Fabulous location and hospitality

Reviewed By paulapaullynch

We arrived late and had not booked anywhere and called into the Gables and they were ever so accommodating in finding us their last room left. The spa pool was the hottest best spa we have ever had in a motel before - and we had it all to ourselves. We got freshly baked cookies on arrival and our room was toasty warm, clean and comfortable.

Gorgeous stay in well appointed three room apartment

Reviewed By Knowles K

Highly recommend. Perfect for our large family of 7, especially as finding suitable accommodation for our size is not easy. Hilton Taupō was on point. Great service, beautiful pool and excellent gym that our teenagers enjoyed working out in. Also the restaurant high tea is highly recommended. Other than needing a few more oven trays, serving bowls (nit picking) I can not really fault it, even had washer and dryer in the apartment. Great 5 night stay and the views from our apartment were breathtaking.

Nice

Reviewed By 391lucindaj

We really liked this resort but something needs to be done pronto about the really tired carpets in some of the common areas. The hot oools were great, pity that no spa pools were operating. Staff were lovely as was the included breakfast, set us up well for the day ahead

Cabins need revamping

Reviewed By PatAuckland

The cabins are probably ok for young families but not very good for a romantic getaway. Mould around the bathroom sink, rotting floorboards in the bathroom, miniscule shower that leaked all over the bathroom, fridge that doesn't have a light inside, bed mattress in desparate need of being replaced (roll together in the middle, left me with terrible backache). The pools themselves were chockablock with people, too many to even attempt getting in so we had a private spa which was in need of a facelift too. This place has seen better days.

Great rooms, plenty of space and reasonably priced. We had a large group of 20 of us and weren't exactly quiet, but the hosts were great and happy to have us there. We had plenty of good undercover safe parking for our bikes as well. Its a wee way out of tiwn but nice if you dont want to be too close. Thanks again.
