    Nothing really to dislike. Just a short walk into town which might put people off but not us. It was lively.

    Lovely little and nicely decorated hotel, we loved this place.

    The hotel had indeed a great and gorgeous location in main foyer area. Moreover, it was very close to the shores of Lake Taupo and beach and bike track around lake. The rooms were neat & wonderfully appointed. Enjoyed the lake view.

    The location was beautiful right on the lake so lovely walks around the lake. Besides, it was short walk to Taupo for 3 nights, the waters edge and the main centre.

    The bed was a bit hard, that's my bad luck.
