A few minutes' walk from the beach, there is a natural hot spring with a pool. There is a kitchen but it is not available. The handsome guy at the front desk provides very good service. Parking is very convenient, and it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to drive to get Chinese food.

I was given a choice of 2 rooms one that stunk of cigarette smoke, had black mould around the window and had single glazing so very noisy OR 1 that had double glazed window but the bathroom was single glazed so given it's on the main road into Taupo this was very noisy. I had to then pay an additional 150 that I don't have to stay in a non smelly or noisy room.
