“In my opinion, this property stands out for its coveted location on Lake Taupo, steps from the water, as well as the popular Edgewater Restaurant. I think it's smart that the hotel offers multiple room configurations, fitting families and couples alike. While some rooms face the pool, many accommodations benefit from unobstructed lake views.”
