Convenient location

The location so close to the Taupo township was great. Only real flaw was the cleanliness of the bathrooms - the basin wasn't clean and there was alot of hair and stuff between the shower and toilet.

Other than the apartment not being to clean and confusion regarding the key pickup, it was a great place to stay. Close to shops and lake. Comfy beds and unit had everything that we required.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry there was water on the bathroom floor. The leaking toilet has now been repaired. Glad you have enjoyed your stay.
