Lakeview Room

Lakeview room - ground floor. Very small room and bathroom not much room for a couple. Bed was very soft and one of the wheels kept falling off. Bathroom was sufficient but shower leaked every time. Would request an upstairs room if staying again, a lot of people walking past all the time meaning you really needed to always have the net curtains drawn for some privacy.

We enjoyed a lovely ground-floor room with stunning views of Lake Taupo. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, and our room was wonderful, featuring an incredibly comfy bed that made our stay even more enjoyable. The heated pool was great; all in all, we had a lovely stay.

Very nice reception and restaurant, but the rooms went downhill. Our shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and our telephone didn't work. Had to go to reception instead of call to book a table (which isn't a problem really), but the staff didn't speak enough English to understand what we were trying to say about the telephone not working. Eventually, someone who understood and could work around problem turned up to our room, she couldn't fix it, but understood what was wrong.

Liked: Amenities
Lovely location directly on Lake Taupo, however the lake path is around 2 metres from the sliding door to your room if you happen to be located on the ground floor. The storerooms are generous in sizing but only have queen size beds. Decor a little dated but very comfortable. The restaurant was nice with a good menu selection. There is also a lovely area adjacent to the restaurant for drinks. Breakfast was delicious, best scrambled eggs! It’s a bit of a walk into town but doable. The rooms are possibly a little noisy due to the busy road behind the hotel. Once we shut the door to our bedroom, the bathroom acted as a buffer so it was much quieter. Parking is right outside the lower ground rooms. Staff were fabulous and very friendly.
