The stay itself was a pleasure, but more than that, the exceptional, extremely friendly staff made this stay one we will never forget. Right from the start we were greeted so kindly and they even helped us get to the spa in Taupo. At this point, my mother and I would like to say thank you again! :) Taupo was a highlight of our New Zealand trip! :)

    Loved the self fill private hot pool, the heated towel rail was an unexpected bonus. Perfect for self catering with a real oven, range of kitchen utensils, and a small fridge with a small freezer for ice cream. Super comfy bed and very clean. Enjoyed late afternoon drinks on balcony (in June!), set back from road so not a lot of traffic noise.
