Location is great but a bit noisy. The building is older and lacks soundproofing and is creaky. But still recommended.

We loved how clean the property was. Close by to all the amenities walkable distance. Amazing views. The only negative comment i would say is the stairs. The stairs were very steep. It would be difficult for elderly people going up and down the stairs as the rooms are upstairs. I had my toddler and i was continously worried just in case she fell down the stairs. A suggestion would be to have a protective gate or door of some sort for safety. Otherwise, everything else was amazing. Would definitely stay again :)

Room was average, however the bathroom hadnt been cleaned properly in a long time. Hair around the edges of the floor that wasnt ours and mould in the shower. Cutlery provided was filthy and lipstick marks on glasses. We paid for an extra person and the pull out sofa bed was as hard as rocks

We spent one night in the one bedroom unit (upstairs bedroom, downstairs kitchenette and additional bed). Overall, the feel is that of a budget motel. No 'Suisse' feel at all, apart from perhaps the outside facade, which really needs a cosmetic overhaul. Nice spa pool and a decent size outdoor pool. Interaction with owner operators (?) was very brief and fairly matter of fact. No friendly 'where have you guys come from' or other pleasantries that make guests feel welcome. Walls to adjoining units very thin, we heard the neighbours shouting at 4am as if they were in our unit. Parking is very tight with little room to manoevre.

Cleaning staff, kitchen and appliances, dining area and patio furniture, free parking, center location near the lake. We did not like the lack of shelves and hangers in the bathroom, front door hard to open, chairs and loveseat to watch TV are small.

Paid over $200 for a night for apartment that had very wet and damp carpet upstairs in the bedroom, big area, Apartment 12. Absolutely stunk, and at 10pm was too late to ring to change it. Management admit there was a roof leak 2 days prior and still let it out in that condition, which is not on. After complaining in the morning, was told manager not there and would ring me, i had to ring him at 7pm that night as no follow up and he begrudgingly gave us a $50 discount. The apartment should not have been made available, but clearly was, and was not fit for purpose at all.

Great location if you want to be close to shops / restaurant. A bit noisy for us. I wasn’t impressed waking up with 15 bug / insect bites after the first night. Which ruined my stay. I’ve never had this from any of my other stays in Taupo.
