Review for Haka House Taupo: We had 3 male staff and contractors knock and then very quickly proceed to open the door of the room we were in. This was surprising and uncomfortable as two women. They then proceeded to ask if a contractor could come on to look at the bathroom which was noted as ´being the worst by far’.
