I stayed at multiple cabins during a roadtrip through New Zealand. The cabin from this resort was the best equipped: TV, fridge, microwave, etc. The beds were super comfortable and the cabin spotless clean. The shared kitchen, bathrooms and laundry were clean as well and well equipped. At the same time the price was competitive. The spa (open air swimming pool with hot(!) water) is just few hundred meters walk away. If I would visit Taupo again, I would stay again at this resort.

This Motel was one of the best I have ever stayed in. It is absolutely spotless has everything that you would need plus more. Spacious unit with lovely views across the lake. The host was very helpful and friendly and made me feel welcome straight away on arrival. The atmosphere of this motel is relaxed and inviting. The private plunge pool was a bonus and again was spotless. In all it shows that the owners care. Highly recommend.

When we arrived the pool was closed nothing was given to make up for this inconvenience and waste of our money. We had to just accept it. There was not enough time to enjoy the facilities for the time we stayed. The room wasn't cleaned properly and the shower pressure was so hard that my toddler couldn't shower safely

Awesome place any time of year. Always super things to do and see. Only thing for our stay that let our time down was two of the popular restaurants having not so welcoming front of house. Below par food and service was very lacking. In house Drinks extremely expensive with cock tails so large no alcohol and only fizzy and ice. 👎

It has changed so much since my holiday years here i50 years ago. We were here for a 70th birthday, a great catch up with all the whānau i stayed with during the 8 years I came here during Xmas holidays. It is still a beautiful town, seeing men and boys fishing in the magnificence of Tongariro awa bought back so many memories of all the whānau that have passed on. The eateries catered for every preference, highly recommended Turangi as a destination.

Cambridge is a very pretty town - especially in Autumn when the trees are covered with golden leaves. There is a great farmers market on Saturday mornings. The Town Hall has a fantastic programme of concerts and arts events. There is a nice range of restaurants and bars. The high street has lots of interesting shops. They are very into cycling (check out the velodrome) and horses. I stayed for three nights over a weekend, which was good, to have a look around. If you have longer, in a nice place to stay, you could really unwind.

Visit the Marakopa waterfall, The Piripiri caves, the Maungapohue Natural Bridge, the Ruakuri walkway ( including spectacular caves) and continue driving out to beautiful Marakopa and on to Kiritehere beach.

Lovely town close to Hobbiton (which is excellent for all ages). Great restaurants & op shops (but the latter were closed on public holiday.) Opal Springs Thermal Pools great for families. Okoroire Hot Springs (via the Hotel) - pools suited to adults only -sit and soak, no splashing or head under. Facilities around pools in very poor condition. One toilet shared men & women, one tiny changing room, also shared. No rubber matting on floor. Had to change in muddy puddles. Sad because these pools are historic, first concrete pools built in NZ. Could be lovely with some investment. Hotel itself is beautiful, heritage decor, provides meals & accomm. But pools too expensive - $46 for one senior & 2 kids for an hour.

A cute village with a hippy feel. Lots of galleries to view art and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a yummy woodfired oven pizza with great customer service at George's Beach Club. It's a short 10 min drive to surf beach, Ngarunui Beach. Lots of stairs down to the beach. The harbour is picturesque to enjoy a less busy space if you want that.
