The town was awesome but the old building without proper renovation for a good night sleep is a terrible idea. We do not recommend staying here to relax.

Resturant was nice, food was really good, cosy friendly, helpful staff. Would have been good if the room had a nice big couch and tv in the lounge area for family time. Kind of a strange layout, it was a very cold day in taupo, but the room was surprisingly warm after turning on the small heaters provided. Larger milks for cuppas would have been nice.
