Definitely a modest cheaper stay, the rooms are in desperate need of improvements, not a heap of creature comforts. If you're after a cheaper stay where you are just there to sleep then its the place for you but if there with a family with some need to spend a bit more time in the room then its not the place for you.

Clean comfortable and convenient. Unfortunately this place looks like it's suffering from lack of maintenance. Cups needed washing, faux leather flaking off couch, 2 light bulbs dead, TV working but no reception on any channels, bed cover ripped. But good heater and clean. Also, convenient location for fishing at the bridge pool.

Lovely property close to Lake Taupo and Nat Park

We loved the staff. Very kind and the restaurant is awesome!! Our room was funky. The bath sink won't open so it fills with junk and slowly drains...slowly. They need a plumber in room 12. The property is lovely. The location is super. It's a favorite hotel for a construction company so the trucks in the parking lot make it tough to maneuver. Turangi is a great launch spot for the National Park which is why we picked it. I would return to the area at Lake Taupo as it is a great spot on the lake for fishing and enjoying the lake coast. The actual room has a shared deck, used by others to get to their rooms. We faced a large lawn in the morning. Lovely bird activity in the early am. Other that a dissappointing plumbing issue we actually attempted to fix, to let the bath sink drain, it was pretty cool. I will go back to the nice restaurant, but not sure about the room. Gotta have decent plumbing, It wasnt very clean..
