Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig und dementsprechend etwas ausserhalb von Taupo. Wir musste also rund 20 Minuten zu Fuss laufen, bis wir wirklich im Zentrum waren. Wer lieber kurze Wege bevorzugt und zu Fuss unterwegs sein will, kommt hier weniger auf seine Kosten. Leider fand ich in der Badewanne (Sprudelbad) bevor ich Wasser eingelassen habe Haare darin. Das war nicht so toll und sollte nicht passieren. Ansonsten war die Unterkunft sauber, aber extrem ringhörig! Für mich war das Bett eher zu weich. Aber das ist "geschmacksache"

Hello - Thank you for your feedback. We are the closest motel to the central town that provides thermal private pools. Town is a 5 minute taxi drive (approx NZ10) or a 15 - 20 minute walk along the lake front.
