We loved the location, just perfect, but the cleanliness of the place was very poor. Stained linen, dirty floors and dirty toilet. I would stay again, but only if the apartment was cleaned properly.

Wonderful views right on the shore of the lake sunset across the water was magical. Difficult to find the entrance from main road could have better signage. Enjoyed the thermal pool. Could not fault the facilities in the unit.

This was one of our favorite stops. We loved our room looking out over the lake and appreciated the jacuzzi tub after doing the Tongariro Crossing hike. The room was clean and was a short drive to shopping and restaurants.

Nice property about 5 mins from Taupō township. Large ground floor apartment with excellent lake views and access to common area hot pool. Tons of people go by the apartment to exercise, walk the lake side with kids, swans feeding in lake too - was a vibe, apartment still felt safe and quiet. Spa bath in room was cool too. Handy to have use of site washing machine and dryer available to use. Would stay there again.

The Hotel had an amazing view of the lake, which is why we picked it. The Hotel manager was attentive to our needs (no hot water, and sewage smells in the room) and quickly addressed them. The room is looking as if it needs a bit of updating painting done. The linen on the bed had stains both on the duvet and the white bedspread, not very attractive. Also the smell of the carpet fragrance (possibly to counteract the sewage smell) was overpowering for anyone with sensitivities to smell.
