Lakefront Lodge Taupo
Although we enjoyed the lake view from our room it was small and without air conditioning. The fan was noisy as well as the music from the restaurant.

Wairakei Resort Taupo
Accor took over the property last year and clearly it needs alot of refurbishment. However the room was very comfortable, bed was good, it is in a good location and was good value for money.

Hilton Lake Taupo
Lovely spacious clean suite. Adored the swimming pool and facilities. Our stay was over Valentines Weekend and the Hotel was very busy. We would like to mention Emma behind the bar, who was rushed off her feet, but still managed to give us great attention and friendly service. Well done Emma.
