Top Wairakei Hotel Reviews

"Really enjoyed the thermal pools and loved the peaceful atmosphere"

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

The Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Heaps of space in the one-bedroom, all clean and tidy. Great facilities with the pool and tennis court! Handy parking and super easy walking distance to town. Lovely hosts!"

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Quite location."

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."

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."

Cascades Lakefront Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely situation on Lake Taupō. Would have liked a bow of the Lake and Mountains"
