I found this property cheaper than the others in the area and I was looking for a short term stay so I chose this. It was in line with my expectations for the price offered. My only suggestion would be that the rooms (especially the linen) could be a little cleaner. Otherwise, I was reasonably satisfied.

This place is not as advertised and was so bad we did not stay there. After seeing the room we immediately returned the key. I will be requesting a refund it was so poor. Room was old, unclean and musty smell. Also very few furnishings so very basic compared to other options in Taupo.

The bed is comfy, and that's the best feature. You literally get what you pay for, which isn't much, but it does the job if you just need to sleep

Bed was clean and comfortable. The interior of the unit looked like it could do with a lick of paint and a general upgrade. The whole place looked dilapidated and run down, especially the reception and exterior of the buildings. The resort is in a lovely peaceful location and had much potential - but needs a serious upgrade!!!!

We arrived and we thought it was derelict. Very old building. This is not what is advertised. Photos deceiving as must of been taken years ago. Would not stay again. This should not be allowed to advertise when it’s nothing like the pictures.

The place is fairly run down, but I understand new owners have just taken over. The reason we booked here is because it is pet friendly. A lot of motels in Taupo are not. We were only there to sleep, so on the whole the experience was not too bad. The place does some potential to be tidied up.

For a name like 'Grandeur', I was expecting a reasonable level of comfort. It may have been nice 5 or 10 years ago. But now feels derelict, barely maintained. It beats sleeping on the streets. But feels like a crappy rental. I promptly booked a different motel.

This seems like a business in transition. Some of the unit/buildings had been done up very nicely and other parts were a bit old and tired. The grounds with a thermal stream were beautiful. Other than aesthetics, it had everything expected: nice beds, a stocked kitchenette, couch and tv, wifi, parking, a little playground, and a big soa bath with towels.

Parklike setting 3 mins from Taupo Lake. Great bed, clean linen and water pressure. Quiet setting. Sadly my superior chalet was unmaintained for 70 years. Curtain rails detached, unwashed cups in cupboard and floor unswept. Things just seemed grimy. Tried to cancel on arrival. I suggested they accurately describe property - there was nothing superior here. Thanks for partial refund given.

This place obviously used to be amazing in its hey day. However the buildings and surrounds are dilapidated and in need of repair. We had an end unit, two beds upstairs and a double downstairs at the back. My son slept on a rollaway bed. Sheets were clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was average. Toilet and basins were clean and functional. No towel rail. Shower had no plug and looked gross. Only my daughter used it once. Spa bath was a nice addition although in the freezing back room, however was happy to have a bath rather than use the shower. Kitchen was basic but clean. Overall we got what we paid for. Nothing fancy. Not super clean. Old and tired facilities. Staff Were friendly and helpful. Also gun range could be heard from there which was annoying.
