Always a good overall stay at Wairakei, I’ve found they have a variety of rooms to suit all travellers and I’ve found the one that works for me. Got a great deal and it was a simple and easy stay. Will be back in future. Great amenities including the heated thermal pool and free parking.

Carpet in the guest room we were given was very dirty and stained.  The smoking area was right beside our outdoor space (booked non smoking).  However, they were accommodating in giving us another room.  Couldn’t get over the initial disappointment so we are glad our stay was only 1 night.

Located a bit further from the city. It has a large area with a heated pool and a gym. The rooms are spacious but a bit dated.

It's a small resort with a nice environment. The only downside is that there's no elevator for the second-floor rooms, so you have to carry your luggage up. On the bright side, the second floor offers a great view of the snow-capped mountains. There aren't many supermarkets nearby, so you'll need to go to the city for groceries. However, there's a pretty good restaurant just across the street. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's clean and hygienic, which is a big plus.

There was no shower gel upon arrival, rather than housekeeping delivering it to our villa, we were asked to walk around 500 to 800m to collect it from reception. The other single bed was a trundler bed which was underneth. There should have been signs, we only discovered on the 2nd night so spent 1 night sleeping in the sofa. The villa had a kitchen and laundry facilities so was pretty convenient for our stay.

It is a huge resort with plenty of sports facilities, as well as a sauna and hot spa. It is only a 10 min drive from town.
