Wairakei Resort Taupo
The room was very nice and great facilities, however the booking system for the tennis court and towels was contradictory, the signs said one thing but the staff said the opposite.

Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn
We had a quick overnight stay as we were travelling south. The room was clean and well appointed. Plenty of hot water and the location close to the Jolly Good Fellows restaurant and bar was perfect for dinner. The staff were very engaging yet gave us a level of privacy.
