Whareroa Village Hotels, Kuratau

"Great stay,nice clean room. Restaurant and bar with great staff. Would stay again."

"Clean room, very friendly staff. Cannot comment on nearby shops except for a Burger King nearby, since having a very short stay."

"I had booked a cabin without an ensuite and used the communal shower very early in the morning to avoid the rush from campers. It was still pitch black when I returned to what I thought was my cabin, where I had left the lights off but locked the door. I put my key in the lock, turned it to open and entered the cabin. I was closing the door to lock it, still in the dark, which in hindsight was just plain stupid, when someone yelled out and turned on the lights. A man was sitting up in the bed looking as startled as I felt. I had mistakenly returned to an adjacent cabin in the dark and my key had fit and turned in the lock, apparently unlocking the door, though I can't confirm that it was actually locked. Luckily, it was obvious I wasn't an intentional intruder as I profusely apologized and left. If the keys are not, in fact, dedicated to individual cabins that would be entirely unacceptable and represent a serious security risk. I am thankful the cabin had not been occupied by a woman, an aggressive person or someone with a weapon!"

"The lodge was absolutely gorgeous and was exquisitely appointed with beautiful landscaped grounds overlooking Lake Taupo. Our hosts, Gary and Shirley, paid great personal attention to every detail, from showing us all the the features of our room, to ensuring all of our dinner reservations were arranged properly. The afternoon hor d'oeuvres and wine and morning breakfasts were also delicious."

"Couldn't of wished for anything better, walked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing , would of been nice to have a hot tub., only joking. Everything was fantastic. Thanks very much."

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"

"Clean and functional, home away from home"

"Being in a dome was unique. It was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Nice to be right on the lake. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean."

"Beautiful view, great apartment. Very disappointing that the restaurant was closed for our stay as the dining options elsewhere are extremely limited. It would have been fair to have warned us in advance."
