Apartment only has two rooms (plus the bathroom), so note the bedroom is also the kitchen. The pull out coach bed is okay, but the bar on the middle is unavoidable
Traversing the north island, we stayed in Taupo two nights. The studio was easy to find and in a nice location. Check in was smooth. The place was clean, comfortable and met our needs. Thank you!
This was a good base for a short stay in Taupo. The apartment and furnishings were clean and in good working order. The apartment is on the ground floor, accessed through a sliding patio door around the side of the house. It has a relatively private garden area of its own. The interior layout is unusual, with oddly shaped but functional rooms and a huge projection screen taking up an entire wall of the living/dining area. It has the feel of a downstairs recreation area that has been converted a bit awkwardly into an apartment. This was not a problem for us, just something worth knowing. The property is located in a very suburban area far from shops and amenities, a 10 minute drive from downtown Taupo. The check in process was clear and smooth, and the property managers were very communicative. Recommended.
