This was a really nice place to stay at, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Each of the rooms had an en-suite bathroom. Kitchen facilities were excellent and even had an oven.
Originally booked for two nights in my previous stay but staff were happy to extend it for another and to let you pay in the morning
Writings on the wall were a really nice feature. The wifi is sometimes a little bit unreliable.
Great location only a few minutes drive from all the main shops and not too far a walk. Didn't get time to try out the pool which looked nice. Beds were comfortable . Would definitely stay here again next time I visit Taupo.
The only downside is that the wifi doesnt extend very far downstairs. So if you are in the bar there is no signal.response / report this review -

This was a really nice place to stay at, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Each of the rooms had an en-suite bathroom although there is only a tiny window so steam takes a long time to dissipate. Kitchen facilities were excellent and even had an oven.

Writings on the wall were a really nice feature. The free wifi was a little bit unreliable, sometimes dropping the connection to the internet which also made netflix pause.

Stayed for a night only, so can't give a full review of the place. Came in towards the end of the evening and checked out early as per busy weekend schedule. Room (Twin with ensuite) was very clean and tidy. Got an excellent night sleep.
Wasn't immediately apparent from the booking site (was a last minute, 'night before' booking), lodge is predominately wholly a Back Packers (has no separate motel style units), Visitors are encouraged to leave their mark on the walls (like a guestbook), etc adding to the unique Character of the place.
Has food for sale on site, (as I came in relatively late, somehow missed it, would have perhaps eaten there if I knew about it) with apparently fairly reasonably prices.
Only issue was perhaps the smoke getting in through the window in the early morning from the adjoining deck. When I closed the windows, smokers, realizing that there was a room there, politely moved away.
Overall, an older style, eclectic, unique place. Can't reasonably fault it as a back packers.response / report this review -

Four of us occupied a dorm last weekend. Mattresses are too soft. Water flow in toilet is too slow to refill. That made the toilet frequently doesn't have enough water to flush and has a smell. Second floor above us make noises when people walking. Do not recommended.
