Taupo Wairakei Hotels

We enjoyed our stay at Wairaki resorts, especially the swimming in the huge inviting pools heated thermally. One can take a short walk from the lower pool along a steaming hot creek that feeds the pools. Don't miss it. Our room was plainly furnished but very comfortable and well laid out. Fine sleeping in this quiet peaceful setting with only a lovely array of bird calls. The menu was a bit limited, but the meals were very good, and we particularly enjoyed the excellent and extensive breakfast buffet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One can rent bikes, and I loved my hilly ride to a marvelous waterfall while my husband golfed at the beautifully laid out course next door.

The hotel is not near the town center. not much facilities provided . it will be little difficult for old folks since there is no elevator provided. we have to carry three big luggage big to second floor.

The hotel is very new, the facilities are very complete, the kitchen is laundry and dry, the bed is very comfortable. The front desk got off work very early, but Ctrip’s order had a problem, and the hotel staff had been helping to coordinate the stay and praised one. It is necessary to criticize the background efficiency of Ctrip, and the hotel will only receive confirmation after a few hours of ordering. There are a lot of accommodation options in Taupo, but this one can still come next time and see many foreigners also live here.

The ease of being able to check in and out without going to reception is a useful feature (we arrived in good time to see the helpful gentleman on reception to check in). We did not use the full facilities of the lounge and kitchen. The room and bathroom were clean. The room was nicely a presented, comfortable bed and functional for what we needed during our stay in Taupo. We ate at Thai delight, a short walk away and had a lovely meal that came promptly and with good service.

We had a lovely 2 day stay in Taupo recently, The Gables was amazing. We where greeted with a warm smile and the owner recognized me immediately as I had emailed for our booking. We where taken to our room, heat pump turned on for us and where asked if we need anything. Our room was spacious, clean and very well appointed. We even had a small jar of home baking for us to enjoy. We will definently be staying there again.

Wonderful service upon arrival. Opened the door to unit 5 and honestly it was the best view over the lake and mountains Ive seen. The unit itself had everything and ours had a huge spa bath. Great king size bed and everything you need for a few nights stay kitchenette etc. Funky little coffee cart on lakeside 50 meters from motel.

We spent one night here. Room was large, clean and adequate for our needs. The design of the room / bath is a bit different..might say contemporary. It was quiet. Parking is limited near rooms but plenty of spaces in back of one building. There was a small kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee/tea fixings and toaster, dishes, etc., large jacuzzi tub (didn’t use) and separate shower. Our room didn’t have extra toilet tissue, the roll on the holder was a bit 1/3 full, which is fine, but needed an extra. No breakfast available, but you can make your own if you have items. We made toast and coffee in our unit.

We spent three nights at this very comfortable hotel in Taupo in early June. We were visiting our daughter who lives in the town but didn’t have enough room for us to stay. I was after a hotel with a view of the beautiful lake, but still within walking distance to town as we didn’t have a car. Suncourt Hotel fitted the brief perfectly. We booked a Premier Deluxe Lakeview Studio room. The room that we were allotted was on the top floor. There was no lift, so you needed to climb the outdoor steps with luggage. Our room was very large, with a king size bed, a desk, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. There was also a very large balcony with a stunning view of the lake and a further two chairs and a small table. The reception staff were very helpful not only with our original reservation, but also when we needed to add a night and with any questions that we had. The only downside to me was that their restaurant was not open on the evening that we checked in, which was Sunday, and also not for breakfast on the Monday morning. We did know this in advance though, and as the town was easily walkable it wasn’t a problem. We had two breakfasts in the restaurant, and they were excellent. As we had other dinner plans, we didn’t have dinner in the restaurant, but our daughter and her partner have eaten there and loved it. If you are looking for a very large hotel room with a view, then Suncourt is for you. I believe they have much larger apartment style rooms which would be more suitable for families, although we didn’t get to see any of these.

We stayed in two units for 3 nights for a birthday celebration. The rooms were lovely, spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. The service was fantastic our every need was met with warm friendly, efficient service. Highlight was the pool and its Cabana which we made good use of. There were 6 of us so it was fantastic to share drinks and a takeaway meal in the Cabana. Thank you so much for helping to make our weekend so special. Highly recommended!

What a great surprise! Taupo appears to be full to the brim with motels rather than global brand hotels making it really tough for the international traveler to know what’s good. This little treat is about 10 mts walk from the lake front, a couple of km outside the centre (so super peaceful) yet very clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped. We self catered for 2 nights, all the kitchen ware was clean, well prepared and presentable. The bathroom in our case had a shower and a huge spa bath. We had space in 3 rooms for 5, so perfect for families (although then self catering maybe a bit of a pinch)….restaurant within walking distance, super market about 1.5 km away./// Highly recommended….
