We booked this hotel on short notice while driving through Taupo. Parking was convenient, and the hotel is right on the shore of Lake Taupo, within easy walking distance. However, the elevator was broken when we arrived, and the stairs were quite narrow, so you might want to be aware of this if you have large luggage.

The facilities are average, the lake view is almost invisible, the room is quite large, and the facilities are a bit old

A few minutes' walk from the beach, there is a natural hot spring with a pool. There is a kitchen but it is not available. The handsome guy at the front desk provides very good service. Parking is very convenient, and it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to drive to get Chinese food.

Very interesting property. Check-in was a breeze. Nice view of the lake, small (but adequate) room. A/C leaked onto table & floor, but nobody at front desk to report it to. Good location for a couple of nights max. Close to downtown.
