Top Craters of the Moon Hotel Reviews

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

8/10 Good
"You can definitely see the grandeur of the past - but property is in need of renovation. Good food and service, welcoming reception - but when you get in the room, you feel a bit disappointed. Understandable, the renovation of the resort will come with a price - but it needs one. Having single glazed windows and no heat pump in Winter is mediocre, to say politely. Surely it is a good place in warm season, with perfect location and amenities. Overall pretty good place, but requires work."
