Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful team. The room looks over the lake and is well designed to make the most of the sunsets. Just note that it sits on a geothermal area, so you have a hot water springs and beach right in front. For winter, get the ground floor unit because it is like permanent underfloor heating! For summer, get a upper floor as it gets too warm at times on the ground.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Room comfort
This is stated and priced as a luxury apartment but be warned that not all the rooms have air conditioning ie no central air conditioning/ temperature control in the apartment which is really quite unacceptable. The beds and bed linen is of poor quality. Also, beware that you may be booking a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment which is supposed to sleep x number of people but there is an additional charge for each person.

Great but....

The apartment was clean, modern and well equipped with great accessibility to the lake. My one tiny complaint was that they don’t replenish your coffee capsules! We were given 6 at the start of our 2 night stay. We liked the place so much that we extended it for another night but they wouldn’t top up for free our coffee capsules nor would they even replace the tissue paper in the room even though we only started with a half-filled one. Strange to be stinging on such small items.

Lake Taupo at your doorstep!

Two thumbs up! Everything we needed in one stylish apartment. We stayed at the Lakeside apartments and indeed beautiful Lake Taupo was literally at our (back) doorstep. The children loved feeding the ducks and swans. We enjoyed many walks along the lake and taking in the gorgeous views. Furnishings were modern and everything neat, clean and tidy. Housekeeping was impeccable. The decor-magazine style photos you see of the property on the website is exactly what you get.

Wonderful place to stay for a little while or an extended period. Our apartment was an upstairs lake front location and the views of the lake were incredible! The layout of our apartment was excellent with enough space in each room for storage. The bathrooms were well designed and roomy with skylight for natural light to stream through. The kitchen area had every amenity. The property is well maintained and secure. Lorraine, the manager was welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Thank you, Lorraine! Highly recommend.

Fabulous position with stunning lake view. Enjoyed the hot tub, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, comfy lounge with plenty of seating for relaxing and dining. I wouldn’t rate the property itself as luxury 5 star however, as it needs some maintenance and updating, especially in bathrooms.
