Plussat: Modern decor, tastefully decorated. Comfortable bed, high pressure shower. Short walk to town. We stayed in a ground floor unit, lake wing. No views but was perfect for 1 night stay.

Miinukset: Major renovations were taking place to at least half the units while we were there. We appreciated being offered an early check in but the concrete cutting noise in the middle of the day was unbearable!

Miinukset: Unless you're in the very front, road facing, units, there isn't actually any lake view. The view from the other units is out over the internal carpark. The only way to see the lake is to crane your neck out the door. No heating in bathroom - would be cold in winter!

Lady at reception who owns the hotel is very welcoming and informative, went out her way to make us comfortable with complimentary milk and bath salts, all with an injured hand!

Miinukset: Spa bath did not turn off at the controller had to turn it off at the wall. No lake view from room.

Plussat: It was right on the waterfront, an easy (about 1KM) walk from restaurants and retail. Although the road was busy during the day, it was quite quiet at night.

Miinukset: Internet service was poor. When it worked, it was very slow, and it often didn't work at all.

Miinukset: Quite an outdated shower system for such a great accommodation, does not match the rest. I did expect a nice hot shower in Taupo but was a bit disappointed. A couple more hooks in the bathroom would be handy too :)

Clean and luxurious accommodation, lake views forever and very relaxing for those who just need to get away for time out to rejuvenate.

Miinukset: There is nothing to fault in this accommodation

Plussat: Tauhara is positioned with superb views across Lake Taupo and about 10 mins drive from the centre of town. Daniel welcomed us with a choice of coffee/tea, a glass of beer or a glass of wine and then talked us through the local area, restaurants, tourist attractions, etc as we sat on the balcony looking across the lake. The room was spacious and comfortable whilst the en-suite functional and, again, spacious. We also had lovely views across the lake from our room. A quiet location, perfect for relaxing after a hard days sight seeing or walking.

Plussat: I can’t recommend this property highly enough. The accomodation and grounds are beautiful, well kept, with everything you could possibly need. Daniel is a fantastic host, he made us feel so welcome and prepared a fabulous breakfast. The views are spectacular, our stay made our visit to Taupō all the more enjoyable.

Plussat: Daniel was extremely hospitable, the views and cottage were lovely. Next time we'll stay longer

Plussat: Friendliest host & hostess. Made us feel very welcome. Really enjoyed breakfast - good variety of food and really nice atmosphere. Very neat and tidy. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Not much to fault :-)

Plussat: Lovley hosts, great breakfast

Plussat: Good parking, 5 minutes from town. Fabulous modern property, owners very friendly and knowledgeable, comfy beds. Divine breakfast included in price.

Miinukset: Just an observation and not meant as a criticism, As with most modern properties soundproofing can be an issue, we could hear conversations from the lounge area so presumably they could hear us in the bedroom so felt we needed to whisper.

Plussat: Never had before such a friendly und nice host, everything was enjoyable, especially the lunch packet was perfect cause of our early start of the hiking tour. As well the breakfast and especially all the helpful advices from Sue were great. Thank you very much for the nice stay!

Plussat: Breakfast was cooked for us and very good - the location is very good and close to town

Plussat: This is a great place to stay . The hosts are incredible and they will just make you feel at home . The breakfast is so delicious

Plussat: Another great stay at a well located motel. Comfy and very clean.

Miinukset: Strange smell from the bathroom drain in the evening but other than that, all we needed for a stopover in Taupo.

Plussat: Size location room always cleaned well,plenty towels etc Lovely staff

Miinukset: Everything great just kitchen bit small

Plussat: Everything.

Plussat: Location and spaciousness

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: The bed was very confert.

Miinukset: Spa system wasn't good

Plussat: The bed was spacious and comfortable and having a tv in both lounge and bedroom was great. After a huge misunderstanding with the staff they sorted it out quickly. Thanks Ron.

Miinukset: The robes are small and the spa bath was quite loud. It would have been nice to have bedside lights with the ability to be turned off individually.

Plussat: very clean plenty of spare in the bathroom and bedroom

Miinukset: Kitchen very small, no where to prep food once you have an appliance on the bench cleaning staff a little snooty when they couldn't get in the unit to clean when they anted to. We were out for over an hour one morning went back to the unit to change before going out and were told they needed to clean our unit as they finished work at 1pm. Suggest they have a door displays when customers are out so they can clean, They seem to clean in order and weren't happy when we were still thee later in the morning. It as New Year after all. Or just change the order.

Plussat: The location was excellent. One block to the lake and the same to town which meant we left the car parked at the motel and walked everywhere. The room sizes were generous and they already provided extra towels in the bathroom.

Miinukset: The only down side (for my husband) was that they didn't provide cookies with the tea and coffee.

Plussat: We had a wonderful stay. The staff were extremely helpful & very knowledgeable about the local area & activities. They were very accurate with their recommendations not only for Lake Taupo but for all the surrounding area & towns. The room was very roomy & had a large spa bath, & kitchenette. The location was wonderful. A short stroll to all the restaurants, cafe’s & shops, as well as the lake itself. The onsite Thai restaurant was also excellent & they adjusted the heat of the food as requested.

Miinukset: The only thing that was missing was a sharp knife to use in the kitchenette to slice tomatoes etc. for sandwiches. The decor is dated but clean so it didn’t really bother us. The dryer & washing machine was hard to get access to, but we were there at peak time, Dec/Jan so it was extremely busy.
