Window decor could do with an update especially in the lower level rooms around the courtyard area. I my opinion, blackout curtains would work much better as it appears the outside lights are left on all night! Guests departing at 5am need to be mindful of other guests who could still be sleeping and perhaps depart in a manner that avoids waking these guests. Carrying a bag rather than dragging it through the courtyard and down the steps would be a better decision!! On a positive note though, the rooms were very clean and staff friendly

The shower curtain was a bit out dated and the bath tub but for the rest it was pleasant.

We were greeted by Clare and Lion at reception. Lovely, friendly and helpful. Our room was very small but clean. Bed was comfy and it was very quiet. We only stayed one night and it was perfect for our purposes passing through Taupō. I am sure there are bigger rooms available. The view from the front of the hotel is beautiful and the lake is magnificent.

I was very disappointed. It was dirty, run down and being on the lake front I was expecting the rooms to have a view. Won't be returning to stay at this property.

Comfortable lodge with nice staff; note there is very little parking and the space is shared with the Social Club, so you may have to park on the street.

We stayed in the basic studio and it was very small - but to be fair exactly as stated in the information when we booked. It was definitely the cheapest place to stay in town so a good deal for what we got.

Bed rolled together into the middle. No aircon unit just a fan and a window which couldn’t open fully due to security. Tv reception was awful. Other than that I guess you get what you pay for

Cosy property, no aircond which on a warmer night made sleeping difficult. A fan was provided which helped. Pool was good for kids, spa was outdated and dirty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would we stay again - Yes. Expectations met the fee paid
