Beautifully appointed apartment with view over the buildings in front of the lake and mountain. Comfy living room seating and plenty of space for 2 couples. Third single room was great as a dressing room. Few minor things needed fixing (bathroom door lock broken so one of our party got trapped in there), coffee machine not working properly and no blind in one of the bedroom windows. Management were quick to remedy what they could at the time. Pool was great, much bigger than it looked in the photos. Would definitely stay again.

The view of lake Taupo was beautiful. The hot tub was a pleasure. The kitchen was spectacular and a pleasure to cook in. The apartment complex is somewhat of a distance to the stores but with a car not a problem. We stayed in a 2 bedroom Apartment with washer and dryer within the accommodation that made it very convenient. The second bathroom had a glass door that only went midway making it difficult not to soak the bathroom floor.
