We only stayed overnight, would have loved to stay longer.

- Thomas (9/5): Nice clean and modern apartment within walking distance of Taupo beach and restaurant district. - Proximity to beach and restaurant district
- Corrin (10/5): We had a great stay, everything exceeded our expectations. - Was in a great location, clean and comfortable. We liked everything about the property, was excellent. Nothing
- Martine (10/5): Loved staying there. - Very clean, good ammenities, modern, comfortable, close to lake and good pub NA
- Alex (10/5): -
- Valda (10/5): - Close enough to walk to the shops. Very modern. Garage parking. Loved Staying here
- Charlotte (10/5): Perfect Taupo spot - Such a beautiful space. Brilliant location, super cool lounge/kitchen, beds comfy and whole place so clean and just lovely
- Derek (6/5): It was okay but the owner could have been more approachable and empathetic to our concerns. - It was very clean and comfortable It was advertised as a two bathroom property however it was one jack and Jill bathroom with a separate toilet. The owner was very condescending when approached and another issue with the oven.
- Damien (9/5): -
- Peter (10/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Carrie (8/5): - Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Having a locked garage for parking was a bonus. Not so keen on the shared bathroom.
- Joy (7/5): Lovely little apartment for a small family. - Excellent location, and a superbly clean apartment with everything you might need for a good stay. Both bedrooms are upstairs and are connected by a lovely bathroom with a door each side. Only one of these doors locks, and one bedroom has no opening windows to the outside. There was a fan in the room, but it was not enough to save the room from being unbearably hot at night. The main bedroom did have a heat pump.
We were two couples, so the layout did not work well for us with the bathroom. I imagine for a family it would be fine, but the lack of privacy for us was difficult.
I should also add that the weather was very hot during our stay.
- Hough (8/5): - Fantastic location near the main town. Very, very clean and great modern, uncluttered neutral decor. Limited cookware, utensils and glassware. Dated and tired bedding.
- Greg (9/5): Awesome place loves the private garage parking, we will be back. - Great location and modern Everything was great, only issue was we couldn’t get the dishwasher or aircon in the lounge to work.
- jacky83 (9/5): -
- KEYU (5/5): - I checked very carefully, and the booking information clearly states that the apartment has 2 bathrooms. That was one of the key reasons we chose this property. However, in reality there is only one bathroom shared between two bedrooms, which is not very convenient.
Overall, the location is very good, and the apartment feels new, clean, and well maintained. Having both air-conditioning and heating is excellent.
There are, however, a few issues we experienced during our stay.
When I asked about kitchen paper in the evening, the reply came about 40 minutes later, which was fine. But the response only mentioned that it “may have been finished,” and no assistance or solution was provided. In fact, there was no kitchen paper or napkins available at all — only toilet paper — which made cooking and cleaning up quite inconvenient. This was surprising, especially since the welcome message states that you are “not far away” and available for any issues.
I also sent a message later that night asking whether the washing machine had a dryer function. I did not receive any reply — even by the time we checked out the next day. This made it difficult for us, especially since drying laundry is important when staying only one night or during bad weather.
Additionally, the smaller bedroom is quite dark, with only a small interior window, which makes the space feel less comfortable.
- Heather (10/5): Luxury apartment - Thank you Margaret, your apartment was absolutely stunning, clean and super comfortable. You had every appliance required. We were thrilled to be in luxury accommodation. This made my memorable breakaway with my daughters the best. Will definitely stay again, highly recommend.
- Sylvano (10/5): très bien situé très calme. - nous n avons pas pris de petit déjeuner vraiment pas grand chose.
- marjolein (8/5): Mooie moderne vakantiewoning vlakbij het meer - Modern en luxe ingericht apartement/vakantiehuis met eigen garage. Erg netjes. Vlak bij het meer en op loopafstand van het centrum. De tweede slaapkamer zou een airco kunnen gebruiken. Het zwembad vonden we niet zo uitnodigend, maar dat kan ook deels aan het slechte weer hebben gelegen. Het zag er wel heel netjes uit.
- Kelvin (8/5): Close to everything - The close proximity to the town centre and an easy walk. The beds didn't slope which was a bonus.
A secure carpark was very much appreciated. As we stayed for 5 nights, it would have been wonderful to have a fridge- freezer combination. Only being able to have a fridge or a freezer made it difficult for home cooked meals and impossible to buy icecream.
- Carlie (10/5): -
- Nickolas Goodwin (10/5): -
- Julie (10/5): A great choice - The apartment was excellent in every way. The check-in instructions were clear, and the apartment itself was attractive, well-equipped and immaculately clean. Having an internal access garage is a bonus when the time comes to pack the car, especially if the weather is wet or windy. I wish we could have stayed another night - I didn't have time to try out the heated pool!
- Gavin (9/5): - Great house. Very comfortable and well stocked facilities. Spotless. Great location and nice wee heated pool. Would stay again. Nothing. All great.
- Trina (10/5): Was a short stay but a beautiful night with all the modern amenities . Thank you so much, will definitely stay again! - Beautiful apartment with top amenities Nothing
- peter & liz (10/5): Magical!! - I loved the wool carpet. The big living areas and comfy beds and so nice and clean. Thankyou The body wash was very hard and slow to use. But not a big problem
- Vicky (10/5): Great place will definitely recommend to my family and friends - Modern, clean, uncluttered and great location.
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Jennene (10/5): -
- Karyn (8/5): Great place to stay - would recommend. Enjoyed the late check too, for a lazy Sunday. Thank you. - Great apartment, clean and comfy and had everything we needed for the night. Bonus garage, especially when it was miserable weather outside.

