Lakeland Resort Taupo
5/5 Excellent
"Fabulously quiet, easy checkin with polite staff. Some deep cleaning is overdue (on top of light shades and in corners) but otherwise a lovely quiet and well priced room. Would happily stay there again. "

Great stay with great views!
"We had a fantastic stay in Acacia Bay. Such a nice house with beautiful views. Would definitely stay again! We would recommend adding some appliances such as a BBQ, some oven trays for cooking, some tongs and maybe some cooking oil or spray. Other than that, it was great!"
