Where to start.. Great place at a great location. On a clear day, you can see the lake directly from the main window.
The apartment itself is nicely designed, it maximizes the use of the space and has anything you would want. It was raining half the time we were in Taupo but we just stayed in the apartment and still enjoyed ourselves.
I originally chose the place because I thought the beds in the loft seemed interesting. If you have boys, they would love sleeping in the the beds in the loft of the apartment. Me and my brother are adults and we thought it was great.
Hugh is a thoughtful host. My dad has trouble walking and he opened the side door so my dad can get to the apartment easier.
Overall, highly recommended.
