Good
Pros:

The location, the restaurant upstairs had an amazing view of the lake.

Cons:

Didn’t have a view of the lake from the view, also the door got locked at 8pm. This made us have to leave through the back which seemed a little inconvenient as it was much further for us

Has seen better days
Pros:

Central enough to Taupo town centre.
Temperature of the room was good.
Clean-ish, but very tired fixtures.

Cons:

Spa pool was full of fern leaves, could be avoided with a proper cover on it.
TV did not work in the room, so we got moved to a room where it did work.
Second room had a broken light above one of the beds.
Shower was broken and would only point at the wall.
Pillows were lumpy and beds were not great.
The entire place is in need of some TLC & maintenance to spruce it up.
1 teaspoon in a room for 4.
