Very pretty setting and just needing to update their property. The beds were very old/bad and the air smells of sulphur gas mostly at night as there are natural thermal areas around.

This is a wannabe 5 star hotel. Rooms large grounds nice. Food choices unacceptably limited. If you want coffee you need to go to the gas station across the street. Ditto for lunch. No USB ports in room.

Stayed one night so was only after a bed. Interior was a little dated (was in the 400 section) and needs new carpet and some paint. Shower was good and the hot pool was excellent. Super friendly staff

Early morning lawn mowing was a bit pathetic. Do that after your check out time. Otherwise the place was tidy.

Very nice stay! And a short drive to the shopping area in taupo as well as the falls and craters of the moon. The floors where creaky and noisy though, and there was only two guest accessible washing machines for the entire compound, which where both confusing to locate and constantly in use. Very nice staff though, even security!

What a lovely serene place to stay! The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Highlight would be the service and food at the Geyser Bar - Food was top notch and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommend. Facilities were great as well with the heated pool being a definite bonus.
