This is a family-run hotel in New Zealand, with a warm and tidy layout. It has one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and a kitchen. There is a large bed in the bedroom and a single bed in the living room. There are not many rooms, but all are very clean. The owner is very hospitable, providing bicycles for cycling, taking us to see the waterfall and sending us to the station after we checked out. The hotel is close to the lake, about a 5-minute walk, and about a 20-minute walk from the famous scenic spots. Highly recommended! Thank you, Tony. Hope to come to Taupo again next time!

The rooms looks exactly like the picture and is very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen had all the stuff I needed. I arrived quite early and as the room was ready already I was allowed to checkin, which was very nice. I could rent a mountain bike for free. The staff and the owner were super friendly and dropped me at the bus stop when i left, as the Uber didnt want to accept the ride. I would stay there again.

The room was acceptable for one night .staying any longer would not be comfortable. It was a very tight space. It may be a conversion of a garage or something.
