Wairakei Resort Taupo
The resort is a bit run down. The floors squeak when you walk but the worse thing was the bartender. He was making "jokes" about gullible Americans. He knew we were from America and the jokes weren't funny. We found him to be very rude. Otherwise, the staff we encountered were okay.
