You won't be disappointed by this apartment. It's very convenient to town, amazing view and good facilities. Although there are alot of apartments in the complex it
is a well managed and quiet location. Greg responded quickly to any questions and accomodated our special requests. We were a family group of 6 adults.
The kitchen has all the equipment/appliances you need and a few basics (salt/pepper/oil) in the cupboard. Everything very clean, tidy and well presented.

A fantastic experience right from booking, through payment, checking in and stay. Could not recommend this apartment enough. Only wish we were there longer to really enjoy the location more. Riverside is beautiful with a big glass windows overlooking the river. Underground garage is incredibly convenient. The location is very close to town. Beds are incredibly comfortable with a lovely linen and towels.
The only thing it could do with is a few more home comforts as there was no tea towel or boardgames etc, but these did not deter from the quality of the property.

We had such a fantastic stay. Well equipped holiday spot.
The townhouse is in the most ideal location. Walking distance to town, easy drive to Acacia Bay and everything else Taupo offers. We were there for the summer concert and loved watching all the boats lining up on the river to listen in to the concert.
Our kids loved swimming in the pool and the river.
Thanks for a fantastic stay. We hope to be back again next year!
