I found this gorgeous place reminds me of an old ski lodge. Fantastic kitchen balconies and views. Staff are extremely friendly. Two blocks from Taupo towncentre. I was very happy here. Can walk into town but does have undercover car parking.

Great place convenient location in lovely town, great amenities, only thing is they keep the toilet door open and in the winter it gets cold in there, apart from that perfect!

Great facilities, but initially difficult to navigate around buildings and rooms - more signage would be helpful to find rooms.

I stayed just one night. There were 3 people in my room and 8 people is available in my room. There were 4 bunk beds and i stayed the below one. It was so low ceiling so i hit my head so many times 🤣 The bed was not dirty but not clean. The kitchen was small but i think it was enough. So i am almost satisfied with the hotel. I stayed Haka house Rotorua before, so I expected that Haka house in Taupo also be same quality. But in Rotorua was better hahah please check my review of Haka house Rotorua🙂
