There is a huge jacuzzi tub in the room (and a small shower) with bubblebath supplied. The water comes from a geothermal bore. Lake Taupo is the caldera of the biggest and most destructive volcanic eruption in the last 70,000 years and there is still plenty of heat available :) We did have a sideways view of the Lake but...

Our friends stayed in Unit 3 which we... More

Great place to get the best view of the lake and the snow capped Tongariro in the backgroung. It is right in front of the hot water beach, and far enough away from the road to be quiet. It has everything you need and the in room spa is very relaxing. Room 5 has the best views More

We had a corner room at the Clearwater which afforded us an... More

We were greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our studio by Priscilla. Was a very relaxing weekend. Lovely warm and clean. We will visit again. Thank you More
