We had upstairs apartment with great view - apartment well-equipped & comfortable. No reception as such so arrival can be a bit hit & miss (particularly if you not sure what time you're turning up!). A short distance out of Taupo but close to Huka Falls etc. - good base for Thermal sites if you want to avoid the smells... More

We booked a night here recently and ended up staying for two. We would have stayed for a third night but it was fully booked. The upper floor apartment we had was luxurious with a great view. As others have mentioned the walls must be pretty thin as we could hear the other residents which may have been a problem... More

Had a really enjoyable stay but it was tempered by the initial welcome or not? We arrived at 2/15pm to find a sign on the door saying apartment would be ready at 2/30 when cleaned, Fair enough so we left the car parked outside and went for a short 10 min stroll around the area. On our return we were... More

We want comfort, peace and quiet, Sky and WiFi - this unusual large house has the lot! Luxury linens and comfortable pillows down to the mink throw for the sofa/bed and lemon balm soap in the shower, and SILENT at night. We stayed in 'the overnighter', which was huge - the walk in wardrobe could have had a standard double... More

I was worried after reading the bad reviews but neednt have been. We have just stayed in the 2 bedroom duplex apartment for 2 days. The owner was very helpful, the apartment was serviced daily, we had plenty of towels for everyone. The apartment is very spacious, has modern furnishings and was very clean. The bedroom was big enough to... More

This is not a chateau but a house in a half completed housing estate outside of Taupo. The house seems to be subdivided into three apartments. The apartment we stayed in was well furnished and clean but the only facility for food was a fridge, toaster and kettle. There was a very long list of "Do nots" and threats of... More

The place initially looks good, however it is turned out to be a ripped off experience after the owner charge extra large amount of money on the credit card without asking and with ridiculous explanation. It appears the owner is not really ready to offer this accommodation to any traveler as he is expecting the guest will clean everything for... More

Looks attractive from the advertised photos,but in reality is divided into 4 flats,no garage,owner /caretaker lives in garage. This was the most expensive accommodation in our NZ trip at Aus$250-00 per night paid in advance.The scarey part was the owner told us that he could tell what we were doing,or when we opened or closed the front door,and when we...

agree with many of the other reviewers complaints - in particular no reception / signage / service "kitchenette" a joke - not even a sink - I've had better eating facilities in a tent walls paper thin - can hear every sound from neighbours - clearly not designed as separate facilities eftpos doubled up - took months to resolve never...
