Oasis Beach Motel
Room clean, kitchen rather small for a family unit but the view of the lake more than made up for it!! Wish we could have stayed longer

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor
Overpriced and boring dinner menu. Quality so/so. Banana split $20 which was kid sized at best. Ok stay but wouldn’t eat there. $150 for two and def nothing special.
