This isn't our first time booking this place, as its location is perfect for a short trip in Taupo. However, we were a bit disappointed this time. It seems there was a mix-up with our room; we had booked a Superior Room but received a Deluxe Room instead, and some advertised features didn’t match what we found. Additionally, the photos for the Superior Room were a bit misleading, as they suggested it would have a private bathroom, which wasn’t available during our stay. While we appreciate the charm of the property, it was a bit frustrating when our expectations didn’t quite align with the experience.

Property is old. One of the sofa bed in lounge wasn’t in good condition, the mattress on sofa bed was old too. Couldn’t sleep comfortably. We didn’t know that bedroom doesn’t have heat pump. For 2 degree Celsius temperature heat pump is must. Room bathroom and kitchenette were nice and clean.

Fabulous location opposite the lake and a short walk to restaurants and shops. Very happy to have access to ground coffee and a coffee plunger. Bed was clean and comfortable. Steps to our room had sensors that were a tad slow to switch the lights on and the lights could have been brighter but other than that everything else was great and we'd happily stay here again.

Nice and close to the waterfront and shops which was great. First impressions weren’t very good as pretty much all the dishes were dirty and required us to do a load on arrival. Tables hadn’t appeared to have been wiped down either. We had booked the deluxe apartment and had paid for a fifth person however there was no fifth bed made up. Apparently this had to be requested which the receptionist said we should have been prompted for online (I never saw this). I imagined this would have just required some initiative or common sense. Bedroom with the queen bed was nice but got quite cold at night which was not ideal for baby in portacot. The heat pump didn’t quite heat up that room. However, reception were happy to lend us a heater for the second night.

Very welcoming, forgot to specify that we needed the kids beds to be made up but the lovely lady in reception even come over to our room to ask if we needed her help to make them! Has even gone out of her way to courier something back to us that the kids left behind. Great location and the heated pool was a great bonus! Thank you🙂
