Wonderful location with a beautiful view of the lake. We had dinner in our room and the room service was very prompt and the food was good. We could have had a meal in the restaurant but it was so nice to be in our room and listen to the waves and birds - plus an amazing sunset. Slept listening to the waves lapping on the shore- sheer bliss.

We had a lovely view of the lake. The facilities in the room are beginning to show their age, but are quite comfortable. We were disappointed that although the room had been made-up, the bed was not made! Dined both nights at the Edgewater restaurant. The meal was good. Breakfast adequate.

Spent three nights in a junior king suite. Lovely room with a huge comfortable bed, large bathroom with spa bath. Balcony overlooking the lake as I think all rooms at this hotel do. Staff on reception and bar and restaurant very efficient and helpful. Would definitely stay here again should we visit Taupau in the future.

We stayed as a family with our young daughter. The hotel is right on the waterfront of Lake Taupo which is ideal for walking along the shore and the views are excellent. Rooms were modern and clean. The hotel has a nice restaurant, if a little old fashioned, with a great view of the lake and the sunset. My daughter loved running down to the water and looking at the ducks. The pool was heated like a hot tub, which was a surprise but very relaxing. My only concern was that we booked a junior suite and my parents in law were in a superior room but both were almost identical. Ours was on the first floor and the decor was slightly more modern but other than that the footprint of the rooms were exactly the same and they had the same amount of living room furniture. The junior suite was only slightly more expensive but we had hoped for a separate living room in which our daughter could sleep in her travel cot. Regardless, it didn’t bother us and both rooms were lovely. I only mention so other travellers know what to expect.
