We looked forward to our extended break in Taupo - Rob and Sues affordable place on the lakefront superceded expectations. Idylic spot, able to wander to and from the beach at the drop of a hat. Everything is walkable distance, the coffee cart close-by was a bonus! The apartment was fabulous - clean and comfy, and we found numerous extras, including books, games and a great stereo system. Highly recommend!!!!
