    Brilliant location, a 2 min walk from the lakefront with walks in either direction and plenty of good swimming spots.

    We stayed for two nights. Everything you would need is there. It was a little farther away from the town area than we thought, but still walking distance as long as the weather is good.

    We really enjoyed our family stay in Taupo at this property recently. It's in a superb location a 2 minute walk to a park and the lake. It's a lovely quiet suburban area (well it was in October!), and the garden space has some couches/ chairs which were lovely for lounging in, in the sun. Deducting a star only because it wasn't obvious from the booking page that the master bedroom is beside the kitchen and there's no wall, only a curtain that gets pulled across. That didn't bother us, and may not bother some people, but is worth noting. The toilet/ shower is also accessed via the master bedroom. There were a couple of things that required minor repair (running toilet that filled the cistern all night and the mechanism for the blinds above the sink was broken), but they were noted to the property manager so hopefully fixed for the next guests. The lighting was also a bit strange (might have been something else before being a bach?), but all worked just fine. Overall, this was a clean, tidy, well-appointed place to stay and we enjoyed our stay. Don't take this as a negative review, becuase it's not!, just a couple of things that others may want to know :-)
