Great views of the lake
Our lovely host greeted us and she was friendly and approachable. There was a problem with our hot water in the unit - we had none, but this was quickly sorted.
The view of the lake was gorgeous.
We were walking distance to the restaurants.
The bed was comfy and the spa bath was a bonus.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect location
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!

Nice and central to downtown Taupo.
The single bathroom was a bit small for the full family.
Nice to be over the road from putt-putt golf. Beautiful view over the lake.

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.
