Our lovely host greeted us and she was friendly and approachable. There was a problem with our hot water in the unit - we had none, but this was quickly sorted.
The view of the lake was gorgeous.
We were walking distance to the restaurants.
The bed was comfy and the spa bath was a bonus.

Great location, basic cleanliness was good. Had everything we needed for a one night stay.
But look a bit closer and you see that deep clean items like the extractor fan vent, light shade etc. Could do with some cleaning.
Could do with a refit, but still good value for money given the close proximity to town and the waterfront.

We had a great stay. The room was clean and provides enough space for 4, without feeling on top of each other. Basically across the road from the lakefront. Nice and quiet. Great pool and spa, the kids loved it. Also only 2 blocks from the city centre.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a really great time. They have great facilities, pool, jacuzzi, laundry facilities and the staff are all very helpful. They made us welcome with a box of chocolates, because it was new years, and really made our stay comfortable. Top marks all round!

Lovely staff! The room was exactly as pictured. Clean and comfy in a great location, across the road from the lake and close walk to shops & restaurants. Pool and spa a nice bonus. There is a craft market across the road every Sunday from 9am weather permitting, it was great, Very nice mussel fritters!

Well located, close to the lake and the main hotel/dining precinct in Taupo. The buildings are showing their age a bit, but the unit was large and well equipped.
