The room was extremely nice and well appointed. The view from the front windows is amazing. The thing that put us off the most was the incredible amount of noise from the Social Club Restaurant directly above us. We found the bed to be quite hard. Once the noise stops(The restaurant closed at 9.00pm) we thought it was good value for money.

Close to lake. Friendly service. The onsite but privately owned restaurant is very good and well priced. We had a separate kitchen and large bathroom. Clean and comfy beds. A bit nousy above but luckily everyone went to sleep at a rwasonable hour. Outlook was onto corridor and pool but that was fine as only there for a night. Well priced in the budget range and was a larger room. Would stay there again.

Late booking

Left our booking too late for V8 Supercars in Taupo so had to settle for what we could get. This accommodation is more of a backpackers than a hotel/ motel. Ran out of hot water this morning so a very cold shower. Next time I will book sooner
