Wairakei Craters of the Moon Hotels

"Great location "

"Room was clean, didn't use the aircon, tried the iron in the room, however it had some sticky residue on it, therefore not useable as it would have stuck to the item I was trying to iron."

"Shops neaby"

"Conveniently placed to town and right on lake front. My room was looking a little tired and the shower tray needs a good clean around the edges"

"Unfortunately there was mold around the windows and frames and my friend has breathing problems when mold is present so she struggled with her breathing through the night. Quiet place to stay. "

" There are no plates or bowls spoons or knives. the TV did not work when we arrived the shower curtain is far too small and short Consequently the water goes everywhere. the apartment needs to be decorating. It looked old and well used."

"Was a quiet place to stay. Bed was comfortable and room was tidy. "

"The location right on the lake is excellent and makes it very easy to get around Taupō on foot. You can walk into town, along the lakefront, and to restaurants without needing the car, which was a big plus. The hotel itself is quite faceless, but that’s probably expected as it mainly operates as a conference venue. The rooms were fine — nothing special — but they were clean and tidy, which is what really matters. If you look a bit closer, parts of the exterior feel slightly run down and could probably do with some attention. One thing that stood out was the lack of visible recycling or sustainability efforts. For a place like Taupō, which promotes a clean, green, nature-focused image this felt disappointing. The attached restaurant was okay, but again nothing particularly memorable. We found it better to walk into town and eat at the smaller independent restaurants, which had tastier food and more character. Overall a convenient place to stay, mainly because of the location, but fairly average in most other respects."

"Great stay and a good location for us. A couple of small things would have made it perfect: more coffee cups (4 is not enough for 8 people) and some dishwash liquid for items that can’t go in the dishwasher."
