Really well appointed apartment for 2 x couples with their own bathrooms. Great views and proximity to town was excellent. Many thanks CM ##### LOUANNE M.

Mar 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great place to stay A well equipped apartment with super views over the river and within walking distance of the town centre. We liked the fact that they had kayaks to use but we couldn't take advantage of that because of the weather. En suite was a bit dated would be our only real negative ##### graham h.

Great river views & single level 2 bedroom apartment. Well maintained & equipped. Perfect for two-four guests. Worked well for our family Christmas week in Taupo. Love to visit again. 😊 ##### Peter P. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Devi G. Feb 13, 2023 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### A good stay but the difference in coat per person is a but tricky I have been upfront about the extra person staying with us due to Auckland floods. I dont mind paying extra. But I did so without having any new services added to the stay which seemed a lot redundant. I wouldnt recommend this place to any other firends due to this inconvenience. If they are asking for an extra pay per person, atleast they should have a proper bed for the extra person to sleep on. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable and couldn't accomodate two persons as they decribed. ##### Devi G. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice K. Feb 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and relaxing place Our favorite place to stay so far on our monthlong travel thru New Zealand. Home is clean and beautifully decorated with great views of the river and lots of bird life. Walking distance to local shops, restaurants and the waterfall. I Highly recommend! ##### Alice K.
