Hot Springs Hotels in Waikato, New Zealand

A hotel I absolutely adore, perfect for a vacation. The three-bedroom apartment features 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 2 bathrooms, with one en-suite bedroom. The living room has large balconies on both sides; one faces Lake Taupo directly, while the other overlooks the hotel's thermal pool. Restaurant: The buffet breakfast includes a buffet spread and a la carte main courses. The buffet selection itself is already very rich.

The pool facilities were great lots of options to choose from for swimming. The room was very basic which was fine, however the ”king” bed in the room was 2 single beds moved together so more like a double/queen. As a family booking with 1 bed we expected it to be a bit bigger. There was a half eaten packet of donuts left in our fridge and the microwave still had food splatter in it when we went to use it. We had booked for 3 pax and were only given towels for 2 people so would advise to take your own. The tv also get dropping out of signal which was also annoying. We would consider coming back again but look into an extra bed next time. For the price we paid it was reasonable, I wouldnt want to pay more for the same room.

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.

I stayed here with my mum and brother in a kitchen cabin. The cabin itself was quite basic and very small – fine for one night, but it would feel too cramped for a longer stay. That said, the campsite itself is lovely and the swimming pools were an absolute highlight. We really loved them and would happily stay here again just for the pools alone. Next time, I’d definitely upgrade the accommodation to something more spacious. An on-site café would also be a great addition and would really enhance the overall experience.

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.