- Sabrina (10/5): Great modern Apartment. - The Apartment was very modern, loved the design & furnishings. The bathroom design was perfect . The beds were comfortable and blankets warm & cosy. Location is perfect, close to lake & town.
I couldn't fault it. Nothing, loved our stay
- Glennville (10/5): - Great location, clean, spacious, convenient. Good facilities, comfortable.
- Dianne (10/5): - Very clean and tidy.we were extremely happy. Thank you very much
- Gin (9/5): Would definately book here if going to taupo again - Loved the location. Was great to have a garage! Smart tv meant we could use netflix. Plenty of space. Nice and warm. Kids liked the warm pool. Only annoyance was the showerhead wouldnt stay at showering position, it would flop down and face the floor, or backwards which also didnt make it easy to shower.
- Ariana (8/5): Very good - Beautiful apartment, and the swimming pool was great as it was heated Just 1 lil minor thing that 1 window seal was not cleaned
- Daphni (10/5): Great stay, response host. - Clean and central. Large garage
- Margaret (10/5): Well worth it. - Great place to stay. So close to town
- Vivien (10/5): Home away from home. - There is so much room and very comfortable. I did, however, find two very dirty mugs in the cupboard without the hint of a wash.
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wong (10/5): Exceptional - The kitchen, bathroom & bed are good. TV can be connected to Netflix. N/A
- Parewhati (9/5): Terrific Apartment Twelve on Tui - Awesome comms and convenient self check in. Last stayed in the complex a few years ago and the units have been updated and look great! We only stated one night but would've stayed longer if we had more time - thanks for an awesome stay 😎
- Lyn (9/5): Superb - Breakfast wasn’t included. Location was perfect. Could not get sound on the TV. Dishwasher a bit difficult to understand operation.
- Linda (10/5): It was a perfect warm clean tidy roomy well thought out apartment 😊 - From the parking to the underfloor heating in bathroom - everything was exceptional
- Davies (10/5): Disappointing. - The door code given was wrong, we rang telephone number as provided with no joy. Because of their voicemail we googled alternative number and were lucky with success. Otherwise we would have been stranded with no accommodation and needing to chase refund. Our understanding is owner overseas, pin provided had never been corrected. Service regarding entry.
- Coe (10/5): Absolutely brilliant! - Everything! We loved everything!
- Logan (10/5): Amazing property, quiet in a great location. Will stay again -
- Qianmei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Battersby (10/5): Exceptional -

- Liu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thorn (10/5): We would happily stay here again and give this property the highest rating possible. - The property exceeded our expectations. The kitchen had high quality appliances, the main living area had folding doors that opened up to a private outdoor area, the beds were the most comfortable that my friend and I have ever slept in and the en-suite between the two rooms was perfect. I was able to park my car in the private garage attached to the unit. We would happily stay here again and give this property the highest rating possible. There was nothing that we didn't like.
- Natasha (10/5): Relaxing and private. Reccomend - Everything you need is there, washing machine, cooking facilities etc Nothing it was great
- Barbara (10/5): The property was quiet at night which suited us. - Location was perfect for us. Easy walking distance to town and lake front at the bottom of our street.
- Heather (9/5): We enjoyed a lovely two nights mini break. - A lovely, spacious apartment that was close to town and a short stroll to the Lake.
A nice pool onsite was a bonus. There was no milk on arrival at the apartment although tea, coffee etc was supplied.
There was no coffee machine.
Other than that the apartment had everything needed for a great stay.
- Eimear (10/5): Comfortable and clean apartment - Beautifully finished apartment. Comfortable and good location
- Mary (8/5): Good value, very well equipped. - The pool was disappointing, very small and covered all the time. Other than that the stay was excellent.
- Paul (8/5): Fantastic apartment on the whole in a brilliant central location close to the lake and the township. - Great location, lovely and modern and well equipped with everything you could need. The only negative was the internal bedroom which was extremely hot and stuffy with no airflow. Should've had a fan to circulate the air and try to cool it down.

- Adam (8/5): Perfect for what we wanted and price far better than local motels. - Location was good and close to a variety of restaurants and cafes as didn't plan on going far. Had issues with the fridge/freezer unit as was set to Freezer and no instructions on how to change it. Also an issue with the blinds in the hallway and living space.
- Yelenalat (9/5): Great property for a family or friends - Very good property that comfortably accommodates 4 people. The sun light in the bedroom made it impossible and bright for sleeping in the morning.
