Lakeview Room

Lakeview room - ground floor. Very small room and bathroom not much room for a couple. Bed was very soft and one of the wheels kept falling off. Bathroom was sufficient but shower leaked every time. Would request an upstairs room if staying again, a lot of people walking past all the time meaning you really needed to always have the net curtains drawn for some privacy.

What a pleasant surprise! While the property could stand to use some aesthetic upgrades (eg, the furniture is dated, carpets / lighting fixtures are old, etc), it was otherwise perfect! The location right on the lake with all rooms having a private patio or balcony can’t be beat. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the in room hot tub was amazing. Also, the grotto spa at the hotel was great!! We only stayed for 1 night passing through, but wish we had more time to just relax and unwind.

Very nice reception and restaurant, but the rooms went downhill. Our shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and our telephone didn't work. Had to go to reception instead of call to book a table (which isn't a problem really), but the staff didn't speak enough English to understand what we were trying to say about the telephone not working. Eventually, someone who understood and could work around problem turned up to our room, she couldn't fix it, but understood what was wrong.

Lovely location directly on Lake Taupo, however the lake path is around 2 metres from the sliding door to your room if you happen to be located on the ground floor. The storerooms are generous in sizing but only have queen size beds. Decor a little dated but very comfortable. The restaurant was nice with a good menu selection. There is also a lovely area adjacent to the restaurant for drinks. Breakfast was delicious, best scrambled eggs! It’s a bit of a walk into town but doable. The rooms are possibly a little noisy due to the busy road behind the hotel. Once we shut the door to our bedroom, the bathroom acted as a buffer so it was much quieter. Parking is right outside the lower ground rooms. Staff were fabulous and very friendly.

Quality comfort with a little glamour in Taupo

We were looking for somewhere with a bit of comfort, at short notice do to an extended work trip. I have stayed at Millennium hotels before around NZ and theyre pretty reliable and this one had an in-house restaurant, better than the thought of battling Taupo chaos on a holiday wkend. Checkin was friendly and easy the room was spacious with a great view over the lake. Everything inside was clean and in good condition and comfortable. Spa bath was welcome. There was a little noise at night with the room opening to a hallway that was open on one side and overlooking the carpark and road, you could hear traffic at night, but it wasnt bad. Ate at the restaurant, excellent service and meals were delicious. Make sure you book on weekends or holidays, we were lucky to get the last table. Overall a really good stay and would happily stay here again.
