The hotel is located within a commercial complex in the centre of the town, easy to park and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around. The stuff members are all very friendly. We liked the room - very modern, spacious, comfortable beds, nice toiletries..... The room was on the 1st floor, facing to the parking space, but it was quiet at night. Highly recommended if you are travelling

    What a fantastic surprise this stay ended up being. We booked it during our travels for a quick place to stop at after visiting Hobbiton and on our way to Auckland without expecting much. However, the old world charm, the excellently maintained hot springs, and the delicious dinner were all great surprises.

    Taupo is a family friendly destination with many activities available around the lake. However it can be very busy during popular season such as the Christmas break, so making a plan to visit in advance would be my recommendation. We love Taupo, and it will be somewhere we keep coming back.
