Top Tauhara Hotel Reviews

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"10/10"

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"The basic cabin was exactly what the name suggests: a basic space that fitted a bunk bed and single bed, a small table, small fridge, and enough floor space for your bag. Better than sleeping in a tent. But definitely not flash. Ours was joined to another room with just a locked door and very thin walls between us (we could easily hear everything the people in the adjoining room said) and we found the mattresses very thin and uncomfortable. But we were warm and dry."

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property suited our needs perfectly for a brief stopover travelling with our dog. The check in was friendly. The chalet spacious & clean & had been thoughtfully warmed for our early evening arrival on a cold, wet day. The property offers excellent value & simple in room amenities. It is a bit worn & dated but with a very comfortable bed, refurbished bathroom & cosy heatpump we were more than happy. We Would happily stay again!"

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

8/10 Good

"Great family option just a short drive from the town centre, easy access to Huka Falls and Craters of the moon. The main pool is hot, approx 36 degrees so ideal for early morning and late evening dips rather then only during busy day time periods with family's Buffet is average but only charged per adult head so if traveling with multiple kids, value for money."
