10/10 Exceptional

Great, but breakfast not worth the money

Generally great, breakfast would have been great at half the price, it was a good basic buffet breakfast but the price was for something much better. Coffee was from a machine that seemed to be filter although it said esspresso, and only eggs were scrambled.

Terrific in Taupo

Stayed overnight and perfectly adequate for our purposes. Older style hotel in large grounds with lovely heated pool. Great parking. Did not use bar or restaurant.

Pleasant stay as always. Quiet and away from touristy parts of Taupo yet accessible to everything. Will stay again with our family.

8/10 Very good

It's a lovely resort but if you want to leave you have to drive as it is well out of town.
Rose, 1-night trip

Great location and facilities. If I had to be picky I’d say there needs to be more parking.

Matthew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This resort was a nice escape from busy Taupo! Loved the outdoor pool plus jacuzzies. Staff were awesome and the steak was delicious
Sheila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, but.....

The public areas are very good, with lots of sporting amenities for families, and the staff are very friendly and professional. Location is excellent if you are happy to be out of town a bit - approx. 10 minute drive. But the rooms are a little dated and in serious need of a refresh (at least ours was). There was only 1 chair and 1 bedside table in our room and I think it's reasonable to expect an enclosed shower these days rather than one over the bath with a shower curtain. That said, shower had good pressure and the bed was large and comfortable. Probably a 6.5/10 overall
John, 3-night trip

It is close to Taupo, yet you feel like you are in a very relaxing environments. The staff are fantastic.
