“The lakeside setting initially promises a tranquil escape, yet some accounts suggest a noticeable gap between expectations and the actual experience, especially regarding room upkeep. While convenient to Taupo's attractions, the dated facilities and limited dining options could impact the overall stay. I think it's worth considering alternatives if a modern, fully-equipped resort experience is a priority.”
