Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. Nice location and beautiful rooms. Only stayed for one night but enjoyed the walk nearby and used their kitchen facilities to cook a nice steak dinner.

Just 300 metres from the lakefront of Waipahihi Bay, Little Haven offers an outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub. The self-contained apartments feature a fully equipped kitchen and a flat-screen TV. Guests enjoy a children's playground and a games room. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They recommended activities in Taupo, good restaurants and breakfast places that were all amazing! They helped us with our skydiving reservation and went out of their way to make sure we could get our jump. Location is a few minutes walk away from the lakefront and the harbour can be reached in a 20~30 minutes very enjoyable walk. The room was extremely clean and well furnished. Beds included a heated mattress which was the cherry on top for our nights!

You can play table tennis, darts and tennis at this 4-star bed and breakfast, and the area is popular for skiing and cycling. Ski storage space can be found at the bed and breakfast, along with a shared lounge. Your Bircher muesli was very nutty, tasty and filling. I'm very sorry I totally forgot to pick up the two muffins from the table. The breakfast table location was wonderful. A lovely view for us both. The heat pump in the breakfast room/lounge was powerful and warmed the room quickly on what was a coolish morning. Easy to operate shower.
