Overall was a pretty pleasant stay, liked the fact that we had our own carpark right outside our room. The property is an older property so it does have its flaws. A couple of downsides were that the walls seemed like they were paper thin because we could hear everything coming from the next door neighbours rooms, almost like they were in the same room as us. Which wasn't ideal. The floor of our suite was also super creaky and loud which was a little annoying when staying with multiple in the room and trying to be quiet but I guess that comes with staying at an older property. Our upstairs TV didn't work at all which was disappointing. Location was great and walkable distance into the city centre. I would stay here again.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a really great time. They have great facilities, pool, jacuzzi, laundry facilities and the staff are all very helpful. They made us welcome with a box of chocolates, because it was new years, and really made our stay comfortable. Top marks all round!

Well located, close to the lake and the main hotel/dining precinct in Taupo. The buildings are showing their age a bit, but the unit was large and well equipped.

Nice and central to downtown Taupo. The single bathroom was a bit small for the full family. Nice to be over the road from putt-putt golf. Beautiful view over the lake.

Overpriced for what it is. We visit Taupo often. No soundproofing between units, woken in early hours by neighbors who weren’t particularly noisy just moving around. Location is good to access town but I’d stay elsewhere.

Room itself was ok, clean. Very narrow and steep stairway to upper bedrooms. Walls super thin. Other guests noise penetrated easily. Biggest downer was over pricing. Not good value for the $$$. Place is old and needs a full upgrade. Spa bath was nice and the view over the lake was good.

Property was up to standard. Little noisy but to be expected near main road. Small issue with water but resolved and made it up by giving us a late checkout.
