“This resort is convenient to stay at, in terms of proximity to most of the attractions around Taupō. However, it is definitely not up to Accor’s 4 star standards. Despite being old, the carpets are worn out, the ceilings are cracking, the bathrooms are stained and the rooms have a dusty smell. I loved Wairakei 10 years ago, but this was my 4th a final stay, unfortunately. The staff and facilities in the resort are helpful, but it is in need of a major facelift. Breakfast was average, you have to……
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lovely B&B, very clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and welcoming, and we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!”
“Receptionist manner could be better. Not feeling welcome at all! Especially in a tourist town. Other than that hotel is good, nice and clean. There’s a free private grotto hot pool, make sure you reserve a time for it. Good view, clean and spacious!”
“The space is extremely small—it's hard to even turn around inside. There’s no microwave and no fridge. Breakfast? What breakfast? The staff never mentioned breakfast at all; I only found out it was supposed to be included when I was writing the review. It was a very uncomfortable stay.”
