"Booked for a standard cabin with ensuite and expected an oldish cabin but we actually got a 2 bedroom cabin with ensuite and it was modern and very clean. Had everything we needed and the cabins were really warm. Definitely kept us warm in a very cold weather. Had enough space for my 15 mnth old bub to walk around while inside. And the cabin we were staying also overlooking lake taupo. Staff were friendly and never had issues. "

"Very comfortable and clean room. Quite, ample free parking, across the street from the beach. Great location to explore Taupo. The only complaint is in asking for a later checkout. As is typical in New Zealand, checkout time is 10am. I requested a later check out time and was told that 10:45am would be the latest. Personally, I am in favor of whole hour rounding. "

"For the price we paid we're pretty sure we got one of the best views/stays at a hotel in Taupo that we've had thus far (and we come here often). The bed was comfortable, the TV worked well, the internet was great, and the takeaways from the restaurant were amazing. I don't know why'd you pay double or more for anything else when you'd get exactly the same. This place is a bargain. There's also a pool and spa (which we didn't use) that were in great condition. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful and overall our stay was great. Would highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to stay!"

"We had a fantastic trip to Lake Taupo. Great little hotel, high quality facilities and very comfortable beds. Walking distance to bars and restaurants but a decent kitchen you could make breakfast if you wanted to. We highly recommend this hotel and Taupo, much nicer than Rotorua town, great holiday feel. "
