Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Really lovely and welcoming staff. Great facilities including an onsite restaurant and bar, which also did breakfast - we loved being able to get room service too! We also really enjoyed using the swimming pool and tennis court. And it was super helpful having access to a laundry room which was very reasonably priced.

    Taupo is a family friendly destination with many activities available around the lake. However it can be very busy during popular season such as the Christmas break, so making a plan to visit in advance would be my recommendation. We love Taupo, and it will be somewhere we keep coming back.

    Turangi is a beautiful, scenic location and the people are very welcoming and friendly. We were impressed by the service and choices at the Hydro Cafe, the Flytackle shop and the NZ Post shop. We also enjoyed the Pihanga Gallery showcasing local art and crafts and a delicious Italian meal at Valentinos. It was beautiful in late autumn and we'll visit again.
