Marinaside Villa - Taupo Holiday Apartment

Easy access to Taupo

3 levels. Lots of stairs.

This property was perfect for our family holiday. Well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities, comfortable beds and lounge room. Stairs kept us fit and healthy! Didn’t mind them at all!

Road noise at night was quite loud due to no double glazed windows but that’s very difficult to fix. Found a used towel in the main bathroom hanging behind door.

Good location and plenty of room, 4 bedrooms, 3 toilets and 2 showers. Private parking in garage also. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking, and although we didn't use it, there was also a washing machine etc which would be handy for longer stays.

Only 1 of the 3 bathrooms had a hand towel and there was only 1 loo roll in each toilet, toilet bins also hadn't been emptied. The showerhead in the bathroom in the lowest level was broken, and the half a meter step in and out is a bit dodgy, perhaps a stool would be helpful. Bedrooms on the roadside were a bit noisy at night. Also the top floor (with the kitchen) didn't have any smoke alarms. Kitchen only had 2 coffee mugs, a couple more would be ideal.

Location and safe

Really thin walls, hear neighbours and the road clearly. Not clean - stains on cushions, kitchen equipment was old chipped and residue of food
