  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

From the moment we arrived, we received a warm and friendly welcome from the amazing staff, especially Laurel, who made us feel comfortable straight away. The accommodation was clean, quiet, peaceful, and beautifully presented. The kids absolutely loved the pool, which added to an already enjoyable experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning in the future.

The staff was very nice. It is not a resort nor is it a motel (we uaed it as a motel). It really is a retreat. Very quite. Very peaceful. They talked us in to staying until 12 so we could try some of the facilities no extra charge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The units are stand-alone and spacious, surrounded by neat gardens. The unit we stayed in is fairly new and was very clean. Our family of four adults had enough space to relax, with separate sleeping areas and a full bathroom. A number of facilities which we used met, and in some cases, exceeded our expectations – tennis court, indoor swimming pool, heated salt pool, gym and sauna. The staff was friendly.

The spa has beautiful grounds. Each room has a separate cottage that was impeccably clean and comfortable. The people were most helpful and welcoming. We wish that we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend staying here.

They had a retreat going on, so no services, a long way to a town with restaurants. Not a good choice for a quick overnight stay.

The property was beautiful and had such a great time while we were there, really looking forward to staying again. Only comment would be on the cleanliness of the bathroom as the shower had water marks and soap scum all over the glass, bath hadn’t been cleaned as there were hairs throughout and the toilet and basin had stains. Laura the general manager is so lovely and accommodating so thank you for everything my family had a wonderful time
