Liked everything, although very little room to move in the toilet!! I forgot to tell the owner that the fridge in our room (room 4) wasnt going - we didnt realise till the morning when we were checking out, and I forgot to mention it, sorry. Not sure if it wasnt plugged in or what, but it definitely wasnt cold.........But we loved our brief stay, everything else was great, thank you :-)

Newly renovated, the rooms are cosy and comfortable. The bathrooms especially were better than some fancier hotels I've stayed in. The staff were also extremely friendly, including the owner who is actively still improving their facilities. I've stayed in a few different affordable places now in Taupo. This has become my first choose.

The place was amazing exactly what we had been looking for and to be greeted with a smile and chat, everyone so friendly, the atmosphere there is hard to explain but it was beautiful. A stroll down the lake to all the cafes and restaurant. We had a lovely dinner we got everything we asked for and more. We will definitely be coming back again to beautiful Taupo.
