Can't beat the views of Lake Taupo off the balcony. The room, the pool, onsite parking, and the friendly staff were all wonderful. We will be coming back to this hotel on our next trip.

Excellent location adjacent to lake shore with lovely views. A 50 minute walk into town but 5 mins in a car - needed for restaurants other than the hotel.
Our room opened up directly onto the path right alongside the lake… With beautiful views! We also loved the proximity to the town, breakfast buffet, and the grotto. It was also nice to have the small gym.
