Waking up with a lake front view was amazing

Stayed in September 2025

Needs more bedding, especially in cool, wet and windy weather. Heat pump needs servicing as room never got hot, it was just tepid warm

Closeness to the town centre - walking distance

Bed was very hard. Please don’t put bath mats in shower. Husband doesn’t look before he turns on.

View is amazing. The apartment was big and comfortable. Kitchen well supplied. Appreciate the lift with luggage.

It's dated but has massive potential to be a competitive contender with a few upgrades.

The view! We didn't leave once we checked in. Just gazed all afternoon. Our room was spacious, the spa, bliss and joked about moving in. All perfect

We had a leaking tap in bathroom. The curtain rail was coming off the wall. Also the cleaner didn't leave enough towels when they were changed.

The room was great. The location was handy to everything. We would definitely stay again.

The room layout at the lodge was a bit unusual and not very practical. One of the main concerns was the lack of privacy — the room opened directly into the bathroom, and there was no lock on the bathroom door. This meant that anyone needing to access the living area from the room could inadvertently walk in while the bathroom was in use, which was quite uncomfortable. Additionally, the placement of the TV was not ideal. It was mounted in a far corner of the room, making it difficult to watch comfortably from the bed, which was positioned in the center. A better setup would be to place the TV on the wall directly opposite the bed for easier viewing. While the space had potential, these design choices impacted the overall comfort and functionality of the stay.

Great location just a 2-minute walk from Lake Taupo. My room had a nice partial lake and street view. It was clean, tidy, and came with all the basics like tea, coffee, clean towels, and utensils. A comfortable and convenient stay overall!

Not enough bed covers. Synthetic blanket not sufficient in mid winter.

Location, lake views

The bouncy lift which we were fortunately warned about- luckily we were more than able to use the stairs. Kitchen area is too small to do much more than warm up food or make toast but that was all we needed.

We had a beautiful view of the lake from our 4th storey room which was spectacular. Easy walking distance to town, heat pump/aircon certainly did what was needed and the heated blankets were great. Room was clean, bed was comfy and staff very friendly. Great that the window could open!!

It was very cold at night as no extra blankets provided! They had electric blankets (great) although don't like leaving them on all night. There was a heat pump in one room/lounge but the next room with 2 extra beds didn't have any heating devices apart from electric blankets (which were good) but only had a sheet and thin duvet cover. Would be great to have extra comforter or blankets in cupboards or end of bed! Otherwise great place to stay

Staff member on reception was lovely, bubbly and friendly so was a nice greeting! Great facilities including a stove top to cook in this room (we didn't use but great to know it's there) Close enough to town and walk across the street to the lake :)
