous tenants throughout. Despite the toilet being fitted with public toilet style, extra-large, twin toilet roll holders, it had run out without any way of it being replaced without calling someone to the premises.
The main problem with this accommodation is the listing needs to highlight better the realties what it offers rather than some illusion that people will be disappointed by. It serves a purpose and costs far too much for what it is so I will not be returning. It's the cheapest fit-out you could possibly do (plastic bucket for bin), pretty poorly maintained and at a price point which is too high. It's well located, but Taupo is small, so look elsewhere.
