Top Waihaha Hotel Reviews

Ika Nui Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed three nights, it was a perfect location and the room was clean and worked well for us. The only thing I would point out was that the pool cues in the games room had no ends on them and the pool balls were not all there, my kids and I enjoy playing on a pool table so were disappointed that we were unable to play. Other than that I recommend Ika Nui and will stay there again."

Hilton Lake Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Great vacation spot and fantastic service."

Beechtree Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Will be back."

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Good basic cheap accommodation"

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, had everything we needed , beds were comfy very comfy , had all the amenities including air con and running hot water which catered to me and my family of 4. Very quiet and you even get views of Lake Taupo from the room . For the price we paid we got more than we bargained for 👏. Props to the house keepers whom work hard day in day out to get these rooms looking the way they do for guests. Only downside is when you’re going to the pools be mindful it’s A steep walk down and then back up once you are done swimming . That’s the biggest downfall with De Bretts , and run down."

Sacred Waters

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxing lake view"

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

"Close to town, and a pub right onsite, but quiet and comfortable. Had Sky 55+, so many channels to choose from, and if you get the rooms near the back corner you'll get the sunset for much longer"
