    The room was very spacious, well stocked, clean and quiet. Dinner in the restaurant was a highlight; great food, very courteous and helpful staff. Breakfast too was very good. Plenty of variety in the buffet.

    The spa pool is great to ease aching legs after a long walk. The view is beautiful, right on the lake. Our 1 bed apartment was spacious and our daughter loved the beanbags. Would recommend dinner at Dixie Browns in the town centre.

    Right down on the waterfront. Our unit was described as “inner courtyard view” but we did have a bit of a view of the lake as well. Friendly welcome at reception. The units are well-designed and presented (inc towel sculpture!) Excellent shower, very comfortable bed, parking right outside and a well equipped kitchenette. What more could you want? It was very quiet at night and there were free laundry facilities. And a friendly cat.

    Very well equipped unit! Nice walking distance to both downtown Taupo and my uncle's home. Being by the lake with a view was a bonus! The managers were really friendly and had several good tips for breakfast and dinner spots in town. We were so happy with the free laundry, especially after a muddy few days in the Tongariro National Park. We would definitely choose Sails on a next visit to Taupo.

    The hostel a cute inner courtyard where you can hang out in hammocks or pet the hostels friendly dog. This creates a really chill vibe. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at ease immediately. And curtains for every bunk make sure you get your private space even in dorms.

    Great location, not far from the lake front, an easy walk to it for sure. No noise from the rest of the house, which made it feel like we were alone, rather than staying in someone's guest house. Bathroom was well stocked, towels, soaps etc. Clean and well presented. TV was good, well positioned.
