We stayed in the one bedroom apartment which was huge, big bathroom and lounge with nice double doors opening to a patio. Very safe and welcoming if you have children. Kitchen had everything we needed and there are BBQs to use if you want to self-cater for dinner. I don't think you would find much better value for money than... More

My husband and I stayed here as we booked it through wotif at a very good rate with cooked breakfast.The lady at the office was very welcoming and breakfast was great.Very clean rooms but the grounds need a good spruce up. Thank you we enjoyed our stay and lovely walk along the lake.

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights over the Easter break (28 Mar- 1 Apr). We stayed in a "one room apartment" which my wife understood to be a "one bedroom apartment" when she made the booking online. When we arrived we discovered that it was as described, a one room apartment, with a bathroom. However, it was... More

My husband and I stayed there last Tuesday 12th March, the lady at Reception was very welcoming and friendly. The apartment situated opposite the pool was great in size, clean, had everything needed for our stay including the internet. Was nice to be able to eat our tea just outside our room on the table and chairs provided outside our... More

We stayed 2 nights (a group of 3 families with children) while the Taupo Iron Man event was on. We found Anchorage a perfect venue for us as the kids were happy swimming or playing on the decks and trampoline, and it was a great BBQ setting just outside our units. Great view of the runners coming past on the... More

Sadly we found our 2 bedroom apartment to be very run down and out dated. The blinds in the room was damaged and did not close properly. The shower curtain was not hung properly. Furniture was very worn. Outside the balcony was very dirty cobwebs everywhere, an airconditioning unit leaking water everywhere which made it slippery and dangerous. Steps and... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights (one night longer than intended) Jess, she was the perfect host, advised us on things to do, honestly too, i might add! ;) Rooms are perfect for what you need, cleaned daily.

We had the misfortune to stay here when there was some sort of boy racer weekend on in Taupo and there they all were - at this motel. The first night they partied around the pool until 10pm so that meant others had little opportunity to enjoy that facility. There was no guarantee that as a paying customer you would... More

We stayed in a two-bedroom poolside unit for three nights (2 adults and 2 children). Although surrounded by other units (and the resort was full the entire three days that we stayed there), it was mainly quiet and peaceful. Comfy and clean..fairly spacious and appointed with nice furniture, although the kitchen could have used a facelift (new appliances and wares... More
