The location of this accommodation was good and convenient, which was a positive. However, beyond that, our overall experience was a bit disappointing. We stayed for a full week during the peak xmas season. The pool and spa was one of the reasons we booked for the kids, but after using it once on the first day, it was closed for deep cleaning for the entire week. This was especially disappointing for the kids, and had we known in advance, we would not have chosen to stay here. Although the website advertised daily servicing, this did not occur during our stay of 7 days. I asked twice and was told staff were short, and that we had been added to the cleaning list, but no service ever took place. That said, staff did provide everything we requested each time, towels and supplies, which we appreciated. For longer stays, daily servicing is important to keep rooms clean and tidy. If we were to stay again, I would make sure to request daily servicing regardless. However, due to the issues experienced during this stay, we may not choose to return.

This was a great place to stop for a couple of nights in Taupo. The proximity to the lake and town centre was fantastic - an easy and pleasant walk. The unit was very clean and comfortable. Appreciated the access to washing machines. The games room could do with some maintenance and upgrade of facilities (eg the ping pong table had no net, there was no chalk for the pool cues.) Nevertheless we had some fun games with our seven year old, and had an enjoyable stay.

Staff very friendly, clean and tidy. My only issue is they advertise that they have a pool and spa but they have shut it down until it can be repaired/renovated. It would have been nice to know before we got there as we had children wanting to swim, that was one of the main reasons for choosing Ika Nui.
