Brownie point number 1. Great location...wow! 2. The restaurant and bar area is lovely. Disappointing elements.............. When I informed the staff at reception I was allergic to feathers and needed the bedding to be changed. The member of staff just really couldn't be bothered with me...as they don't have housekeeping staff. Fortunately when another member of staff arrived to change... More

Dear tinanadrory, this is not what I expect to hear about our friendly reception staff either, and I can honestly say it is not the usual either. I can assure you that I will analyse why and how this has been your experience. We have a wonderful reputation here for how friendly our staff are, so it is very upsetting... More

Great location to kick back and relax - away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of town! Weather was not the best but Manuel's provided warm and comfortable accommodation with stunning views of the lake. Easy access to lake track between showers! House keeping was top quality, restaurant delivered an excellent dinning experience with scrumptious meals. The Grotto... More

Stayed three nights here in March and it was very relaxed and comfortable! Had asked for a quiet/end room ( we had booked a standard lake view room), and we were allocated a lovely room at the end, past the restaurant. Every thing was great - location, spacious accommodation, cleanliness, views of the lake and all meals in the restaurants,... More

This hotel was the nicest hotel that we stayed in on the North Island. It is conveniently located and has easy access to highway. Best yet is the amazing views of the lake. The rooms were lovely overlooking the water. One downside was that there was no elevator or bellboy available for luggage to the second floor...I was glad we... More

Our stay here was very relaxed and comfortable. The amenities are excellent. There's a place in the suites to sit down, chill and relax. The coffee making facilities are plentiful with 4 mugs and 4 cups and saucers per room. This is accompanied by wine glasses and tumblers, enough if you are receiving a visitor. The sitting room is cosy... More

The hotel is right on the edge of Lake Taupo (about 10m from the water's edge) with stunning views at sunset. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The Edgewater restaurant on the premises is exceptional and well worth a visit.

Beautiful spot. This is on the lake and rooms open out into the lakefront trail, with balconies or patios. Rooms are spacious, with great facilities. There was a good bar and the restaurant had good things said about it. Friendly staff. A short drive from town, free parking, perhaps 20 minutes or half hour walk. Have a look around for... More
