Fairly noisey at 7am when trying to still sleep. Had arranged a late checkout but so many were checking out early & had no consideration for others still sleeping. Our room was tiny but comfy bed & pillows which usually aren’t the case & great views from elevated restaurant. Neat place overall & very affordable.

Good little place to stay if you are in Taupo. I made the mistake of booking a bunk room but it was still fine. Quite small rooms but I was only there for a night and on my own so it was fine.

Decent accommodation on a budget.
I choose to stay here because of the EV charging facilities. Unfortunately everytime I have visited, there is a ICE vehicle parked in at least one of the two parks. The Honda likely belongs to a staff member. Lodge was great for what it was (an overnight rest). Was annoyed that the amenities list laundry facilities available when they aren't. Only laundry on site is for their own towels and sheets etc.

Location is superb. Room is clean however seems like walls are not sound proof. You can hear next door’s water tank when used, people walking in the hallway too loud.
