Very close to Taupo town the lake love exploring Taupo but the thing is was bit too small for a family for 4 was tiny beds very comfortable wish they had a tv in adults room and bigger kitchen and pool would be good but other than that we all enjoyed staying there highly recommended for smaller families like one child and two adults or jus two adults

If it's just a bed for the night you're after then this would be fine but anything longer is not suitable. We put the dishes out to be cleaned as directed and came back to dirty dishes which meant we couldn't eat in the room because the facilities don't allow you to clean them yourself. We stayed here as it was dog friendly but it's not fenced and the rooms were very small for a group of more than 2

10/10

My wife, son, and I stayed overnight and had a very pleasant experience. The entire place was very clean and tidy, which we appreciated. Although some guests might find the rooms a bit on the smaller side, we had no issues with the size and found them cozy and well-appointed. The beds were particularly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep for all of us. We also appreciated the great off-street parking, with allocated spaces for each unit, which added to the convenience of our stay. Overall, we were very satisfied with our visit and would recommend this to others looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.
