Great river views & single level 2 bedroom apartment. Well maintained & equipped. Perfect for two-four guests. Worked well for our family Christmas week in Taupo. Love to visit again. 😊 ##### Peter P. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Devi G. 13 Feb 2023 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### A good stay but the difference in coat per person is a but tricky I have been upfront about the extra person staying with us due to Auckland floods. I dont mind paying extra. But I did so without having any new services added to the stay which seemed a lot redundant. I wouldnt recommend this place to any other firends due to this inconvenience. If they are asking for an extra pay per person, atleast they should have a proper bed for the extra person to sleep on. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable and couldn't accomodate two persons as they decribed. ##### Devi G.
