Skis in Lake Taupo

All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. We had both breakfast and supper at the hotel and it was delicious; supper in the Ruapehu room was one of the best meals of our 3 week vacation! The hotel is also within walking distance of a few trailheads and the visitor center!

Really enjoyed this lodge, with two spatubs, two fireplaces, restaurant, bar, great wooden beams, small but comfortable room - and a great team of young people running the place !

Easy to find motel, backs onto river, check in was easy and owner most helpful advising on where to eat, the walk that can be done along the river and back (which we did and found to be well worth doing), the room was clean and tidy but the bathroom a bit cramped, there is a shared kitchen and lounge area which was of a very high standard . Would recommend this as a place to stay especially if you are into trout fishing or want to use it as a base for other activities

This was a one night stay to break the journey. Welcome was friendly, room was spacious and comfortable with a nice courtyard view. Bed was very welcome after a long trip. Good selection of Sky channels to relax with also.

Only a one-night stay but overall, would certainly stay again.

Key and note left in mailbox; nobody there to greet you. But that's fine. Nice facility and parking right in front of the doorway. Great place to have a glass of wine and enjoy the view of Lake Taupo in the distance.

We stayed only for one night in the ensuite cabin with 2 smaller children. We loved coming into the cabin and the heatpump was working...straight away so cosy! During our stay strong winds and cold air/rain was around us all the time, but it was no problem keeping the children entertained. They loved the bunk bed with the window, so they could play together up there, loved to go to the pools during the day and night and kept warm in the water. The only negative was that most of the time the black board in the cafe was closed, so we had to drive to town to get some warm food.

A real winner just off the main waterfront, pub close by. Not noisy and really comfortable. Short drive into Taupo (5mins).

An enjoyable stay close to ski resorts in a lovely quiet corner of the world good restaurants close by.. only negative was rooms not at all sound proofed from each other lovely hosts good brekkie

excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. I will stay here again for sure.
