The room was tired and there was very little storage which meant we had to live out of our suitcase.
It is well positioned on the lake front and it was an easy walk into town.

Reasonable
Our stay was fine but the rooms were tiny. There is no room to store a suitcase flat. Bed was comfortable and showering our room was good.

Highly recommended
We had a really lovely stay. Very comfortable room. Highly recommend the restaurant, especially for the view. It’s a little walk from the town centre but the view on the way makes up for that!

Late booking
Left our booking too late for V8 Supercars in Taupo so had to settle for what we could get. This accommodation is more of a backpackers than a hotel/ motel. Ran out of hot water this morning so a very cold shower. Next time I will book sooner

We stayed in the basic studio and it was very small - but to be fair exactly as stated in the information when we booked. It was definitely the cheapest place to stay in town so a good deal for what we got.
