Silver Fern Lodge

Great location and clean

We had a terrible experience with Silver Fern Lodge Taupō. The property is noticeably run‑down, and the room we were given was not in a condition suitable for guests, particularly at $240 per night. We chose to leave the same afternoon and are still working through the refund process. The “Guest Lounge” was closed, with a paper sign indicating it was being used as a dorm and “for special guests only,” which contributed to an overall impression more in line with a budget hostel than a motel. The general presentation, maintenance, and cleanliness of the property — both inside and out — were well below an acceptable standard. We relocated to Wairakei Resort Taupō for $280 per night and found it to be excellent. Based on this experience, we do not intend to stay at a VR Hotels property again.

We enjoyed the large common kitchens, close to everything, reception and house people particularly saurabh were excellent and gave us a of useful information

Spacious rooms with a separate washroom which are ideally for family staying but the overall hygienic in shared kitchen required to be paid attention.

stay was good, staff was also friendly, location was good. however, their clearning and room service is after every 3 days which i think should be every day.

The room is clean and spacious. The bathroom was clean and the shower place was clean too!

Great location—right in the city, convenient for getting around, with everything you need nearby. The room was spacious and stayed warm during winter. Towels, full bathroom amenities, plus tea and milk were provided.

Nice and quiet and a massive kitchen for the non serviced rooms
