What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Absolutely fantastic! Loved the size of this room and the fact that there was ample parking. Staff were the epitome of hospitality, so friendly and welcoming! Bed was wonderful! Two things I really enjoyed was the cold water in the fridge and the chocolate that was there upon arrival 😀

Love The Narrows

The Narrows was such a unique hotel. Although it is near the airport, it feels very secluded and quiet. The breakfast was simple, but so good!

Wonderful staff who accommodated our very late arrival. Room was clean and well appointed. The having to go up a few steps to get into the bathroom took a little getting used to, but when you know the history of the building it was understandable. Great place, I highly recommend it.

Beautiful surroundings and property, the accommodation was lovely and the bed super comfortable, the building is showing signs of needing some TLC but overall it was a lovely building and facilities. Staff were accomodating,a well presented continental breakfast was provided. Our only criticism was the traffic noise which couldnt be helped and the high up window with no way to block out the light. Also there was no lift available which made it difficult to carry heavy cases to our room. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

The suite was gorgeous and very tastefully decorated. We loved the calm environment and quietness of the property. The rustic charm was unique and a lovely change. Breakfast was adequate and enjoyable. The lady who checked us in early was really accommodating which enabled us to leave our luggage in the room and set off to clean the hire car which was very helpful and time saving for us, and much appreciated. Only minor, but curtain hook on one window needs fixing into the track as we had to place a chair there in order to block out the light and give us privacy.

Property was really nice and quiet, surrounded by a lush forest. We enjoyed the continental breakfast, had a good variety. I would suggest more towel hooks in the bathroom. There was only 1 hook that held 2 towels. Also, only 1 chair in the room. Not comfy if you’re a party of two. I ended getting a chair from the dining area. Other than that, this was a nice relaxing stay for us.
