The location is exceptional.... the facilities and options are beyond belief. This is the most magical property that we have stayed at in Taupo. Given even half a chance... I will be back in an heart beat.. The views of the lake and the mountains are beyond compare. I loved it..!!

Beautiful apartment complex with a heated outdoor pool

We loved the spacious apartment and the heated pool was fantastic.

The apartment felt a little closed in and dark.
