Top Waipahihi Hotel Reviews

Oasis Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"Rooms a bit too smaller in size as shown in the pics but nice and cosy after hours check in was easy to follow "

The Reef Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at The Reef Resort in Taupō. The location right on the lakefront was beautiful, with amazing views (the sunset and Mt Ruapehu were especially pretty) and easy access to walking tracks and town. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and both the thermal plunge pool and in-room spa were a real highlight after a day exploring the area (the main pool was out of action for re-painting, however this didn't bother us and we were offered free use of a sister complex pool not far away). The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the entire complex was well maintained, clean and quiet. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay — we’d happily return and would definitely recommend it to others visiting Taupō. "

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

4/10 Poor

"We stayed at Grandeau Thermal Spa Resort on the 16th–17th of May and unfortunately left feeling quite disappointed overall. The biggest issue was the general cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms and facilities, which did not meet the standard we expected, especially for somewhere calling itself a “resort and spa.” The rooms felt extremely bare and empty, lacking any warmth or atmosphere. Even simple touches like artwork on the walls, themed décor, bedside lamps, or softer lighting would make a huge difference. At the moment the rooms feel cold and unfinished rather than relaxing or luxurious. The overhead lighting was also very harsh, and bedside lamps would have made the space much more comfortable in the evenings. Even with the heat pump going we found our room to be extremely cold in the master bedroom and had to sleep upstairs (3 of those stairs not having the support board under them was a bit worrying too). As well as a vent going straight from the bathroom to the bedroom?? Without evidence I cannot say it wasnt insulated but it definitely felt as such. There is definitely potential here, but at the moment it feels like the property needs more attention to presentation, comfort, and overall guest experience to match the expectations set by the advertising and pricing.
