"Clean room, very friendly staff. Cannot comment on nearby shops except for a Burger King nearby, since having a very short stay."

"Very large room with big deck. Huge bed and sitting area. Kitchenette was nice. However property is very dated. The room wasn’t clean. Worm found in bed. Cobwebs everywhere. Ants in the kitchenette that got into our food. Light fixture full of dead bugs. We didn’t expect anything fancy but we at least expect clean. Also lobby closed by 8pm which we didn’t know of so at least they left our key under the mat so we could get into our room. "

"The first thing that became obvious was that the gentleman manning the desk Geoff, was a very friendly outgoing and helpful guy. As we took care of the paperwork associated with getting the key for the room, he asked how long we were in town for and if we had seen anything. Telling him that we are only in for the one day that we had gone to see the glow worm cave earlier that day he immediately suggested going to locations that were within a 45-minute drive with the community. Not only did he recommend we go to see the Marokopa Falls and the Natural Bridge, he pulled up pictures and directions on Google Maps so I could see them. He also recommended a number of local restaurants to grab a meal at. He emphasized thst both of the places were free and a quick easy walk into ftom tge parking lot. My 14 year old son went. We easily found both and they were stunning. The room was as advertised with a queen size bed, twin bed, a well appointed kitchenette with chocolate complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and shower. It was impeccably clean and everything worked. The bed was very comfortable."

"I had booked a cabin without an ensuite and used the communal shower very early in the morning to avoid the rush from campers. It was still pitch black when I returned to what I thought was my cabin, where I had left the lights off but locked the door. I put my key in the lock, turned it to open and entered the cabin. I was closing the door to lock it, still in the dark, which in hindsight was just plain stupid, when someone yelled out and turned on the lights. A man was sitting up in the bed looking as startled as I felt. I had mistakenly returned to an adjacent cabin in the dark and my key had fit and turned in the lock, apparently unlocking the door, though I can't confirm that it was actually locked. Luckily, it was obvious I wasn't an intentional intruder as I profusely apologized and left. If the keys are not, in fact, dedicated to individual cabins that would be entirely unacceptable and represent a serious security risk. I am thankful the cabin had not been occupied by a woman, an aggressive person or someone with a weapon!"

"The lodge was absolutely gorgeous and was exquisitely appointed with beautiful landscaped grounds overlooking Lake Taupo. Our hosts, Gary and Shirley, paid great personal attention to every detail, from showing us all the the features of our room, to ensuring all of our dinner reservations were arranged properly. The afternoon hor d'oeuvres and wine and morning breakfasts were also delicious."

"Amazing spent hours in the pools. So much to do. "

" The management/staff are great. They offer a home cooked dinner, which is perfect after a day of hiking and exploring. Their breakfast was just right for me. Personally, I would have appreciated shampoo and conditioner in the room, and a quilt rather than a beds cover. "

"Clean and functional, home away from home"

"Room good, staff great "
