It was nice and clean . Staff could of gone a bit further and been more welcoming. You hear a lot of noise from other people, you could hear alot of footsteps, using the bathroom, coughing etc. Not that people were noisy you just heard alot of noise through the walls. So if your going in a lovey sexy weekend, it might not be the place for you,or maybe it is.

We were greeted by Clare and Lion at reception. Lovely, friendly and helpful. Our room was very small but clean. Bed was comfy and it was very quiet. We only stayed one night and it was perfect for our purposes passing through Taupō. I am sure there are bigger rooms available. The view from the front of the hotel is beautiful and the lake is magnificent.

The location was central, first room was good upstairs, second stay the room was smaller with one window and it had a bush outside the window and I think the sandflies were coming into the room at night. Too hot to close the window as we only had a fan.

This was such a good find. The room was clean and had everything I needed. It was very small, but that wasn’t an issue as I was travelling by myself. The staff I spoke to were all very friendly and accommodating. The bar/restaurant on site is also very good. The only drawback was that it was very very hot in the room and despite having the fan on and the window open all night, I was too hot.

The room was very small and very hot - however there was a fan provided which was great. The only crockery in the room was glasses, cups and teaspoons, but on request I was provided with some plates, knives, folks and spoon. Overall the location was awesome and the price was great compared to others around it. The Social Club meals were lovely and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly.
