A high quality quiet modern hotel within walking distance of the busy, noisy centre. Views from the bar/restaurant overlooking the lake are breathtaking. The bedroom was impeccably clean and comfortable. The best of all, however, are the staff who couldn’t help enough (thank you again Julia for working so hard to sort out our booking platform problem). We travel extensively and for us to recommend a hotel so highly is an exception.

We stayed here for 2 nights in the luxury studio. We had stunning views out to the lake, great to enjoy from the balcony. Room was well equipped and had plenty of space. There was a regular pool and also a geo-thermally heated pool which was really relaxing and amazingly hot!! Hosts were really friendly and helpful with advising on activities to do whilst we were there. (would defientley recommend a kayak trip to see the mauri carvings). It is quite a walk down to the main part of Taupo - would...

We stayed in the Rees for our last 2 nights in NZ, after a 3-week holiday touring the country, and enjoyed our time there. This was the only 5-star hotel we visited in during the holiday, and the lake view room was fantastic with good views from the balcony. Room and facilities was excellent, all staff (from reception to house keeping) very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant has received excellent reviews but I was surprised it was not larger or more lively. I think that many guests...

The apartment has a very high spec. It is modern, well equipped, comfortable and in a great location just a few mi utes walk from the village centre. It has an easy access, no key, code system that avoids the need to have multiple keys for all family members. My only complaint was that I had to call them to check how I got access to the property given there are no staff on site. They said they were glad I called because my international phone number meant they had been unable to contact me. What...
