Wairakei Wairakei International Golf Course Hotels

"Very dated and slow check in process"

"Very handy with lake across the road and main shopping centre is a 10 minute walk."

"Clean and tidy and convenient location. Only downside was the housekeeping was not done. "

"3rd stay in a Quest serviced appartment. Not as good as previous. A bit tired and as clean and tidy as previous quest stays. A bit dissappointed."

"A no frills, but comfortable and quality stay in a safe area for a very favorable price. "

"Staff were terrible, room was so noisy from the pool lines running under the room. Sounded like bubbling pipes. Called reception and after some convincing they changed our room, which wasn’t much better. They said we’d have to wait for the manager to bring us some keys for the room. That never happend, no we had no keys and couldn’t lock or unlock our room. The rooms havnt been updated since it was built in the 60s Rooms are out dated and uncomfortable, and are sprayed with far too much air freshener. Your money is better spent elsewhere. "

"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."
