Not having the lift working is disappointing and did find it a little hard to relax with family coming and going when you are conscious of stair noises with the apartment below. Absolutely beautiful view and lovely apartment. Loved it. ##### Viv A. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy D. 8 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning property!! Absolutely delighted when we walked through the door and viewed the actual property and realised the listing didnt do it justice. Amazing views, excellent organisation of kitchen draws and cupboards and overall was very pleased with our choice and will definitely stay again! Only a couple of things we would like to give feedback on: Lift out of order, completely fine as it was mentioned in tbe listing but carting heavy suitcases two floors up isnt ideal. Cleanliness of the property - when you looked it was surface clean and we were happy but if you looked at places that werent first sight it needed some work. The outside is stunning but covered in cobwebs but a little tlc could sort that out. Only other thing was switch in bathroom was broken and needs to be fixed and the lock box was broken and caused confusion about leaving the key on departure. Other than these minor details highly highly recommend booking!!!! ##### Amy D.

Very good position however this once impressive penthouse apartment is still top dollar but far from top dollar condition. Needs a lot of work to justify the daily rate charged. ##### Philip and Michele W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris A. 25 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquility at it’s absolute finest! Waking up to the sun rising behind the peak of Mt Tauhara with it reflecting off the glass of the lake through the sliding aluminium doors with the sounds of the native birds and ducks is something we don’t experience very often. Family took advantage of the mass volume the spectacular views and surroundings this apartment had to offer. Internal garage was perfect for all the toys and the lift was that little extra wow factor for all the luggage. Would highly recommend and would also rent again. ##### Chris A. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashley S. 17 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place but watch their refund policies The property was fantastic, easy to get to, great view, plenty of space and nice to stay in. We had a family member who could'nt travel because of illness so we got charged for the full amount even though we had less numbers. I thought this was a poor. ##### Ashley S.

This property was just as beautiful as the photos show! We felt pretty special to have the opportunity to stay here. It was spacious and lovely to be able to enjoy all the beautiful views of Lake Taupo. Availability of toys and games for my 2 year old son was an unexpected treat. The apartment was easy to access from city center, but nicely tucked away from the busy part of town. A nice bonus to have laundry facilities available in the apartment. ##### Alisa F.

We were a party of 8 cousins who were getting away together for the very first time. This property is absolutely stunning!!! Its modern, spacious, with incredible views. Bathrooms are luxurious with great shower pressure. Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen has everything a latge group needs and then some. Only downer would be the unfriendly people who live downstairs who complained to us about music within 30 mins of us being there when it was not very loud at all. Otherwise. ?? ##### Arrianna M.

Lights in the kitchen above the cook top didnt work which made it very dark and the expelair dosnt work. The faucet in the kitchen is loose and needs fixing, as does the faucet on the shower in the main bathroom - it fell to the floor the first morning when we used it. Lighting in bathroom is very very dim (no good for applying makeup) so we could have used the mirrored area in the main bedroom - but unfortunately non of those lights are working either. ##### Tracey M.
