We stopped for two nights recently on our way home from the Hawkes Bay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rooms are spacious and pristinely clean and presented. They always supply quality bathroom products. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at their restaurant, and chose from their impressive selection of good quality wines. This is not the first time we've stayed at... More

We stayed there for three nights. Very happy in the old wing, a huge room, and an equally huge bathroom. Loved the beds, loved the view, loved everything. A minor omission by housekeeping was rectified promptly (there was only products for one person the first night, and only one chocolate on the turn down). We will be back! More

The Hilton Taupo was a place me and my partner went for a bit of a getaway just after our wedding. The place is stunning and very relaxing as it is tucked up a hill over looking the lake and away from all the hustle and bustle. The service was second to none and will bend over backwards to make...

Stayed with my family 2adults 2 children on the 12th and 13th of January. We stayed in an interconnecting room facing the valley. I had read previous reviews that this was an ugly view I disagree. The view is still great however the further east you go on the building then you will get closer to an industrial building. The... More

Good hotel, but a bit out of town (not walking distance), which made it attractive to us as quieter and more relaxing. We had a large room, although there wasn't a lot of places to put clothes. Nice bath, with big tub, separate shower, dual sinks, heated towel rack. Ask for an upper floor with a Lake view -- view... More
