Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Privacy an issue on the rooms facing street. Somewhat rundown condition of the whole property i.e. big scrapes of wallpaper missing and unfixed. Water run cold and barely ran hot.
Great place on the waterfront with friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
Great, close to town, well priced and amazing facilities. Staff were very helpful in finding a park as I had a jetski in tow. Definitely would stay again. Next time we are back in taupo we will be looking to stay here.
Property great location but needs double glaze windows as you can here the traffic and staff after hours the doors are locked and hard to give them keys back
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.
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!
Great location, very close to town centre and plenty of restaurants/bars in the vicinity

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Overall was a pretty pleasant stay, liked the fact that we had our own carpark right outside our room. The property is an older property so it does have its flaws. A couple of downsides were that the walls seemed like they were paper thin because we could hear everything coming from the next door neighbours rooms, almost like they were in the same room as us. Which wasn't ideal. The floor of our suite was also super creaky and loud which was a little annoying when staying with multiple in the room and trying to be quiet but I guess that comes with staying at an older property. Our upstairs TV didn't work at all which was disappointing. Location was great and walkable distance into the city centre. I would stay here again.
Suited our needs perfectly - easy parking. Easy check in and check out. Walking distance to main town. Great views from room. Suitable for two adults and two rowdy kids
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!
Close to centre.Just perfect plan of unit for short or longer holiday stay.Very clean.Beautiful swimming pool area.
Overall highly recommend.

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.
