Just very old and not updated, curtains were ripped and the whole upstairs needed updating. Next door rooms taps made a lot of noise . Very musty and very hot upstairs when we arrived, which affected my breathing, sinuses and gave me a headache. Not to mention the overuse of a perfumed spray made it worse.

Lovely apartment with a Lakeview. Some of the decor a little tired but very clean and comfortable with a lovely lounge and kitchen area. Loved being able to hire kayaks on our checkout day and walk a minute to tne water. Helpful staff in facilitating this. Loved that the sailing club is a two minute walk for drinks and coffee. 4 minute drive to town. Great place to stay

This property’s location (right on the lake and a little way out of Taupo (so quiet but not annoyingly far away from town) was great. The property was clean and the amenities were good. Beds nicely made up with crisp fresh sheets. The decor and layout was a little dated and tired but all in all it was a good clean convenient place to stay, with excellent lake access.
