Wairakei Resort Taupo

Wairakei Resort is a good comfortable hotel. The room was a good size fitting 2 double beds with a nice balcony overlooking the gardens. The hotel has some good fitness facilities and a fab 20M lap pool that is heated geothermally and is like a warm bath. The Hotel was quiet even though busy for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. We liked that the hotel was away from downtown Taupo about 10 minutes in the car.

The room we had was perfect for my husband who is in a wheelchair most of the time, easy to shower him and staff were so great. Room is nice and spacious. We really enjoyed it. Husband had a stroke 18months ago and it was the first time we had been away and we weren't sure if it was going to be ok. But it was great there and we will definitely be back. Thankyou.

I enjoyed the amenities and being able yo wonder the grounds as the resort is quite abundant in outdoor space, we enjoyed our time there. The man running the bar was lovely and friendly very inviting. Very grateful for the opprtunity to have a later check out and loved that the pools were geothermal which is what Taupo is good for.

It was spacious and well maintained for being an older property. We loved that it was so close to a lot of major Taupo attractions like the Huka Falls and Craters of the Moon.

We are a disabilities whānau. The accessibility room was top grade. Spacious enough to move a wheelchair without knocking into or having to move furniture. The bathroom facility is the best we've encountered of all the Motels - Wairakei was the fourth we stayed at on our roadtrip. The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived from reception to the young man who asked to assist with our bags to the resturant staff. We'll be back and we'll recommend to all.
