Lovely Stay

The unit was peaceful and private, and we felt very much at home. Jeremy was a kind and welcoming host and we felt very comfortable. The location was wonderful - just a short walk to the lakeside and cafe, and close enough to town you could walk. Highly tecommended

Great Location

A modern, clean and comfortable apartment with absolutely all necessities. Great being so close to the lake and walking paths around it. Luckily for me Jeremy had a fold-up dog fence for my disobedient little dog, otherwise I’m sure I would have been leaving Taupo without her!!! I hope to stay there again next year.
