Had a fabulous two night stay here with my husband. Room was great. Restaurant was really nice but at 18 dollars for a non alcoholic cocktail it was quite pricey... Big city prices outside of the bg city... But the food was good. Hotel staff were really friendly. Grounds were lovely. More

Didn't try restaurant as we had 4 unadventurous kids so didn't want to waste our money!! Just loved... More

I stayed there for two nights last year during winter. There was a huge group of us for a conference. I went swimming in the spa during the day, used a supplied swimming blue and white towel, took it back to our room to shower and change for dinner. When we came back to our room after dinner, the blue... More

My wife and I arrived late afternoon, after driving from Auckland, and were met with a very friendly reception. We were upgraded, without asking, to a one bedroom apartment on the top floor, with a tremendous view of the lake and mountains. As a diamond HH member and, as my wife is disabled, we were allocated an underground parking space,... More

My husband and I weren't sure what to expect with the Hilton Lake Taupo. However, we thought we'd give it a try as we had some HHonors points to burn. Little did we know that we were in for a major treat. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by Nadia-the Front Desk Manager on duty. Having spent hundreds... More
