Top Taupō Central Hotel Reviews

Suncourt Hotel & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice lots of room only thing was I saw the tub in the pictures but when we arrived there was no tub in this room, so will make sure I request a tub for next time didn’t realise you had to request as have been before and just got a tub. But it’s still a great place to stay. Highly recommend with great amenities just a few steps from the rooms."
