beautiful lakeside location. loved the views and heated pool. Rooms are a little dated but we're great. Wished we could have stayed longer

Nice stay, lovely and clean, comfortable bed. We also enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant, which was very nice. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic 5.0
I spent 10 days traveling independently in New Zealand, and the most expensive night's accommodation initially seemed not worth it, but I was completely wrong! I came to Lake Taupo to see the lake views, but after driving around, I found that the best view was actually from the small balcony outside my room. I sat there all afternoon and felt incredibly relaxed. The dinner and breakfast here were also delicious. If you happen to stay until Sunday morning, there's even a limited-time small market you can explore! I can only say we were quite lucky.
