Just an overnight stop in Taupo and the reception was very friendly. It was great you could check in any time which reduced stress for us travelling with a toddler. The room was clean and beds very comfortable. An enjoyable stay.

Stevo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great, but breakfast not worth the money

Generally great, breakfast would have been great at half the price, it was a good basic buffet breakfast but the price was for something much better. Coffee was from a machine that seemed to be filter although it said esspresso, and only eggs were scrambled.
Michael, 3-night trip
