We were so impressed with this wonderful accommodation. It was spotlessly clean and the shower pressure was INCREDIBLE!!! The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need and all of the beds were very comfortable. We’ve stayed in Taupo many times over the years but the Phoenix will always be our first choice from now on.

Delightful

Great place to stay near town centre. Room was well appointed but as we were at the far end of the resort, Wifi was limited but not the end of the world. Lots of facilities to use if we had the time.
