Our family stayed in the Tongariro Unit for the night. It was perfect for our family of 10 who had travelled from Hawkes Bay and Rotorua to celebrate our son's 5th birthday!! The unit was so spacious, comfortable and a hone away from home!! Our children enjoyed the playground and the open grounds! Special thanks to Vicki for helping us... More

Enjoyed four nights at Great Lakes Holiday Park in one of their cabins. Camp ground is well kept, kitchen was spotless, they even had some communal crockery and cooking pots. Toilets and showers were also very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It takes only minutes to drive into central Taupo so a great location. Would recommend to anyone.

We stayed here two nights on a campervan holiday around the north island of NZ and we had a wonderful experience. We had really nice people at the counter when we checked in - very friendly. There was a good atmosphere to this camping ground and seemed very family friendly. We had a powered site right near the facilities, which... More

In my camper van touring around NZ - this has been my favourite site so far. Doesn't have the fabulous views that Hahei does, by you do get a nice view of the lake. The facilities are very good, with good kitchen and a small lounge which is great now it's getting cooler at night and the camper van is... More

We stayed in a tourist flat, at Great Lake Holiday Park, which was fantastic, so clean and had everything in it we wanted. Loved the rabbit towels on the bed. Owners very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended :)

We stayed in what was described as a " self contained stand alone unit ". It was compact to say the least and it had a very dated interior. There was a sliding door between the bedroom and the bathroom which just did not function properly - in other words you could just not cut the bedroom off from the... More

Only 5mins from this holiday park to the centre of Taupo (hang a right just before crossing the bridge into Taupo as you head south - on the road to Acacia Bay). A lovely family-owned/run holiday park who are friendly, helpful and very reliable. The cabins are very clean and tidy and I find this a very quiet environment for... More

A wonderfully quiet and well maintained holiday park away from the hustle and bustle of town but still close enough to easily and quickly access the many attractions Taupo offers! A high standard of of service on arrival and throughout our stay from the friendly family owners. Can't wait to return next holidays!
