Nice location and comfortable stay
Traversing the north island, we stayed in Taupo two nights. The studio was easy to find and in a nice location. Check in was smooth. The place was clean, comfortable and met our needs. Thank you!

Apartment only has two rooms (plus the bathroom), so note the bedroom is also the kitchen. The pull out coach bed is okay, but the bar on the middle is unavoidable
