Great facilities for our teenage/tween children. They enjoyed all that was available, gym, pools, sauna, spas, tennis, hoops, squash etc... The staff were incredible best service I have experienced in a long time. The grounds were stunning. Great location - close to bike tracks and all that Taupo has to offer. The rooms were clean but quite dated the whole place could do with a refurbish (new carpets and bathrooms.) I would recommend eating out we did not think much of the food (breakfast buffet and restaurant.)

Despite the age of the facility Accor Wairakei Resort is still one of my favourite hotels in NZ. Always a pleasant greeting from professional staff. Location is perfect for travelling as is 12 minutes drive north of Taupō so you are ahead of other traffic first thing in the morning. BP is across the road for fuel etc.

While the staff was great the property is tired. The carpet in our room was thread bare and ripped. The A/C in one of our rooms was non functional and the water shut down for a period of a few hours one afternoon.

This hotel has had a real uplift since the change in management. Everything feels a bit cleaner and fresher, and the staff — especially in the restaurant and the cleaning staff— are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a lovely, refined atmosphere, set in a space with a stunning timber ceiling. With continued upgrades and refreshing of the facilities, this resort has the potential to become a truly top-tier hotel.
