    Location is fab. View is amazing over Taupo lake. Off street parking. Walkable to city center. It was really nice to have a spa bath. But the room is starting to look a bit dated.

    Right on the lake and near the falls also. The rooms were spotless and comfortable! Really nice path along the lake for a long walk and a natural hot pool just steps away.

    The view from the room was lovely. The property provided a free washing machine, dryer and clothes airers. We had a room with a spa bath and they provided bath salts which was a lovely touch.
