Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort
It met our needs for our stay in Taupo. Unfortunately the motel is a bit tired and has lost facilities, like the restaurant. It was easy to use the path to the river and into town

Amazingly friendly staff, food was amazing. The room was clean but a fair few cobwebs and missing appeal in the room, otherwise did not impact our stay.
