The Retreat
This place is amazing! Such a beautiful, quiet location with great views of Lake Taupo. Our chalet was very clean and comfortable. The hosts, Annie and Mike, were extremely helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend staying here.

Wairakei Resort Taupo
We love our family trips here. Although there is still some investment needed to bring the resort back to its former glory, it is good to see that some money is now being spent on upgrading the property in the form of new carpets and upgraded tennis court area.

Lakefront Lodge Taupo
Polite staff on arrival. Comfy bed, room nice and clean. Was on the ground floor, perhaps a room on a level up may of been better, will do next time. Great location Right across the road from the lake which was lovely, and an easy walk into town.

Room was clean and adequate for our 1 night stay, although the beds were not very comfortable. Too soft for our needs
