"We have been here many times and love it, sadly it is really starting to show its age and need a complete makeover. Possible some areas are newer than others so when we return we will be a little more selective in choosing a room. The staff were very friendly and helpful the other amenities as stated are showing their age however it has it all, the pool are amazing. Great locations for family's with kids, it would be great if they could however identify adult couples staying and place them away from family's."

River View Retreat Taupo

River View Retreat Taupo

10/10 Excellent
"Stunning property, beautifully clean and perfect for a family. Travelling with 6 adults and a child, we found this lovely house provided an abundance of space, gorgeous views directly overlooking the Waikato River and an immediate feeling of luxurious relaxation. An easy 20 minute stroll along the river to town and the lakefront, and being in a private court it is super quiet. While the house is not in the middle of town, which we knew when we booked, the location is so picturesque and the house so comfortable that we had no issues with needing to drive 5 minutes to the CBD if the weather was poor. The kitchen had everything we needed and love the inclusion of cooking essentials like oil, herbs/spices and quality cookware. We visited during Spring with cool nights, and used the thoughtfully provided plug in heaters in the bedrooms, with the fireplaces and once we worked out how it worked, the gas heating kept it cosy in the living areas. We loved our stay and will be back without a doubt - highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. "
