My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable overall. The grounds were beautiful, providing a lovely atmosphere, and the heat pump made my room really cozy when I arrived. However, I noticed that the sliding door in the bathroom felt a bit unstable, and it could definitely use some updating. The restaurant hasn't opened yet, but I’m excited about it! The value for what I paid was quite good, especially with the quality I experienced.

The resort's location is a bit spread out, which did make finding my way around feel like navigating a labyrinth, but it's convenient for accessing Taupo's recreational spots.

I had a comfortable stay at this resort, thanks to the nice amenities like a microwave, kettle, and mini-fridge in the room. However, there were a few cleanliness issues that stood out, especially dust and unclean ceilings. The spa bath unit made for a cozy upgrade, but I hope they address the loose front step soon; it felt risky. Overall, it was a decent experience with good value for the price.

I recently stayed at this resort and had a mixed experience. The setting was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature which was perfect for quiet relaxation. However, the room had a broken window and the customer service could use some improvement. Overall, it offers a unique getaway but might need some upgrades to be ideal.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to scenic trails and the Waikato River, making evenings enjoyable for leisurely strolls. It felt a bit isolated from the main town, which I didn't mind.

I had a relaxing stay at this resort, which offered a lovely spa bath in the room, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The rooms were equipped with everything my family needed, making our stay comfortable and cozy. Although the location next to the Thermal Spa Park was rejuvenating and serene, I did encounter some noise from neighboring guests. The value for money was decent, considering the amenities available, although dining could use more variety. Overall, it's a good spot for families, but there are a few areas for improvement.
