    confusing bbq rules
    slow service

    We had a nice clean room and loved the heated pool! But the confusing BBQ rules were a bit annoying, and service could've been quicker.

    worn hallway carpet

    Relaxing family getaway

    Spent 4 nights and loved the heated pools, perfect for late-night dips. Our room was comfy and spacious. The kids had fun at the thermal pools too. One morning, we grabbed a picnic table outside to enjoy breakfast while soaking in the views. Just wish the carpet in the hallways wasn't so worn out.

    local dining options

    Consider exploring nearby dining options, as some local cafes serve breakfast at half the price and with a more extensive menu than what's offered at the resort.

    spacious room
    attentive staff
    pleasant experience
    limited menu
    service delays
    dinner disappointment

    The spacious room overlooked a lawn and hot pool, making it a pleasant place to relax. The staff were polite and attentive, particularly the barman who added a personal touch to our experience. we faced delays in service during dinner, and the menu felt a bit limited. It's a great choice for families looking for a blend of relaxation and activities.

    thermal pools
    welcoming staff
    spacious grounds
    closed facilities

    The Wairakei offers an impressive array of amenities including golf, tennis, and thermal swimming pools that provide both relaxation and recreation. The spacious grounds allow for leisurely walks, and the old-style luxury atmosphere adds to its allure. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive throughout my stay, making the experience enjoyable. Compared to other lodging options in Taupo, the pricing is quite reasonable considering the quality of the resort.

    Some facilities were temporarily closed.

    outdoor swimming pool
    24-hour reception

    This place suits me perfectly with its 24-hour reception, outdoor swimming pool, and fitness centre. I remember the staff helped return my forgotten shower bag on my first visit. I highly recommend it for a relaxing stay. I'll be back for a business trip.

    Recommend it for family with kids

    Big, soft bed made it super comfy for the family. and the spa bath? Just amazing! ! Took the boys swimming, and that large pool? Perfect temp, we could swim in the rain!

    spacious family room
    delicious food
    beautiful grounds
    cleanliness issue

    The resort has beautiful grounds, perfect for our family and dog. We loved the spacious family room that accommodated us all comfortably. Dining was a delight, especially the prompt room service with delicious food enjoyed while listening to the sounds of nature.

    My wife says that cleanliness could be improved.

    small room

    Perfect spot for a chill getaway

    Had a fab time here! The heated pools are open late, which was awesome after a long day. The views from our room were unbeatable, and the restaurant offered a solid range of menu options. Just wish the rooms were a bit roomier. But overall, it was a really nice stay!
