Offering panoramic views of Lake Taupo, the luxurious self catering apartments at Baycrest Thermal Lodge feature free Wi-Fi and satellite TV. The shores of Lake Taupo are only 100 meters away.

Guests of the Baycrest Thermal Lodge Taupo can choose between ground floor apartments with an outdoor hot thermal plunge pool, or first floor apartments with a spa bath, balcony and Lake Taupo views.

We had a fantastic relaxing stay, the bed was huge and comfortable, the rooms were huge and so clean. The outdoor private mini thermal baths really sealed the deal for us, the photos do not do the property or these baths justice, it is absolutely fabulous and we found it very romantic - but families or lone travellers would also love it. It was a very central location and we were able to conveniently park and charge our car outside our flat for free. The reception lady was so helpful, she helped us find a compatible car charger as ours didnt seem to fit their outdoor sockets, nothing was a problem for her and her upbeat pleasant attitude started our stay off on the right foot. I truely can't believe this place was as cheap as it was, it's an absolute steal! I would 100% go back and my fiance agrees with me completely. It was one of the highlights of our North New Zealand road trip in terms of lodging.

Gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea are included and complimentary canapes with a glass of New Zealand wine or locally-brewed craft beer can be enjoyed with the Lodge hosts each evening. Relax by the fireplace in the shared lounge, or speak to your hosts about what to see or do in the local area.

Whakaipo Lodge was a superb place to stay in every way. The owners, Garth & Angie went beyond the call to make our stay memorable & easy to highly recommend from the welcome, to the pre dinner drinks & canapes, the sharing of local knowledge & the beautifully presented, comfortable rooms. The breakfast was 10/10 using locally sourced high quality products. The coffee also got a gold star.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The cabins were nice and tidy and quiet, didn't hear a peep from any other guests so felt nice and secluded. The water park was fun despite the renovations - the four year old had the time of her life! Living space was a good size for us. Close enough to town centre to explore everything. Staff were very friendly and it was nice having a discount at the waterpark because of all the work. Complementary milk was a nice touch too. Shower was nice, Hot and good pressure, and nice to have the airing rack for wet swimwear.

    Lovely location, family friendly. We ordered a cot for our 17 month old baby, and she slept well through the night. Our chalet was clean and tidy. Our family enjoyed the stay. Thank you to the receptionist who was very friendly throughout our stay. Can't wait to come back again.

    1. Big and clean kitchen and people who stay there are willing to clean up the dishes after they use them. 2. Wooden bed cabinet with a black curtain provide a little bit of privacy which is great, and the space is enough for a bed and a huge suitcase.

    The breakfast was the best part of our stay at Chalet Eiger. Nina cooked to order beautiful English breakfasts and provided fruit platters, cereal and yogurts of gourmet standard. The location was leafy and quiet with pretty views of Lake Taupo, too far to walk to town for restaurants but the Chalet offers free shuttle in.
