    fantastic base for exploring taupo's beautiful parks and attractions

    I loved waking up to the stunning lake view from my room, and the convenience of being just a short stroll away from the Taupo Botanical Gardens really made my stay special.

    spa pool
    layout issues

    Clean and quiet room with a well-hidden kitchen and balcony overlooking the lake. The in-room spa pool offers a unique experience, especially nicely sheltered for rainy weather.

    Room repurposing affects layout, with only one exit and no window ventilation. Issues with some facilities like a cracked sink and mouldy shower detract from an otherwise decent setup.

    spacious room but needs bathroom update

    The room was spacious and clean, with all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed the stunning lake view from the balcony, making our stay even more delightful. The staff was welcoming and efficient during our check-in process.

    The bathroom was a bit dated and could use some attention.

    no complaints

    The Premium Suite with Private Hot Tub was amazing! We loved the private hot tub on the balcony and the stunning lake view from our room. Everything was tidy, and the layout was perfect for a cozy getaway. Just wish the bathroom was a bit more updated, but honestly, it didn’t take away from our experience. Totally recommend it!

    comfy bed
    helpful staff
    dirty bathroom
    pokey shower

    easy to find and looked clean and tidy from the outside, cute little balcony to chill on, and the bed was super comfy. the staff were really nice and helpful, made check in easy, and the little cafe was great too, food was delicious.

    but the bathroom needed some serious cleaning, saw some hairs on the tiles and mouldy silicone around the shower. also, the shower itself was pretty pokey.
