Highly recommended
We had a really lovely stay. Very comfortable room. Highly recommend the restaurant, especially for the view. It’s a little walk from the town centre but the view on the way makes up for that!

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Loved the pool and hot tub. Close to the center of Taupo. The downside was that the staff started cleaning surrounding rooms at 6am and loudly knocking on each door before entering.
