Top Whakamaru Hotel Reviews

Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

8/10 Good

"Like staying here, we had an issue with the hot water but the staff were great and helped sort the situation."

Lakefront Lodge Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for the price, clean, affordable, beautiful location, bar and restaurant is lovely and staff were great."

Beechtree Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The Beechtree was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Check in was a breeze and Bob was wonderful to deal with! Traveling as a family of 4 it was spacious enough that we were comfortable. The rooms were a good size and ours had a stove top, microwave, mini fridge and sink area with a good range of equipment if you were wanting to cook (which we didnt get to utilize). Across the road was a Four Square mini supermarket, butcher, café and Chinese takeaway so brilliant to have all that just a few steps away! I would definitely recommend the Beechtree and would stay again in a heartbeat!"

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

8/10 Good

"Cheap room, enjoyed the spas, heated pools and sauna. Disappointed with the wifi especially as I had my son with autism who uses his iPad to keep calm."

Lakeland Resort Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff great location"

The Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Heaps of space in the one-bedroom, all clean and tidy. Great facilities with the pool and tennis court! Handy parking and super easy walking distance to town. Lovely hosts!"

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Quite location."

Ika Nui Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed three nights, it was a perfect location and the room was clean and worked well for us. The only thing I would point out was that the pool cues in the games room had no ends on them and the pool balls were not all there, my kids and I enjoy playing on a pool table so were disappointed that we were unable to play. Other than that I recommend Ika Nui and will stay there again."

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, had everything we needed , beds were comfy very comfy , had all the amenities including air con and running hot water which catered to me and my family of 4. Very quiet and you even get views of Lake Taupo from the room . For the price we paid we got more than we bargained for 👏. Props to the house keepers whom work hard day in day out to get these rooms looking the way they do for guests. Only downside is when you’re going to the pools be mindful it’s A steep walk down and then back up once you are done swimming . That’s the biggest downfall with De Bretts , and run down."
