Great comfortable room

We were arriving bit late, but check-in was smooth because of the great communication they made before arrival. Room was wide and comfy that was worth more than we paid.

Lovely outlook from the windows

Pros: Spacious apartment, with a lovely outlook out the main windows to the lake and the distant snowy mountains. Sunny bedroom and nice linen and pillows.
Cons: The lounge layout, the small couch should be re-positioned and the little table placed in front of the main windows to appreciate that lovely view.
Location: Accommodation is up on a ridge so get lovely views. Not too far out of town, easy 3-4 mins drive. Very close to Huka Falls and all its activities.
It appears to be a big, purpose built house with 6 separate apartments - we drove right past it the first time! Parked right outside our door. Our upstairs apartment was nice and spacious, sparsely furnished perhaps, but everything available for two people. The lounge windows pull back fully, so we moved the little table there and 2 chairs and drank wine with nibbles looking out at the lovely view, across the lake down to the snowy mountains in the distance. The bedroom gets the afternoon sun. Probably a 4 minute easy drive to town, not far at all. Very affordable price for Taupo, would stay again.

Great place to stay

Pros: Lovely to stay in a home rather than a hotel/motel
Location: Needed a car to get around - nothing close enough to walk to but not a problem for us.
Great place to stay to catch up with my daughter. Clean, tidy, warm, luxurious.

Nice place - in residential space

Pros: The room was very clean and large. Was nice and quiet.
Cons: The fact that dishcloth etc in the bathroom is not very hygienic. Made me wonder if the dishes have been washed in there by other visitors.
Location: Residential, not far from Huka falls and Taupo Township very close too.
Room was upgraded free of charge. Large bedroom and large lounge. Heating in room and lounge, very warm. Good place for price.

No staff onsite, very hard to find (no lights on)

Pros: the bed was nice, room was cheap and air con worked fine at 24 degrees.
Cons: The shower head is ruined and the towels are well overdue to be thrown out (like sandpapered cardboard!). The dust was at extreme levels (take a look
Location: it's Taupo, get in, get out!
I can only assume that this was once a VERY nice place to stay, the building is a "large house" in a newer Taupo subdivison. Our room was only accessible via a grass path around the side of the building. The room was full of passive aggressive notes, for example, on the air con remote "UNIT WILL NOT WORK OVER 23 DEGREES" (yeah right); and others stuck on doors and tables. The shower head is ruined and the towels are well overdue to be thrown out (like sandpapered cardboard!). The dust was at extreme levels (take a look at your bedside cabinets and candle holders on the dresser). All that aside, the bed was nice, room was cheap and air con worked fine at 24 degrees.

Stay out of it!!

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything!
Location: Google is your friend!
Horrible place to stay! Please avoid this place at any cost. My folly that I did not check google reviews on this property before booking, which stands at 2.3 out of 10!! It is neither a chateau of 5 star as they fraudulently advertise! Owner or the manager guy is a modern day Shylock! I stayed in the mid winter just few days ago and suddenly awoke around 3am to see that the central heating is switched off. And the thermometer recorded 13c temp inside a so called 5 star 'Chateau' in the mid winter!! You cannot switch on the heating again and I spent the rest of the night shivering! Cooking is not allowed even no microwave to heat a pie. All you get is a 50ml tiny milk packet inside the fridge. And he had charged extra $10 from my credit card after I checked out and upon query he said that I had taken the body wash away with me! It was a tiny 5ml plastic vial, even not enough for one shower! He wouldn't answer the phone or texts so I had real hard time getting the money back!! My humble advice is, sleep on a bench near the lake if you cannot find any place in Taupo rather than staying in this den!

Mountain/lake view lovely

Pros: Reasonable price, very quiet overnight with non of the commotions that can arise in other facilities in town. View lovely
Cons: The TV does have to be turned on/off at the wall, so you do have to reach down the side of the sofa to access, but that's not a big issue
Location: Access to all of the adventure activities in Taupo township about a 10 minute drive. Haka Falls about 5 minutes away. Lots of cafes to choose from
I had the one bedroom flat that allowed for some cooking with microwave, beautiful view of the mountains and Lake Taupo. It was very quiet overnight as located just north of Taupo township on the road heading towards Haka Falls. Furnishing good, bed while firm comfortable. There are steep stairs to get to the unit, so some people might find access hard. Free high speed wifi, good shower and roomy living dining area.
