We stayed for one night as a couple. Being a hotel within a park, we enjoyed a stay surrounded by nature, far from the hustle and bustle of Taupo town. It was a sunny day, so we walked about 10 minutes from the hotel to Spa Thermal Park, a natural river with hot springs where you can swim. It was a lively place for a stroll.
Our room was one of several bungalow-like buildings on the large grounds, a single-story building with about 10 rooms lined up side-by-side. We could park right in front of our room and enter directly, which was very convenient. At night, the entire area around the building was brightly lit, and we could constantly monitor the parking situation from inside, providing a sense of security and peace of mind.
We chose a room with twin beds (double and single) and a private toilet and shower. The room was very clean, with clean sheets and three types of towels. The hot shower had strong water pressure and was very pleasant. The room had a basic kitchen (not suitable for full-scale cooking), microwave, electric kettle, refrigerator, plates, cutlery, cups, dish soap, sponge, tea towel, coffee, sugar, black tea, green tea, milk, table, chairs, TV, and WiFi. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, and hairdryer were not provided.
I couldn't hear any TV noise or conversation from either of the adjacent rooms (perhaps because only one person was staying there?), but I could clearly hear footsteps and chairs being dragged from the room next door. Perhaps because of this, I received an email explaining the rules before my stay, ensuring that guests were fully aware of the rules and that quiet hours from 9 PM to 7 AM were strictly enforced. I thought the management system was excellent. The staff at check-in and the cleaning staff were also very helpful. I would like to use this hotel again if I have the opportunity.
