I booked this and then read some of the awful reviews ...however my experience was thankfully nothing like those. Check in reception was friendly and helpful, even suggesting some local things to do on a particularly rainy day. The room set up was comfortable and was very clean, including the hot tub. While they don't fully clean the room every day, the kitchen area was scrubbed daily and kept spotless, bathroom towels, etc were refreshed when requested. It's a short walk to town and the lakeview rooms are worth the extra cost. I would return if visiting Taupo again.

No roadside parking for larger vehicles. we booked last-minute as needed a rest during a long journey from the south island. it was a mission trying to find parking for our ute with limited space available in the small carpark and "no parking" on the grass area infront of the hotel. the room temperature with the underfloor heating also made it feel like we were in a sauna. Our room and beds were otherwise very comfortable and we received friendly and easy communication while booking
