Great place
Great facilities, got a bit warm though. The pools were spa temp, too hot to swim in, and there was no aircon. The ceiling fan was adequate once I found the switch to make it blow down not upwards, ie it was still in winter mode.

Old, hot, noisy and tasteless
The resort is old and tired, no upgrades have been done. No air conditioning, so the rooms are extremely hot. The ceiling fan was noisy, so we couldn't even use that. The food in the restaurant is average and over priced.

What a lovely serene place to stay! The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Highlight would be the service and food at the Geyser Bar - Food was top notch and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommend. Facilities were great as well with the heated pool being a definite bonus.

Best feature was the hot pool! Property has potential but it’s a bit tired, so it definitely could use updates. It was an ok place but not great.

Very nice stay! And a short drive to the shopping area in taupo as well as the falls and craters of the moon. The floors where creaky and noisy though, and there was only two guest accessible washing machines for the entire compound, which where both confusing to locate and constantly in use. Very nice staff though, even security!

Early morning lawn mowing was a bit pathetic. Do that after your check out time. Otherwise the place was tidy.
