Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

    The staff when we checked in were so lovely, it was a very busy time but we were still looked after great. The room was SO clean, everything in the room was as advertised. Room was serviced daily to a perfect state, very thankful to the staff for looking after us. Plenty of information about Taupo is available in the reception and room. Location was perfect, great views of the lake and surrounding areas. Quick walk to the shops and restaurants, parking was available at the property. Pool and spa area was central to the property so easy to find and use.

    We loved the old world charm of this heritage hotel. The golf course was fun to play on, and the hot pools were relaxing, even in the rain.The staff were very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed both the restaurant and the bar food. The continental breakfast (included in the room price) was ample, and l particularly liked the cheese scones. We will definitely be returning.

    Close to the city centre. Clean and tidy. Had everything we needed. Our room was lovely and warm. Beds were comfy. Kids loved the hot outdoor pool although the private spa pools weren’t that warm compared to the swimming pool otherwise we will definitely be back to stay again in the near future.

    The Lake itself was huge which we hadn't expected. There is a well-positioned walking track to take in more views of the lake and other areas of Taupo. Vibrant place. Was easily able to imagine the increase in vibrancy during the upcoming summer seasosn. Good shopping facilities.

    Turangi is a beautiful, scenic location and the people are very welcoming and friendly. We were impressed by the service and choices at the Hydro Cafe, the Flytackle shop and the NZ Post shop. We also enjoyed the Pihanga Gallery showcasing local art and crafts and a delicious Italian meal at Valentinos. It was beautiful in late autumn and we'll visit again.

    My first trip was 45 years ago.

    My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.
