Offering a garden and garden view, Ensuite at new property is set in Taupo, 6.6 km from Great Lake Convention Centre and 7.4 km from Taupo Events Centre.

Advertised bath, view of garden, television, airconditioning. However no bath, no garden to view, television was not connected to an arial and no controls for the air conditioner. It was very cold in the morning perhaps set to extricate guests. Arrived 3pm and was treated to a loud and incesant argument from the owner and members of his family for 4 hours. However the room and ensuite were clean and well presented. Being in a new suburb, construction was occuring beside and behind the property so not peaceful.

Featuring lake views, Appleyard provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 33 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park.

Beautiful location, and if we had been staying longer than one night, it would have been the perfect place to relax and read in the sunshine. We arrived late afternoon and missed out on this aspect of the property. The property was clean and tidy: it has a lovely bathroom with an excellent shower. The bedroom was very tastefully done, with an good bed, and opened onto a small patio with a chimenea and wood to burn in it, with the garden beyond, and a view of Lake Taupo in the distance. Breakfast was provided in a little pantry style room with a fridge and crockery, and was all we needed. Cereal, fruit, yoghurt, toast and spreads. There is hanging space in this room for a longer stay. Beyond a toaster and kettle there are no cooking facilities however. Taupō is a drive away and has plenty of eating places. Internet access is good.

    Tony is such a lovely host. I had a lovely room with balcony and a mineral spa! Great to sit on the balcony and catch the lake views and amazing sunset. Mineral spa is such a bonus to soak away your tiredness from travel. The room was super clean and every facility was great. Right across from lake Taupo meant that lakeside walks and to the center was very handy. Thank you Tony!
