“Nestled in Wairakei Thermal Valley, the resort emphasizes outdoor activities and wellness, making it a family-friendly destination near Lake Taupo. The geothermally heated pools and spa facilities stand out, though some areas show signs of age. With a nine-hole golf course and extensive event spaces, it serves both leisure and business travelers, though some may find the value lacking without a price deal.”
