Wonderful

The self fill mineral pool was fantastic!!! Six foot across - so relaxing. The bed was huge and super comfortable and the room even had a partial view of the lake. The garden was beautiful and the staff just lovely. Only suggestion would be that some of the wooden furniture surfaces need a sand down and revarnish and the plastic above the pool and the shower also need a refresh. Will definitely be back!
The geothermal spa pool was lovely. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room had its own private spa, a good facility but difficult to get in and out of as it is recessed.
We didn't like the bedrooms being upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. Otherwise it was comfortable.
Lovely place with pretty garden and friendly staff who upgraded us from studio to apartment at no extra cost.Free use of washing machine. Just by the beautiful lake.Comfortable bed with crisp bedding. Short car ride to eating areas.Mildew on bedroom curtain onto balcony let it down a little
The location was ideal since we had our bicycles. Really nice and close to the lake front trail and nice easy parking in the back. The Hot Mineral bath was nice after a days ride.
Loved the space in our 2bdm Room really loved having a tv in the lounge & main bedroom.
By far the mineral pool was a highlight all my boys and myself loved it thank you
Love the private mineral pools, the reason why we choose to stay here when in Taupo… so relaxing. The staff are also friendly and helpful. Also love the garden, very cute.
Beautiful property. Off street parking but a bit tricky to park as quite narrow.
Lovely owner, spa nice and hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The upstairs floors were very very noisy and only a small heater for downstairs.
Tha bathroom shower head needed a replacement but the facilities were spotless
The gentleman who runs this property is a lovely man. He is kind and helpful.
Unfortunately the motel is very run down and did not look like the photos shown on the webpage. We found many things in disrepair in the unit including the oven/dishwasher but the one main concern was the safety of the hot water when showering.The water run’s suddenly extremely hot ( dangerously so) then cold within seconds.
