The exterior of the buildings is very dated and off putting when you first arrive. The staff were friendly and allowed early check in. Rooms clean and beds comfy. The setting is lovely and peaceful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Basic but neatly presented room, clean enough. Location is nice if you like a quiet area, but still close enough/short drive to key areas like Huka Falls and Taupo town centre. Soundproofing is not the best though so expect to hear your neighbour moving about. The room was listed as having a hairdryer but this was not there upon check-in. Went to ask reception the next day but reception was unmanned, so I just skipped and air-dried… no biggie, just a small irk. Parking is very easy, right outside your room on a gravel area.

The linen/towels etc were nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable but the level of maintenance for the whole property was very poor. I imagine that it was a lovely property and with some scrubbing of the walls and waterblasting and painting e.g the railings outside the rooms would really help. Yes there'd been some extremely heavy rain and gumboots, if we had some to get through the large puddles outside the rooms. It could look really nice again with some physical effort.

Honestly, when i arrived the first impressions were: "Have I been scammed? Is this place still open?" I couldnt see anyone around and the buildings looked pretty run down. However, I did receive a very warm welcome and the room was very clean and well put together. The place is dated. However, it is comfortable and fine if you dont need to walk anywhere for anything.

A beautiful, remote location. Its a bit more on the run down/diy improvement feel. They have tried to do up the bathrooms and kitchens, which looked nice until you look a bit closer and some mistakes were made. The soa bath was a nice surprise, a bit run down again in the room. Overall a nice, quiet place for families, playground on site.

If you want '5-star rock-star' type accommodation then best you look elsewhere......BUT........if you want good honest comfortable and authentic 'kiwiana' accommodation at an affordable price look no further. I stayed there for x3 nights whilst site seeing the district and have no regrets at all. Bed was very comfortable and warm (resulting in a continuous 8hrs sleep every night) , room cosey and warm (thanks to efficient heat pump for chilly nights), strong wifi, almost instant really hot water, adequate kitchette area for heating up pre-prepared meals bought with me, and with complimentary tea/coffee/sugar and salt/pepper sachets, tv, separate bathroom with good hot water and tap pressure, etc, etc. Yes the walls between units are a tad thin and the grounds a bit tired looking and 'this and that', but it's real and has a unique character - it's different and safe. Worked for me and if you open your mind and relax a little it will work for you also. A bonus is that the highly rated AC Baths Taupo Swimming Pool complex is only a 5 minute walk away as is a really good bakery/cafe for those wanting/needing an early morning barista coffee fix and food to accompany........Stuart in Tauranga

Pros: spa bath was nice. Room was warm with heat pump and fan heater on when we arrived. and looked clean and tidy at first glance , reception friendly. Nice Reno in room too. Price was right. Cons: outside very rundown giving a bad first impression. 1 hair in shower and soaps scum needed a deep clean. No extra blankets, mezzanine bedroom was warm with heat pump but back room was cold. fan heater provided but didn’t want to leave that on all night, an extra thick blanket for downstairs would be good. Some glasses were dirty.
