10/10 Exceptional

The view of lake Taupo was beautiful. The hot tub was a pleasure. The kitchen was spectacular and a pleasure to cook in. The apartment complex is somewhat of a distance to the stores but with a car not a problem. We stayed in a 2 bedroom Apartment with washer and dryer within the accommodation that made it very convenient. The second bathroom had a glass door that only went midway making it difficult not to soak the bathroom floor.
