Taupō Central

10/10 Excellent

The property is clearly not new but it has been impeccably kept through the years. The room shows barely any age and everything works as it should. Critical appliances such as the television have been updated to wide screen smart options that are par for the course. The room is more spacious than average and the view out the balcony is excellent. Quality bedding is used and precise temperature control via an ac unit provide an excellent night's sleep
