What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

  • I would not usually consider a garden a must-see experience, but I am really glad a local told us to visit Hamilton Gardens. The experience of wandering through a maze of hedges that open into perfectly cultivated gardens plucked complete from other countries and other eras was quite possibly the closest I will ever come to feeling like Alice in Wonderland come to life. You never know what magical sight waits around the next bend in the path.

Nice place a few things to work on with cleanliness, when we walked into our room there was rubbish on the floor from previous guests, the ceeling is all pealing and needs fixing, the bottom of the shower needed a scrub as it has buildup of grime, the air con units were leaking outside and the room uboves airco leaked and deipped down off the balcony constantly. The pool and spa both needed to be cleaned as had dirt at the bottom in both(so did not use). The neighbours next to us had a dog in the room (policy states no animals) that barked in the night and kept us awake. Over all an average stay.
