Peaceful apartment type, 3 mins walk to the water. brilliant location.

Luxurious recently-renovated detached dwelling in Waipahihi Bay, 3 minutes' walk from the lakefront and a 4 minute drive from central Taupo. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this apartment is brand-new as of late 2019, and is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing getaway, plus a double sofa bed. Free off-street parking is available immediately outside, and bicycles are available to explore the area. Sunset views of the lake and mountains are visible from the front of the property and main house.

lovely lazy stay
Just what we need for a 5 day break in Taupo. Very quiet, comfortable and a lovely part view of the lake. A short walk to the lake shore which connects to a walkway around some of the bays and if you turn right and walk for 30 minutes it takes you to mini golf, slightly further to the main Taupo shopping and restaurant hub Such a gorgeous walk. A short drive to De Bretts thermal pools. A great place for the 3 of us.

Very welcoming host and great directions given. A few tweaks would make the place more comfortable as it is maybe time for an update of some of the appliances and streamline what furniture is required in the room so it would be a little more spacious. A tea towel would be a handy addition in the kitchen. Overall a lovely quiet clean and tidy place to stay. Much appreciated, thanks Jeremy.

Great getaway
Great little getaway with a nice tidy unit and Jeremy was a friendly host. Would happily stay again. Note driveway access is more suited to walking rather than driving unless you have a very small car. Parking out the front was fine though.
