I din't really get to travel around New Zealand. We only went Auckland, Lake Taupo and Lake Rotorua(briefly). I really like Lake Taupo. It is a small town with a few restaurants. Okie, my fondness for Lake Taupo might got to do with our accommodation. We stayed in this really gorgeous apartment. The name of the apartment is Sacred water if you are interested. We stayed in the 3 rooms apartment with 2 toilets. Let me show you why I am in love with this apartment (I can't decide which is my favourite, Auckland apartment or this). This might be more expensive than the rest of the accommodations but it is worth it(in my opinion).
The view when you come out of the apartment. Imagine waking up in the morning, before a long day ahead, take a walk with this view. J and his friend went for a run. They really had a good time. The view is surreal.
This is the apartment we stayed. Check out the big dog.
As Lake Taupo is near the Volcano, the naturally heated up. We went during winter, so there is no one in the water, except
the Ducks.
They will go near you, thinking you will feed them. Actually there are black swans as well but I din't take any nice photo of them, so I am not going to post it.
We had a lot of good food here as well except the "indian cuisine". Stick to the local/western cuisine and you won't go wrong. Typing this entry make me miss Lake Taupo so much. I want to go back!
I am sharing this to pay forward the goodwill of other travellers online reviews.
