Was travelling in New Zealand when I was forced to isolate and this location after contracting Covid (it's still out there folks!). Francis & Grant the managers ... in fact the entire team ... took my predicament in their stride, were sympathetic and helpful. My apartment was spacious and confortable with everything I need for the isolation period. Lovely location on the front at Taupo although it's still a fair walk to the centre (there is a pub / restaurant next door that alas I could not try!). Nice looking pool and Spa. I recommend going for a first floor apartment if you can so that your views are not obscured by parked cars, though be prepared to carry cases etc steps. Grounds well-kept with a nice area for a bbq. Very impressed - would not hesitate to stay again!

I didn't plan to come to Taupo... I just came from Hobbiton... I booked a room at the last minute... My friend was very satisfied... There was no place in the plan... If I didn't have to return to Auckland to return the car the next day... I would have stayed one more day... Enjoy this room~ The room is not big... It's suitable... But the key point is when the sun sets 🌇, you lie in the room and watch it. You drove all day... This view is immediately worth it... When we checked in, there was an elderly lady, very nice, and in the afternoon, it seemed to be a Chinese man, both very friendly. He gave me milk🥛... Not bad

Really decent motel accommodation. Rooms are really spacious and tasteful. Guy at reception was really friendly. Room had a Spa Bath, Sky TV and a decent Kitchenette. There was also a small outdoor patio which is quite private. A few small gripes. The Bed was dreadful. So uncomfortable. This might be a matter of opinion, but there are a few proceeding reviews which also mention this. The water pressure is poor. Takes 25mins to fill the Spa Bath. Shower is also pretty poor. There are car parks outside the units, but the allocated one to your unit, may not necessarily be the one directly outside of it. Mine was tucked around the corner, where the car park directly outside my unit was occupied by a family who made a heck of a lot of noise loading their car and kids from 5am-5.30am. Not ideal at all. Also note the car park area is pretty tight. All in all a decent stay here at Ascot Taupo. Got a really really decent last minute price, which meant the little niggles were not that dramatic. Certainly if the price was higher, I would take it all into consideration.

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.

A few minutes' walk from the beach, there is a natural hot spring with a pool. There is a kitchen but it is not available. The handsome guy at the front desk provides very good service. Parking is very convenient, and it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to drive to get Chinese food.

Been meaning to stay for years as rest of family have many times. Loved it, BUT....... security needs updating. Maybe they are doing that as toilet security door was missing and so was front access barrier! Had some very suspect people using toilet and shower facilities this morning. Definitely didn't look like guest and didn't have caravan or tent. By the look of the face tattoos looked like and behaved like gang members. Without security gates or doors they will just come in. Also some people had a lot of food- meat stolen from fridge. Sad. :( ALL THAT SAID- it's still a lovely camp. Facilities are clean, and good location next to hot pools and good sites with reasonable privacy on most sites. Would stay again.

As a Hilton Honors member, my stay at the hotel met the usual satisfactory quality. Peter at the front desk was excellent in accommodating our needs, and overall, we had a good time. However, I want to caution future guests to adjust their expectations: • The location, while quiet, is farther from the center and lakeside, requiring a car and likely keeping you at the hotel in the evening. • Our room, possibly the least expensive, was extremely small with limited space for sitting or even opening our suitcases. • Staff training or updated information is necessary; the website mentioned a happy hour, but there was none on Friday. Conflicting details about breakfast and check-out times were provided. • While amenities were nice, the steam room and sauna floor were dangerously slippery, leading to a hard fall and injury. Additionally, the pool water was not clean, with numerous hairs inside. • Some equipment, like the coffee machine, was not working.

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.

LlittleanaThe resort is right on the beach, separated by a road. Although there is no sea view, the room is quite comfortable. The receptionist is full of energy. There is a heated swimming pool in the hotel. The room is relatively large. It is good to cook your own meals in the kitchen at night.

GGuest UserWe stayed here as one nighters both in late January and early February. There were 2 single beds in the room as well as a Queen. 2 bathrooms also, the handbasin's hot water was only a tickle from the tap in the upstairs bathroom in unit 3. There was a big spa bath which we did not use. There was both an outdoor sitting.lounging area downstairrs and very sunny balcony upstairs - great for a sundown drink. The February stay had us in a room with only one signle bed and a Queen bed, no updtairs, and a outdoor seating/lounging area, The rooms are clean, well equiped, comfortable and spacious enough. Plenty of bath towels provided also. The rooms reek of air freshner, which I hated but some establishments clearly like using it liberally and unnecessarily. A short walk down a back path on the premises will take you down to the lakeside walkway and beach area, we walked around to the lovely outdoor seating lakeside Millenium bar and had a drink, it was a nice quite spot. The decor is dated and the wallpaper is peeling in parts, a refurb should be on the cards soon. It is very popular so it must be appealing enough. Yes, I would recommend (if you only require a clean bed for the night. Reasonably priced also.

Location was excellent just far enough out of town to be quiet but close enough to walk in along a walkway. Staff were extremely friendly. Room was clean with lovely quality bedding Dinner in the on site restaurant was really good and with a great view of the lake. Breakfast was fairly basic but sufficient and of a good quality.

GGuest UserWe 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.

The room is clean and hygienic, the facilities are complete, the service attitude is quite good, and will patiently explain the precautions. The hotel is equipped with parking spaces, so there is no need to worry about parking problems. All in all, a value-for-money experience.

GGuest UserWe were booked at The Grandeur via an online site for 2 nights for 4 of us. I rung the night before we left to confirm we would be arriving the following day, everything was all sorted and they were expecting us even though they hadn't replied to my email asking for confirmation. The following day (4 hrs into a 6 hr driv)e I get a message to say booking has been cancelled ???? I rung to question and was told even though I selected to pay on arrival they had a direct booking so had given them our room. I advised we were nearly in Taupo and was told we'll sorry you should have the money and pay up front, I explained I did have the money and he could just debit my card, I was given the option on booking to pay on arrival which worked well for us and had never been a problem with any of our previous extensive NZ travelling. He said not my problem and hung up. We then had to park up for an hour to try and arrange accomodation for 4 of us when the whole town was literally booked out apart from the high end hotels. We did manage to find 2 available units but at double the price as had to book 2 units instead of a 2 bedroom. My husband could hear him yelling down the phone at me and being so rude especially when I said I would be sure to warn others of his unprofessionalism. Thankfully we didn't stay there if that's his attitude where a direct booking worth more money involves canceling a traveller's plans on the day as to not have to pay the booking company a commission definately not customer focused. To insult a customer by saying maybe you should have some money is so rude and arrogant as that wasn't an issue. I have since been told the place is disgustingly dirty, mouldy and we had a lucky escape. Be warned do not deal with this guy you could end up sleeping in your car if he gets a better offer for your already booked room.
