Hotels near Wairakei Thermal Valley in Wairakei

It was a perfect little house in a little community (hotel/resort community). It was so picturesque. The only problems were the plug in the bathroom didn’t work so the bathroom was pretty cold to begin with, and the air conditioning unit/heater in the living room took ages to produce hot air and was complicated to understand; if it took the lady to come down and help us with it, I believe it really should’ve had a clear explanation printed out with it. The people their were really nice and helpful (super helpful in fact when I needed their help for something I had lost) for any of these things and more. I would just say that those couple of things that went wrong really could’ve been prevented by doing a quick check before had and having some instructions for perhaps complicated things like the air conditioning unit.

We enjoyed our stay at Wairaki resorts, especially the swimming in the huge inviting pools heated thermally. One can take a short walk from the lower pool along a steaming hot creek that feeds the pools. Don't miss it. Our room was plainly furnished but very comfortable and well laid out. Fine sleeping in this quiet peaceful setting with only a lovely array of bird calls. The menu was a bit limited, but the meals were very good, and we particularly enjoyed the excellent and extensive breakfast buffet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One can rent bikes, and I loved my hilly ride to a marvelous waterfall while my husband golfed at the beautifully laid out course next door.

Enjoyed the quietness and cleanliness of the environment, rooms were spacious, easy access to pool/spa, town and lake. We personally wouldn’t stay again. Found both beds and pull out couch beds uncomfortable glad to be home in my own bed as we all had little to no sleep. Didn’t have enough sheets and towels and no disability parks made things difficult not just for us but the disabled man in next room who we heard complaining to his wife about it. Master bed sat right under windows/curtains so sun woke me up at 5 and was a draft on my head. Wasnt horrible but wasn’t our cup of tea.

It’s ok, but the only single-storey room is arranged. This is the second booking, because I was staying on the upper and lower floors before I felt good and I would continue to choose this one. After reacting with the store, I still wouldn’t change it. Happy

Really decent motel accommodation. Rooms are really spacious and tasteful. Guy at reception was really friendly. Room had a Spa Bath, Sky TV and a decent Kitchenette. There was also a small outdoor patio which is quite private. A few small gripes. The Bed was dreadful. So uncomfortable. This might be a matter of opinion, but there are a few proceeding reviews which also mention this. The water pressure is poor. Takes 25mins to fill the Spa Bath. Shower is also pretty poor. There are car parks outside the units, but the allocated one to your unit, may not necessarily be the one directly outside of it. Mine was tucked around the corner, where the car park directly outside my unit was occupied by a family who made a heck of a lot of noise loading their car and kids from 5am-5.30am. Not ideal at all. Also note the car park area is pretty tight. All in all a decent stay here at Ascot Taupo. Got a really really decent last minute price, which meant the little niggles were not that dramatic. Certainly if the price was higher, I would take it all into consideration.

The hotel is located on a hillside, not far from the center of Taupo and close to the airport. The room is clean, but a little small. There is a heating pipe in the bathroom where you can dry your laundry. Overall, I am satisfied. There is a small balcony with a table where you can eat outdoors.

Very good Motel, although the room is not big, but everything is complete, the facilities are beyond my expectation, the boss is a young foreigner couple, almost an hour in advance, the whole check-in and check-out are very easy and pleasant, may stay next time!

The hotel is not near the town center. not much facilities provided . it will be little difficult for old folks since there is no elevator provided. we have to carry three big luggage big to second floor.

Was travelling in New Zealand when I was forced to isolate and this location after contracting Covid (it's still out there folks!). Francis & Grant the managers ... in fact the entire team ... took my predicament in their stride, were sympathetic and helpful. My apartment was spacious and confortable with everything I need for the isolation period. Lovely location on the front at Taupo although it's still a fair walk to the centre (there is a pub / restaurant next door that alas I could not try!). Nice looking pool and Spa. I recommend going for a first floor apartment if you can so that your views are not obscured by parked cars, though be prepared to carry cases etc steps. Grounds well-kept with a nice area for a bbq. Very impressed - would not hesitate to stay again!

We spent one night here. Room was large, clean and adequate for our needs. The design of the room / bath is a bit different..might say contemporary. It was quiet. Parking is limited near rooms but plenty of spaces in back of one building. There was a small kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee/tea fixings and toaster, dishes, etc., large jacuzzi tub (didn’t use) and separate shower. Our room didn’t have extra toilet tissue, the roll on the holder was a bit 1/3 full, which is fine, but needed an extra. No breakfast available, but you can make your own if you have items. We made toast and coffee in our unit.
