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.
