We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location was perfect as it was close to all attractions and right on the waterfront. The cleanliness of the rooms was exceptional and the hotel facilities were top notch. We were impressed by the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with useful information about the city. Moreover, there was a coffee van across the road and parking was not an issue.
No issues.

It is on the side of Lake Taupo which is a stunning lake. It is also close to town - walkable in 15 min. Colonial is clean and basic.

I had such a fantastic stay at this hidden gem! The owners, Anthony and Noel, were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. They provided me with loads of valuable information and recommendations for things to do in the area, which really enhanced my stay in this beautiful location. The suite I stayed in was not only well-appointed, but it also had personal touches throughout that added a luxurious touch to my stay.
I would highly recommend this place to my friends. The staff were great and I had no complaints whatsoever.
