Terrific in Taupo
Stayed overnight and perfectly adequate for our purposes. Older style hotel in large grounds with lovely heated pool. Great parking. Did not use bar or restaurant.

Haylee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, but.....
The public areas are very good, with lots of sporting amenities for families, and the staff are very friendly and professional. Location is excellent if you are happy to be out of town a bit - approx. 10 minute drive. But the rooms are a little dated and in serious need of a refresh (at least ours was). There was only 1 chair and 1 bedside table in our room and I think it's reasonable to expect an enclosed shower these days rather than one over the bath with a shower curtain. That said, shower had good pressure and the bed was large and comfortable. Probably a 6.5/10 overall

Our stay was ok , we thought the bar and restaurant were a bit pricey , Accommodation was fairly average compared to other places we stayed in recently, Think I’d look elsewhere

TIMM, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place
Great facilities, got a bit warm though. The pools were spa temp, too hot to swim in, and there was no aircon. The ceiling fan was adequate once I found the switch to make it blow down not upwards, ie it was still in winter mode.

Derek, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice little hotel. Pools, gym and sports areas were all great. Wifi is basically non-existant. As well, the hotel was quite noisy due to how loud the doors were when closing. Walls are pretty thin! Staff were very pleasant, overall decent stay.
