Really nice place. the refurbished "superior" rooms are much nicer than the old dated ones. the pine clad rooms and african themed hallways have definately had thier day, but they new rooms in lighter colours much more modern and spacious feeling. on site bar and restaurant were surprisingly good too, had a really nice meal here. Just dont expect breakfast. unfortunately the advertised breakfast restaurant is only open on weekends, so we were dissapointed we couldnt eat here on a thursday morning (this is not advertised anywhere. or even mentioned in in-room breakfast menu). if it wasnt for that would have given 5 stars. really enjoyed the hot spa pool in the evening after coming back from cycling that day

The room was very small and very hot - however there was a fan provided which was great. The only crockery in the room was glasses, cups and teaspoons, but on request I was provided with some plates, knives, folks and spoon. Overall the location was awesome and the price was great compared to others around it. The Social Club meals were lovely and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly.

Cosy property, no aircond which on a warmer night made sleeping difficult. A fan was provided which helped. Pool was good for kids, spa was outdated and dirty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would we stay again - Yes. Expectations met the fee paid

When we came early, we couldn’t check in cause they’re still cleaning. Pool was small, it was shown in the pic to be bigger. The room had loose window handles, loose coat hangers, no microwave so be ready to bring money to eat out. If you’re staying at the bottom floor, you can definitely hear the footsteps or turning on the water of others in their respective rooms. Only one window, it was really hot. The view to the lake is selective, we had a view of a corner literally dirt and plants.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Loved the pool and hot tub. Close to the center of Taupo. The downside was that the staff started cleaning surrounding rooms at 6am and loudly knocking on each door before entering.

Great location and awesome pool and spa. The spa was rather dirty but we used it regardless and tried not to mind. The room itself probably needs a good dusting cause myself and my partner found eachother constantly sneezing and having runny noses throughout our stay. Their rooms dont always have a microwave but they were fast to bring one to us. Unfortunately we were unable to use the kettle in the morning as the heating element looked extremely rusted and unsafe/dirty. The TV was not smart so watching netflix is not an option unfortunately. We did appreciate they had a charging station for EV cars and the location was just great. Good walk to the central resturaunts.
