Hot Springs Hotels in Waikato, New Zealand

The room was spacious and had a balcony with a view of Lake Taupo. It was very clean, and housekeeping did an excellent job. There's a large parking lot below the hotel, making parking convenient. The path from the parking lot to the hotel is also well-lit. However, some rooms were undergoing renovations, and it was quite noisy in the mornings. This could be disruptive if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. Taupo is located in an earthquake zone, and we experienced a small tremor during our stay. It wasn't major, but it was a bit startling. It's good to be aware of this if you're planning a trip to Taupo; apparently, small earthquakes happen several times a year and are quite normal.

Facilities: We stayed in a stand-alone cabin, which was fully equipped with a private bathroom, induction cooktop, oven, etc., but it was a bit dated. Hygiene: The hygiene was just so-so, and there was a strong cooking smell in the room. Environment: There's a communal kitchen, shared bathrooms, and a paid hot spring center (guests get a discount). Service: We didn't really use any services; late arrivals check themselves in.

It's like a giant campsite community. It sucks there is little accommodation at hot water beach but the location is like a 10 min walk to the beach which is nice. I was in a small hut that had 4 twin mattresses (2 bunk beds). There were spiders and bugs up in the corners and of course I was top bunk. The mattress was also shot, a curvature body shape in the middle. The showers and toilets were clean and easy to access/use. The wifi is annoying as the password changes daily and of course you cant use it when you wake up the next day. Bonus there was a friendly cat walking around I was petting. I wish they had more cabins with just a bed and kitchenette to book.

We had a night here to recharge and the hotel and hot pools really delivered. The hotel is immaculately clean, and while it is a little dated, as you would expect being a historic hotel, we were really comfortable - beds were good, we slept well and it was quiet. The hot pools are a hidden gem that really blew us away, we had them largely to ourselves and we soaked our fatigue and sore muscles away, in lush bush surroundings, with the sound of the waterfall in the background, native birdsong and the sounds of summer cicadas. We'll be back.

A good first stop over for our campervan trip as it is 1hr away from auckland airport. We checked in after opening hours (they close pretty early) but we could easily find our way and the check in instructions were clear and easy. Plenty of flies attracted to light at the campsite. Our camper was filled with flies and spent a long time chasing them away. So do be careful when turning on the lights when moving in and out of the camper.

Был большой номер с огромной кроватью, а главное - купель с минеральной водой прямо в номере. Интерьер специфический, но все чисто.
