Beautifully appointed apartment with view over the buildings in front of the lake and mountain. Comfy living room seating and plenty of space for 2 couples. Third single room was great as a dressing room. Few minor things needed fixing (bathroom door lock broken so one of our party got trapped in there), coffee machine not working properly and no blind in one of the bedroom windows. Management were quick to remedy what they could at the time. Pool was great, much bigger than it looked in the photos. Would definitely stay again.

The view of lake Taupo was beautiful. The hot tub was a pleasure. The kitchen was spectacular and a pleasure to cook in. The apartment complex is somewhat of a distance to the stores but with a car not a problem. We stayed in a 2 bedroom
Apartment with washer and dryer within the accommodation that made it very convenient. The second bathroom had a glass door that only went midway making it difficult not to soak the bathroom floor.

Absolutely a beautiful property, unfortunately the person on reception was trying to be as unhelpful as she could possibly be. We wanted to purchase some milk: she told use to go to the BP across the road, which we had already been to and they were out of stock which was why we went back to reception, but she wouldn’t allow us to purchase anything at any cost
It was just disappointing

Nice property, just needed vacuuming properly and bathroom showers cleaned better.
Bed was uncomfortable and was 2 beds joined together which a few places do also but not good.
Pillowed we’re too firm / high so I ended up using a cushion instead.
Otherwise nice place and really good value if more than a couple stay as had 3 bedrooms.
Otherwise good.

Wonderful place to stay for a little while or an extended period. Our apartment was an upstairs lake front location and the views of the lake were incredible! The layout of our apartment was excellent with enough space in each room for storage. The bathrooms were well designed and roomy with skylight for natural light to stream through. The kitchen area had every amenity. The property is well maintained and secure. Lorraine, the manager was welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Thank you, Lorraine! Highly recommend.

Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful team. The room looks over the lake and is well designed to make the most of the sunsets. Just note that it sits on a geothermal area, so you have a hot water springs and beach right in front. For winter, get the ground floor unit because it is like permanent underfloor heating! For summer, get a upper floor as it gets too warm at times on the ground.

Spacious Apartment

Check in easy, manager friendly and polite. We stayed in room 9 and it was clean comfortable, warm and well equipped. Would happily book again and have no idea why bad reviews as our experience was all positive.

Lets start with the positive. The location is amazing, with easy access to the waterfront walkway. The service from Bernie and the cleaning team was great. Unfortunately the unit itself let the rating down. It was very tired looking, with stained carpet and marked walls in dire need of a repaint. The furniture was also worn and needed replacement. If you stay here, avoid unit 9 and head for the lake front units which look to be in much better condition. I would go back, but wouldnt stay in that unit.

Our suite was very spacious and room for the 4 of us with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms were very modern and all was very clean. The pool was nice and the boardwalk was right in front of the property. It was a short drive to town so very convenient.

Disappointing

The position of the apartment is amazing and it is incredibly well equipped, however we had a major in the fact we couldn't use the outside terrace area in the daytime because the sunshades had been damaged, this meant the children couldn't go outside and use the hot.tub as it was just too hot. If.we had been informed in advance we could have made other plans. We we're even informed at check-in about the issie, it was only when we tried.to close the blinds and called reception that they told us the blinds were broken.
We weren't even offered a rebate on the cost.

We booked three bedrooms lake view and without our knowledge and approval, we were moved to a two bedroom penthouse. The kids have to sleep in the same room which means they did not get much sleep. It is extremely cocky of management to not even call us prior to our trip and update. We landed and got told we can only have two bedrooms. We booked and got confirmation of three bedrooms at least three months ahead of our trip. Not going back again.

Andy and Mel were friendly. Caitlyn was awesome. We extended our stay thanks to Caitlyn. We even upgraded to the Penthouse
We were staying in the Thermal 3 Bedroom, near the heated pool. It was noisey. The lights were flickering. We had to go to Reception to get toilet paper, and towels. We got none in the room. One of the sliding doors didn’t lock. These are just some of the things we encountered
So, we upgraded, thinking it would be better. We went to a 2 Bedroom Penthouse. The AC in the Master Room needed to be replaced. The bathroom doors were noisey, so we had to open them. The sliding doors were noisey with the wind blowing. The outdoor furniture moved a lot, so we had to make sure they didn’t and we were safe. There were 5 in total, 2 adults and 3 kids. In the second room, there was a fold out bed. But at 3am, the youngest fold out bed, the head collapsed, so she had to get in the other two’s bed. The parking was terrible. The front passenger seat, I couldn’t get in. So my husband had to move the vehicle so I can get it. I told my husband to park, the way I could get in and out the vehicle
To give you perspective, I am recovering from a Stroke 18/09/2022, which really affected my right side and my talking. I have Dysarthia, and I am right handed and in my right arm I have Tremours

Good apartments but could be better

Well equipped apartments and comfortable. Cleanliness should be approved, and there was cabinetry blowing out in the bathroom and the kitchen had some broken cabinetry. A nice stay but could of been better.

Lakeview apartments

The staff were friendly and very helpful. Checkin and checkout were very easy. The hotel is very nice with some good facilities with roomy apartments. The apartments are privately owned and i guess vary in decor. I felt the the appliances and deco were a bit dated. There was air con in the living room and second bedroom but none in the master suite. Overall the rooms were clean and well maintained. Nice views of the lake from the balcony.

I booked the apartment because I needed a full size fridge/freezer as I was in the process of moving & needed somewhere to keep things frozen.
It was VERY warm & stuffy inside the apartment but opening the windows & turning the aircon on solved that. Even the underground parking was overly warm. I was late checking in but the instructions for where to find the key etc were clear & I had no problem at all until I went out to get food. On coming back the garage door was down & the remote to open the door id been given was not working & id left the paper with the after hours phone number in the apartment. Luckily another resident helped me out & I was able to get in. Overall it was a lovely one night stay. You could quite happily stay for a few weeks & be comfortable. The kitchen looked to have everything you’d need to be able to cook well. The bed was comfy, shower hot & apart from the noise of kids in the pool at times it was quiet.

We stayed at Sacred Waters for two nights in a three bedroom Thermal apartment. There was only the two of us so we only used one bedroom but we had an absolutely wonderful time. The kitchen was huge, allowing us to cook on one of the nights and the apartment had a comfy bed and shower with great pressure. We enjoyed relaxing and using Netflix, as well as having a dip in the heated pool and our hot tub on the balcony. Highly recommend this place if you’d like to indulge! We loved being so close to the lake and enjoying what Taupo has to offer. Thank you!

Loved that our unit had a private entrance to the heated pool. Apparently it is the only unit that does which makes up for the lack of view. Assumed there was a spa bath, however it was an outside hot tub.. Not the best design to be honest but did the trick.
