Wairakei Resort Taupo

Our kids loved the spa pools and the two heated pools, so relaxing and warm. My favourite place was the sauna and hubby loved that he could watch the All Blacks game in the room (Sky). We made good use of the basketball and tennis courts before we left. Loads of parking space here. Didn't get to use the restaurant & bar this time as we ventured into town for the Winter Festival but it looks great as does the menu. This is the perfect place for families.

We absolutely loved staying here for our 2 nights. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in the twin room which was a generous size for two adults and two teenagers (they had to share a bed🤭) The bathroom had complimentary toiletries and the beds were very comfy. The food was amazing at the Resorts Geyser Restaurant. It has amenities for everyone, it was a shame it rained so we didn't get to use the courts. It was also a great location and only a short drive to the town center. We would definitely stay again!! Thank you 😊

Clean, well maintained.This resort is 10-12 minute drive to prevent get into town. That's fine for those who on pop wish to make this their landing base. But, uiure not near the beautiful Lake Taupo, downtown activities or anyplace that serves good food. There is a restaurant at Wairakei Resort. Tho, their restaurant food is very mediocre and extremely overpriced. The room was small, you won't be laying your suitcase flat anywhere cuz there's zero floor space. The teeny fridge doesn't even have a freezer compartment snd I needed that to refreeze ice gor medication travel. The tiny patios were dirty floors and a covered with dirt glass table and 2 plastic chairs.

Great family spot. Facilities were great, and there were lots of activities for the kids to get busy with. The location is great, just 10 minutes from Taupo city centre and 4 minutes from Huka Falls. The staff were amazing and always ready to help. They also have electric charging spots on the property, and we were able to charge our vehicle for free for our entire 3nights' stay. It was so perfect for a stress free time away, kids of all ages will find something to entertain them. We will definitely visit again soon.

Booking.com made an error with our accommodation and charged us for two rooms but when we reached we were informed by Resort that there were no such rooms available. We paid $over $800 for two nights for just one bed for 4 of us. Omkar the manager assisted us by fixing the error booking.com had made. He made sure we got the joint room to accommodate our family of 4. Booking.com should be notified not to advertise false information in this instance.
