Sacred Waters Taupo

The hotel is located on the shore of Lake Taupo, just downstairs from the lake. It has two buildings, one in front and one behind, and is not very tall with many rooms. If you book a lake-view room with a balcony, be sure to request a floor above the 3rd floor, otherwise the lake view will be blocked by the front building. Try to check in before 6 PM, otherwise there will be no staff to provide service, making it feel like staying in a B&B.

The view was amazing. Although I visited in winter, on sunny days we were able to use the outdoor bath.

Right by the lake, the room is big and clean, with complete facilities and basement parking

Very satisfactory hotel, comfortable, clean, and the service staff is very nice. Don't worry if you go out late, there is a garage key in the room key, which can open the garage door directly.

The staff is very unfriendly. There is only one way for vehicles to enter and exit the hotel. Because the road signs in the hotel are not clear, we almost had an accident and they chased and blamed us. There is no hot spring as advertised, just an iron bathtub, and the privacy is relatively poor. The most important thing is that the staff is very unfriendly. I paid to upgrade the room, but they complained and sneered when I heard that I had stayed for only one night. There is no cleaning staff and any service. It can't be called a hotel. It is not worth the price at all.

The environment is good, the facilities are OK, but I don't like the service attitude of the counter

This is the most amazing hotel in our New Zealand trip. Taopo city has a good impression. The hotel is modern in design, the room is very spacious, and the facilities are complete. From the bath to the bedding, they all reflect high-end quality. There is also a swimming pool from low heat. It's a pity that I only stayed for one night. I also want to say that the hotel reception staff is very enthusiastic!
