Yes the room was clean and tidy - the walls are thin so you need courteous neighbours which on one night we did not :) but that is not the fault of the accommodation. We have already booked our next stay.

Great helpful staff, nice and cozy unit. Plenty of blankets and heaters, kitchen had loads of cooking tools and dishes. Right on the lake! Restaurants nearby in Taupō were plentiful and grocery nearby made it convenient to shop for cooking in, too. Would totally come back!
