Booked s budget double, wax told on arrival that he as bunk beds. Sorted that out, given a queen double room, only to find it hadn’t been cleaned after the previous occupants two days earlier. Second new room was ok though, but s frustrating start.

Had a great night's sleep. Unfortunately I had to check out early but the Social Club upstairs looks awesome
Very small room with bathroom but fine for a one night stopover on way to Auckland with a late afternoon arrival.
Was walking distance to Taupo for food (there was a restaurant but as a solo traveller don’t usually use restaurants on my own)

Biggest pain was the bathroom door didnt close properly left a 100mm gap.
Otherwise good sized room, and the service and meal at the restaurant was excellent..the views from the restaurant are superb.
Service desk was at least half an hour late unlocking doors to the stairs, not the best.

Booked breakfast for 7.30 . Tried several doors to get to dining room but all were locked. On our second visit we asked at the desk when we checked in and apparently there was one upstairs but there was no one we could ask at the desk on the previous stay and there was no written directions at reception. Otherwise our stays were satisfactory.
We chose a room with a bunk bed. The bunk bed was old, squeaky and unstable. Everytime someone moved you would wake up.

I let them know I have a disability, and while I was given a downstairs room, it was a long way from the front door, and down a long hallway, right next to the laundry. There was no one to help carry bags, etc. The food was OK. The same fried food I would have had at home, but not done as nicely. The bed was had and there was no chair or other place to sit in the room. The view was a plastic pipe in a dirt garden! No lake in sight.
The accommodation is in a great area walkable to town or great walks in other direction. Lakefront.
Room very clean, bedding/beds appeared very new. Warm.
Great little hot tub - didn't have time to try the pool - but was heated.
Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly.
Some room features a bit tired - but to be expected at this price-point. I can imagine downstairs rooms a bit noisy if upstairs rooms occupied.
Would definately stay again.
