The digital keypad lock made accessing the room super easy, enhancing our overall experience.

The shower water pressure was significantly reduced during our stay, which was rather inconvenient.

Great stay in Taupo! 🌊

The washing machine and dryer were a lifesaver, especially after all the hiking! Comfy beds made sleep a dream. Location is just a short stroll to the lake and town—so easy to explore!

Had a bit of noise from those modified cars outside now and then, but otherwise all good.

dirty dishes

poor cleanliness

absolutely mediocre stay! I was expecting luxury but got cleaning leftovers on dishes and no toilet paper, how delightful. The bathroom floor was disgusting, and I did not receive my welcome gift for my 'special' visit. I almost thought about giving a good review, but I just couldn’t! What a let down this was.

The two-bedroom apartment was comfortably set up, with decent space for a family. It featured a washing machine and dryer, which were really handy after our hiking trips.

We faced some issues that needed attention. There were not enough plates and cutlery for a full three-day stay, and the large recycling and rubbish bins were unavailable during our time. The fridge also needed a defrosting and was iced over, which was a minor hassle. the shower head was loose and one of the doors popped out of its hinges, which made things a bit tricky during our stay. All manageable, but it would have been better with proper maintenance.

the only downside was a little noise from the street, but the kitchen had everything we needed like dishwashing facilities, and we loved the bonus of having a washing machine in the room. comfy beds made for good sleep too.
