Great location, a short drive to the central part of town. Our room had a lake view, which you can enjoy from a covered and heated balcony, which gives it a plus if you go in winter. The room itself was really comfortable and every detail was well thought out. The spa pool was divine and the place was an oasis to relax. I'll definitely stay there again.

The rooms were huge with a small kitchenette, access to laundry in the hotel and the pool / hot tub area was fabulous. Easy access to the lake beside the hotel and a fabulous walk along the lake also.

We had a great stay at River Farm Retreat. The place was really clean, comfy, and had plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for our rafting trip at Awastone, and we loved the beautiful walk nearby too. Everything was well set up and made for a really easy, relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay here. The room was immaculate and felt comfortable. Had a large sized bed, spa bath with jets, awesome view of the lake, heating, lighting and all other facilities were great! We were away from the road so didn’t hear any cars at night and parking was right next to our room. We chose the perfect location as it is close to town and other nearby activities aswel. Highly recommend this place as we definitely got our moneys worth and staff are lovely. We will be back!

Tony is such a lovely host. I had a lovely room with balcony and a mineral spa! Great to sit on the balcony and catch the lake views and amazing sunset. Mineral spa is such a bonus to soak away your tiredness from travel. The room was super clean and every facility was great. Right across from lake Taupo meant that lakeside walks and to the center was very handy. Thank you Tony!

Convenient and easily accessible. The view from our room was amazing, listening to the waves and watching the sunset. The staff were super warm and friendly. We upgraded our room and had a lovely stay in a spacious one bedroom suite next to the lake. Would definitely be booking here again
