The property is close to the lake and has beautiful views from the courtyard.
It really needs a good refurbishment. It’s very dated.

Being able to take your dog on holiday with you makes it all the more enjoyable.
The staff were very lovely and helpful. I can not fault them on their friendliness.
Check in and check out was easy.
They allowed for extra parking.
We loved being able to just walk down onto the edge of the lake and go for a stroll.
As taupo is our yearly family holiday destination, we will more than likely stay here again.
I'm not sure if we just happened to be in an older room which hadn't been updated but it did feel a little run down. The single beds were not comfortable for adults.
Because it was dog friendly, we knew it wouldn't be glistening and, that's fine.
But the bathroom is in need of updating, and the lock in the bathroom fixed.
The rules on having a dog were quite strict. I understand keeping them off the beds, that is fine, but only allowing them to be left in the room for 30 minutes max is a bit short. We had crates for our dogs to keep them comfortable and would never have left them for a long period, but 30 mins is extremely short even just to get groceries it can sometimes take longer.
But in saying that, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Good location
Very run down and dirty. The photos did not accurately reflect how run down the property is now.
