Stay away
Terrible place! The place is not what it looks like in the photos. The photos must be 10years old. The place is run down. A backpackers would be a better option. There was old blood stains on the bedding and the mattress. The carpet have not seen a vacuum or a clean in a very long time.

An amazing hidden gem
From 1st appearance you may think you arrived in 19th century wild west but step in the room and its comfort city. Looks and feels like its newly refurbished. Has pool, 5 min walk to free hot pool, smart tv, polite owners and tranquil grounds. As a hotels.com gold member, this is well worth a stay. True hidden gem.

Pet friendly
The place is fairly run down, but I understand new owners have just taken over. The reason we booked here is because it is pet friendly. A lot of motels in Taupo are not. We were only there to sleep, so on the whole the experience was not too bad. The place does some potential to be tidied up.

Parklike setting 3 mins from Taupo Lake. Great bed, clean linen and water pressure. Quiet setting. Sadly my superior chalet was unmaintained for 70 years. Curtain rails detached, unwashed cups in cupboard and floor unswept. Things just seemed grimy. Tried to cancel on arrival. I suggested they accurately describe property - there was nothing superior here. Thanks for partial refund given.

This place obviously used to be amazing in its hey day. However the buildings and surrounds are dilapidated and in need of repair. We had an end unit, two beds upstairs and a double downstairs at the back. My son slept on a rollaway bed. Sheets were clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was average. Toilet and basins were clean and functional. No towel rail. Shower had no plug and looked gross. Only my daughter used it once. Spa bath was a nice addition although in the freezing back room, however was happy to have a bath rather than use the shower. Kitchen was basic but clean. Overall we got what we paid for. Nothing fancy. Not super clean. Old and tired facilities. Staff Were friendly and helpful. Also gun range could be heard from there which was annoying.

The room was clean and we added another person to stay which was kind of the hotel. They had all the necessities and it was quiet where we were to. The outside needs upgrading in my opinion, but overall it was an awesome stay. One thing i think needs looking at is paying at the property. When I booked it said I could pay at the property, when I got there as I wanted to pay in cash the person at the counter said it was already charged to my bank acct. I thought that was odd sure enough it had been taken out of my card that day. Just lucky I had money in my card.

Easy check in with friendly staff. Loved the fact they had put the heater on before we arrived. Other guests respected the noise regulation so we had an undisturbed night. Very good value, we didn’t expect an ultra modern set up. Everything we needed.

2/10 Poor

Booking and check in was straight forward and easy. Room was warm when we arrived which was good. Beds were made well. Towels and bedding clean. But unfortunately it goes down hill from there. Walls were dirty, doors dirty, sofa was dirty, used soap from previous guest in shower, previous guests hair in bathroom vanity/ draws, spa had a poo smell when using the jets/ bubbles, jug for a coffee and plug in heater didn’t work. A power point switch was not working and unsafe to use dusty on surface's and inside cupboards which holds cutlery, no flannels to wash your face. No extra blankets if you get chilly in the night. Good unit with plenty of potential but needs a bloody good clean.

If you looking for a Thermal Spa Resort- this is not that. If you looking for a cabin in the woods, and a bed to sleep this is your place. The Hotel is very run down, and falling apart. They have tried to make it nice by painting etc but overall, very old and well used. For this type of money, you are better to stay at the campgrounds down the road.

A bit of NZ history and must have been a ‘Grandeur’ in its day so I hope it’s restored! Good price, perhaps reflecting its quaintness! Great for accessing the bike tracks and free hot pools.

First thing that sprung to mind as we drove down towards the "Grandeur" was the movie The Hills have Eyes ...... Such a shame as it was probably once a very beautiful place. Pulled up to our Chalet and the 1st thing we noticed was the smell of urine. All windows were open so clearly the so called cleaner was aware of this issue. Within 10 mins we found the source of the smell behind the fridge. Seriously. Someone had pissed there!! After calling the manager a cleaner was sent over staright away and the mess was cleaned. Thankfully when we got back from the possum night run the smell had pretty much gone. Overall the chalet suited our needs, but it really needs a make over - a decent clean on the outside and some paint. And maybe some new cleaners.
