Lakefront Lodge Taupo
I booked a Lakeview room specifically for our trip to Taupo. Upon arriving at 5pm to check in, we were told that our Lakeview room had been given to someone else. We had no option but to stay in a small view less room. We were extremely anmoyed to put it mildly. Will never go back there
