With the help of the internet (whilst sat in a car park in Taupo) we found that the Lake Waimahana Apartments had availability, and the very helpful manager met us at the apartments, we booked for the next 3 nights, and were glad we did. The accommodation was outstanding, a large and modern sitting room with undefloor heating and a... More

The apartment we rented was a two bedroomed apartment and was very spacious and comfortable with a fabulous location right on the lake. The apartment we stayed in was number 3. No complaints at all there, however we arrived to a dirty verandah and outside area including the barbecue. My only other complaint is that there were not enough bowls... More

We visited Waimahana in order to go to watch a friend drive a Formula 1 racing car at the Formula Challenge at the Taupo Race Track. Waimahana apartments are on the main road that skirts the edge of Lake Taupo. This used to be the only road through the town but most of the traffic now goes along the by-pass... More

Thank you for your comments. Your feed back is very much appreciated. I am disappointed that aspects of your stay were not as enjoyable as you would have wished! Some of the shortfalls you experienced are inexcusable and I am sorry for this. I have talked to my staff regarding extra attention to detail but ultimately I am responsible as... More

We could not have wished for a better stay in a better place. The apartments have everything one needs. And they have sweeping views: from the three snow-capped volcanoes of Tongariro National Park, and Lake Taupo itself, right around to the township of Taupo. On the shore of the lake, just in front of the apartments, steam rises through the... More

This is the 3rd time I have stayed in these Apartments and each time has been perfect! I have stayed with my family (5 of us) and with friends. Each time I have been in a different apartment ----11--4--8. These are all 3 bedroom apartments with large extremely well equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. They have all been furnished to... More

Stayed in Apartment 4 and loved every minute there. Great location easy walk into city centre. Great views. Setout of apartment was great. Security is great with under ground parking. Can't fault it at all. Only thing we would have liked were ceiling fans in the bedrooms, got a bit stuffy!! More

My wife and I were originally suppose to stay at the Terraces Hotel. However, as their renovation work was still ongoing they found accommodation for us at Waimahana. What follows is not a criticism of the Terraces Hotel nor judgment on their choice of alternative accommodation. First impressions are important and our two bedroom two bathroom apartment did not disappoint.... More

We stayed for two nights. There is no reception so couldn't comment on the service. We were emailed directions on where to locate the key and how to contact the owner if there was a problem. The Apartment was in a great location and easy to find. It was very clean except for the spots on the carpet (there were... More

We booked one of the three bedroom apartments for a long weekend and found the apartment perfect for staying in. The instructions we received via email telling us how to gain access were great, and the underground parking was very handy for loading & unloading. Maybe one thing they could add was a trolley that people could use to take... More

On deciding on an apartment in Taupo I really wanted one that was close to Lake Taupo. Normally I read what everyone says on Trip Advisor but these apartments had very limited reviews. We arrived to find no one home, doors locked and I felt I had made a rather large mistake. I rang a contact number I had and... More
