Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Comfortable room with easy access to parking. Minimal facilities for catering, and oddly no cutlery. Seperate room for private thermal tub use, but we chose to use the 4 thermal pools open to everyone. Very relaxing, with sun loungers available. Comfortable bed, A/C which we needed for warmth as weather was cold. Plenty of restaurants and shops within easy drive. Lot of entertainment available nearby."
