As the title says this is the fourth time we have stayed here. It is an excellent stop over when travelling further down the country as it has such lovely rooms, pools and restaurant. We will continue to stay here whenever we are travelling through Taupo. You cannot beat it.

We booked for one night on route to Napier from Akl. Our request was for a quiet twin bedded room. Exactly what we booked we got - the room was lacking personality for a new accommodation block with such a good rating. The room was huge with 2 tiny single beds, I would have put some comfortable lounge chairs around... More

We spent 2 nights at the Hotel. Our room was on the 3rd floor with a balcony overlooking the lake and mountains - never tire of this view.

Wonderful location, great thermal pools and the restaurant was above our expectations. Our room had views over Lake Taupo and we were able to see the magnificent mountains with snow on top. Thermal pools at 35c and 25c were just right for moving from one to the other. One for plunging the other for swimming. Gym was of a high... More

Had a single night stopover at Lake Taupo. Suite very comfortable, dinner venue had amazing views across to the lake as the sun went down and the meal was stunningly good. The underground secured parking was well worth the option. The swimming pool looked inviting though we didn't get time to use it. would recommend as a stopover venue

The best facilities at the hotel is the pool complex. Relax in the naturally heated spa pool in the early evening, look at the stars and then go to dinner at Bistro Lago. So good after a day playing golf at Wairakei International Golf course. Then a night of blissful sleep in the very comfortable beds. Very enjoyable stay. Would... More
