The place was much bigger than expected and spacious. Great for us travellers with large luggages. Clean apartment with a good variety and quality of amenities provided. Check in was seamless - Michelle even let us drop our bags when we reached way before the check in time, and let us check in early so we could get to explore the rest of the town. Love the way the door is locked - so fuss free!! Facilities were good, there’s washing machine, induction stove with pots and pans, kitchenware and complimentary Nespresso capsules and coffee and tea. I also love their hot chocolate!!! (bloom) ☕️ Love that there is a backyard area which we can sun/dry off our clothes with the drying rack in the room. There’s also hair dryer, sufficient hangers, iron and ironing board and TV with YouTube connection. Parking space was very sufficient, great porch and quite near the beach (walking distance to the hot water beach and also to shops, restaurants and supermarkets) Overall great experience and would highly recommend this place to couples and families looking to stay in Taupo. Thanks Michelle for being a great host! 😇

Location. Clean. Great kitchen facilities, lovely bathroom toiletries & we appreciated the washing machine. We were astounded at the number of power and usb charging points available in one small space! This is a great motel, probably the best one we’ve stayed in while travelling the north island of NZ. Excellent communication on checking in with electronic PIN code entry.

This is getting very very picky! A sieve in the kitchen to strain pasta would have been handy. If the owners are looking at ways to improve I’d recommend a diffuser with a warming smell.

We had car parking directly outside our unit which helped packing/unpacking. The facilities in the sitting room area were really comfortable. The foot rests were a nice addition and something I’d probably like to copy! The kitchen area had all we needed in terms of dish washing facilities and fridge etc. The location is really good as it is in close proximity to Lake Taupo with a restricted view available from the unit. The location was also a short walk to the town centre shops and amenities. The location also allowed easy road links to exit Taupo in any direction avoiding the town centre area.

The only slight criticism (and if this is the only thing it must be good ) the unit could benefit from some kitchen towels/kitchen roll. One thing that is beyond the owners control is sometimes some of the local youngsters liked to drive their modified cars along the street outside - this wasn’t constant by any means but you do get the odd bit of car noise occasionally.

1. Great range of facilities provided, including a good kitchen and a washing machine which doubles as a dryer. 2. The digital lock on the front door is very convenient. 3. Very comfortable lounge furniture. 4. Sensor lights in the bathroom are very helpful at night. 5. All main lights have dimmers. 6. Walking distance to the lake front and the town centre. 7. Very helpful manager.

None to speak of.

Booked this last minute as another booking fell through. Super convenient, right on the shore of Lake Taupo. Excellent amenities -this unit had everything. Love that the bathroom door doesn't open onto the bedroom and shine light in one sleeping person when you walk in the door. Loved the sensors in the bathroom.

If I was going to nit-pick, there were only two things missing -I always like a safe to store my passport/electronics. Would like a coffee plunger -only option was Nespresso but it makes small cups. I didn't love the combo washer-dryer.

Contactless check in and check out is brilliant, also location, facilties esp kitchen and having washing machine, outdoor areas

Only a small gripe, but manager and others kept walking up and down at the rear of the unit through patio areas several times a day, which we found a bit intrusive, didnt feel very private. Perhaps they and cleaners etc could use the front accessway to get from one end to the other and to access the units if needed. A few resident cats about who kept wanting to come inside, and my husband is allergic to them.

The accommodation was very clean, and had all the comforts of being at home. Stove stop, microwave, dishwasher, pots & pans, cutlery, utensils, toaster, dinnerware & glasses, also a washer & dryer. Plus a heat pump and Bose Bluetooth speaker & Nespresso Coffee Machine and Fridge. Nice king size bed with an electric blanket if you need it.

Great location close to everything nice and quiet two bedroom apartment was great.Enjoyed the privacy and the easy access to room.I definitly would stay here again

Minor things but enough to be annoying such as no toilet paper or washing powder in our room.someone elses drink bottle was in the fridge when we arrived.Had to wash dishes before we used them as there was still left over food stuck on plates and dishwashing powder from dishwasher left in the drinking glasses.Even thow it looked clean it felt like the cleaners may have done just a quick scan over clean instead if an actual proper clean.

Large room with kitchen (fridge, microwave, stove, dishwasher), Family room with two very comfortable recliner chairs and private bedroom. The large bathroom includes a combo washer & dryer! The management sent a door unlock code the morning of check in. Parking was right outside your door. The unit had a private backyard patio.

Air conditioning was only in family room/kitchen area.

The location was great because it was in walking distance of the lake and restaurants. The living space was comfortable and it was nice have a kitchen. Great to have a washing machine. Liked that it’s a small property and the staff was friendly.

The combo washer/dryer did not dry our clothes at all. Glad we did laundry the night before we left so they could dry overnight hanging up.
