Wonderful Resort to have a holiday at. Great to head out from to enjoy all that Taupō has to offer, and then return to for a good night's sleep in clean and comfortable rooms. Kids have an absolute blast by the pool and other playgrounds. Great holiday destination! You'll see us for sure again Thank you!

We camped here with our caravan over the new year period. We were able to party till 01: 00 the morning instead of 22: 00 and we Loved the stay. Would like the resort to put up more speed signs as the vehicles are driving quite fast through camping grounds. The rubish area gets nasty pretty quick especially when the grounds are full.
Great facilities but perhaps another restroom block and kitchen down the bottom would be great.
Lots of entertainment for kids 3+ years old.

What an awesome place. The pool is the main attraction but the rest of the property is so well maintained. There is so much to keep the kids entertained that my wife and I could really relax. 100% recommend this place for families. Will be coming back next winter!

Had a really enjoyable 6 nights here at the Lake Taupo Holiday Resort. Customer Service was excellent. What an excellent idea to have a staff member meet you at your Site (Caravan) and assist you, if needed, to place your Caravan on site.

Facilities were perfect, clean, tidy, plentiful.

The Lagoon was a great place to start the day and end the day (for me). An awesome place for families and the young at heart.

Booked for a xmas/new year break. They've decided that vx passports are required even though it's not mandated for holiday parks. They do not support 'prochoice'. They even withheld $25 per site 'admin fee', and did not refund us the full deposit we paid. Its not our fault they changed their rules/policies. Not good enough, not happy.

Just returned from a little holiday and really didn’t want to come home yet! Absolutely loved my time here and wanted to stay longer but had to get home! Room was awesome, pool was awesome, pizza was so good! So can’t wait to book in another holiday but a longer stay next time and then maybe another trip without the kids! Only negative was the guests next door to my room were so annoying and loud after the 10pm rule! Woke my kids but they must’ve heard them crying because those guests stopped being loud. Also wish check in wasn’t so late. Other than that, loved my time at LTHR!

We have stayed here many times but a bit disappointing this time trying to get our Caravan on to the sight broke off one of the leg stays because bank was to steep and apparently it's happened to others. Need to fix this problem

Stayed here for 4 days in the Holiday Cottage 4.2 seperate rooms, kitchen, small lounge area - close by BBQ and lots of facilities, great thermal pool and we just swam all day. Swim up bar, alcohol cost similar to normal bar at the moment open 3pm to 7. Movies on the big screen too. Definitely recommend for families. Facilities nice and clean and well maintained.

We stayed in a self contained 5 unit for our daughters birthday in Feb and everything was great. Staff were great, facilities were great and even better there was very few people staying as the holidays had just finished. We are looking to stay again this Feb coming and recommend choosing this place over all others in Taupo (even with the higher pricing, it is worth it). Thanks LTHS)

We stayed in the Tauhara villa with friends over a weekend (a few weeks ago pre lockdown). Villa was clean and cosy, had a full kitchen and was fully fenced making it safe for our toddler to play and roam. Pool was awesome despite the freezing wind. Heaps to do onsite but bear in mind there is a cost to hire mini golf/tennis equipment, or bring your own. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will be back to camp here in Oct if covid allows!

Awesome camp for swimming.game playing.and so many things to do. With everything here you don't need to go anywhere
Very clean and tidy
Great size camp sites and very friendly staff.
Moves can be watched at pool along with refreshments and eats.
Water is warm with many hours of play.
Highly recommended.

The resort Is a great place to take family. We all loved the pool. Friendly staff. Very exspensive though. Our cottage was quite small for the money, underfloor heating on the tiles was nice. Single glazed windows and doors condensated my kids thought the building was leaking. We had ants come several times. Brought fly spray and that slowed em down a bit but they were still there. Had to leave a night early as ants had been all over the kids room and my 7 year old has a major phobia of ants. Toaster was broken, blue sparks and nearly had a fire first morning, so no toast just had sandwiches. The water was randomly turned off to our unit multiple times on several days, not ideal with children. Someone informing us what was going on would've been nice. Also the corner of the carpark for our unit lacked stones and was super slippery in the rain, I fell over with our suitcase much to the kids amusement. Overall I think my family enjoyed it and I think we'll go back and give it another go.

Enjoyed my stay at this Resort, appreciated the help of the grounds man who got my site changed as office staff put me onto a site I couldn't even get the Caravan of my Ute. Facilities are very clean and tidy, pool is relaxing. Certainly no a cheep place to stay for a length of time but do recommend.

Well done team!

Paid $150 for a swim + $100 more at the bar for 5 people. Treated like our money wasn't worth it as we had to park on the grass verge outside the park as we choose not to stay there. Pool had a nice heat to it, complex was very tidy

The place was great! Management not so much. When the pool heater broke.we understand these things happen. (it was the main reason for staying here however) They didn't put any effort into compensating us with something that would help us feel like valued customers and make us want to return.

An absolutely fantastic resort. The toilets, showers and shared kitchens are all very clean, well equipped and maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The swim up bar is a unique experience and the drinks reasonably priced. I was very impressed with the cocktails, they were really well made and presented. Love the Expresso Martini's!

We initially booked for 1 night (August 3rd 2021) as a quick stop before heading to Mt Ruapehu and enjoyed it so much we returned for 2 more nights upon our return.

We booked a powered site for our 6 Bert camper (there were 3 adults, 3 kids), and for an extra $5 a night I chose a site right next to the toilet/shower/laundry/kitchen facilities and right opposite the thermal Lagoon.

It was absolutely fantastic, and the perfect winter getaway with the family.
The facilities, the service, and the staff were impeccable during our stay.

The lagoon is open from 8am to 10pm, has a large outdoor screen that played the Olympics and kids movies and has a bar and kitchen that serves decent food, I stayed in the pool for 2hrs and ate and drank without getting out of the pool.so I certainly over indulged.

The weather was pretty terrible so we didn't use the other outdoor facilities (playground, mini golf etc) but it didn't matter, the lagoon was awesome during the cold wet rainy day.bar still open!

There was only one downside, and that was the laundry drier, which didn't dry my clothes after 1 40minute cycle ($4). I didn't check with staff why, so not sure if it was broken. But I ended up taking them down to a local laundromat on our way out of town so wasn't a big deal for me.

We will be back next winter!
