Very step stairs to get in to unit. Suggest not suitable for older or not fully fit people. No outdoor seating provided but beautiful spacious lawns. A well-kept and private property.

First impression, modern and very clean. However no windows in the tiny lounge which was disappointing, hence no view. Just one set of windows in the bedroom.

For what we paid I thought this was pretty average. No view. A long way away from town. The stairs are a pain and the kitchen is tiny and not user friendly. I always find not been able to have personal contact with the owner/property manager - also basic things like no coffee table or dining table or coffee plunger. It was not cheap but to be fair was similar in terms of size and what offered it was not too different from a good Top 10 cabin. Still comfortable but over priced

Beautiful location
Great apartment for my husband to stay in while he worked in Taupo. Plenty of room for him to park his truck which was great. Great communication with host.
