Overall, my stay was enjoyable with spacious rooms and a fantastic walk near the resort that kept my kids entertained. While the kitchen and bathroom were newly updated, some areas felt a bit dated. The service was hit or miss; while some staff were very accommodating, others were noticeably rude. The nature surroundings were a highlight, but it could use some cleanliness improvements.

The rooms were quite spacious, and I loved that we had Netflix which kept the kids entertained at night. However, some parts felt a bit worn despite the new kitchen and bathroom.

I had mixed experiences with the staff. While some were really helpful and turned on the heating and lights before our arrival, my friend's check-in experience was unfortunately rude enough that she decided to leave.

The hotel is nestled in nature and it’s very convenient for accessing nearby attractions. I loved the proximity to the natural hot springs and enjoyed jogging with free access to natural hot pools.

We enjoyed breakfast; it was an impressive spread and definitely good value for the money. However, starting at 8:30AM felt a bit late for my liking.

The amenities like the pool and spa options were decent, and the overall vibe of the facilities was pleasant. It could have been cleaner though.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the grounds were beautiful and the staff were genuinely welcoming, the room didn’t meet my expectations due to heating issues and safety concerns for small children. I really appreciated the prospect of their bar and restaurant opening soon, but the dining options were limited during my stay. Overall, I found it to be a decent value, especially with the promise of improvements in the future.

Rooms

The room was a bit chilly, and the heating seemed to have a mind of its own. It had two single beds and no door, which made it quite unsuitable for my little one due to safety concerns with the stairs.

The dining experience was limited, and I’m looking forward to their restaurant opening. The evening options during my stay weren’t very diverse, but I could tell there is potential for improvement.

The hotel grounds are really beautiful, and I can't wait to see the amenities expand when the bar and restaurant become available.

The hotel has a lovely setting, surrounded by nature yet close enough to the bustling town center. While the room size was decent, I found some cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall experience. The service was hit or miss, with some interactions being very pleasant while others left much to be desired. The amenities, especially the thermal heated area and hot pools, were certainly a highlight, offering great relaxation options.

The rooms were a bit smaller than I would have liked and weren't cleaned very well, with dust on the microwave and marks on the bathroom mirror.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was ideal for accessing local attractions and the service was friendly and accommodating, the rooms left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The facilities were decent, but I felt there were a few areas that could have used improvement.

Rooms

Unfortunately, the room wasn't clean at all and felt cold, suggesting a need for better insulation. I could also hear the TV from the adjacent room well into the night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

The hotel is well-placed with easy access to shops and recreational centers around Taupo. I particularly enjoyed a short walk to the river for some lovely hot pools and the beautiful Huka Falls.

While the hotel had decent facilities, some areas, like the loose front step, need attention to ensure safety and comfort for guests.

The hotel is located in a peaceful suburb, making it a great spot for relaxation while still being near attractions like the Spa Park. The amenities provided were just what I expected, although I found the rooms were not as clean as I had hoped and lacked air conditioning in the upstairs areas. Overall, it's a decent place to stay with some room for improvement in cleanliness.

Rooms

The rooms had all the amenities one could expect, but unfortunately, they were not clean and still had food remnants from previous guests. Also, the lack of air conditioning in the main bedroom was a discomfort.
