    We got a room with a spa bathtub. The beds with electric blankets were comfy. The location was amazing, 0.5 miles to Taupo airport, perfectly reachable. The stuff was helpful and supper friendly when needed.

    Just through the gate and on the lakefront. Hosts very friendly and hospitable. Love the hot tubs in the room. The room was quite large with an absolutely GORGEOUS view of the lake. Lovely little hot stream into the lake right outside our room. Air conditioning appreciated during the heatwave. In-room spa was divine. Great location, close to amazing restaurants. Lakeside running track right outside.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The room was well-designed and new-fashioned right on the water and the overall experience was lovely. The facilities were excellent. The location was favourable and incredible for me, to the shops or restaurants of Taupo.

    We have stayed at Clearwater many times over many years and it's always our motel of choice. We love the spa bath in the room and the dound of waves from the lakefront at night. Great place to stay.

    We had a fantastic Christmas stay at a lakeside hotel in Taupo. The location was perfect, with stunning views of the lake and mountains from our top floor balcony. The room was clean and well-presented, with comfortable beds and pillows. The highlight of our stay was the large hot tub overlooking the lake, which was a real treat. We also enjoyed the proximity to Huka Falls, restaurants, cafes, and shops. It was a romantic and tranquil atmosphere, and we can't wait to return.

    The lack of privacy in our ground floor room. With a public path so close to our door, we felt exposed to passersby during the day.

    The location was fabulous and the room over looking the lake was outstanding.I was very impressed with the Management and staff,all friendly and very helpful.It was easy to find and nice and close to town

    Nothing.I thought the entire experience was first rate.

    The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the lake. The room was spacious and had a hot stream right outside, perfect for relaxing swims and picnics. The in-room spa was a highlight, offering a large, comfortable space to unwind. The staff were helpful and even assisted in returning an item we had left behind. The warm floor and good WiFi were additional perks.

    There were issues with the check-in process, as our requested early check-in was not accommodated as expected. The car park was also quite narrow and challenging to maneuver in.

    From the warm reception despite arriving late to the beautiful location, the bubbles in the spa bath, the comfortable bed, the facilities were just brilliant for the weary traveller. Highly recommended and would certainly stay again. Immaculately clean also. Well done to the staff.

    I am quite a picky traveller and I can't think of a single thing!
