Lovely place in Taupo
Hotel itself is older but it is well maintained and cared for. The lady that owns/manages the property is very friendly and helpful. The bed was a bit firmer than I like, but that’s a personal preference thing. View of the lake from the deck was spectacular. Rooms were very spacious. Good value for sure.

So cool to book a room with a private outdoor mineral water tub to use. The room was also nice and comfortable, with some useful kitchen amenities like a French press coffee pot/plunger coffee.
