Boasting a terrace and room service, Hare's Rest is attractively set in Taupo, 31 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park and 31 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley. This lodge has a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking.

Honestly, this is the best booking I've ever experienced. Comes with access to 8 acres of land, homemade bread & cookies, and fresh eggs. The room is lovely and Allie was really nice to introduce us to her sheep and chicken.

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.

    The lodge is so well set up with everything that you could need for a most comfortable stay. Our room was lovely and quiet with a view to Lake Taupo from the balcony. Rob and Karen were so helpful in giving us local guidance about activities and places to eat. The breakfast was delicious.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at Lake Vista Lodge in Taupo, hosted by Craig and Lisa. I couldn't recommend it more! The view from the lodge is absolutely amazing, and the hospitality provided by Craig and Lisa was exceptional. The location is convenient to town and all activities, making it an ideal choice for anyone visiting Taupo.

    The Lodge is in a great location and we had a room with a beautiful view over the lake. We also enjoyed time in the property's private hot pool. The staff / owners were all very friendly and welcoming and we'll definitely be staying there again.

    The Silver Fern Lodge exceeded our expectations! We booked the Superior Room for two people and it was clean, very comfortable, and well equipped (with complementary tea/coffee). The room also had it's own TV and air conditioner. Great value for money considering what we paid. The lodge staff were super friendly and accommodated our laundry during their normal laundry operating hours. Not far from the main Taupo town. Would definitely stay here again. :)
