The unit was clean and spacious, well stocked and had a private hot tub outside which was lovely to relax in after an adventurous day. The larger geothermal pool was also a treat but not easy to get in or out for those who have low mobility. The owner was very approachable and helpful. Plenty of car parks but a little tricky backing out of some spaces. Enjoyed our stay.

Good location, within walking distance to Taupo town centre (10-15 mins). We had a room with a view of lake Taupō and a private hot springs tub.
Really enjoyed the communal outdoor pool area as well. Toasty warm water.
Great to have some kitchen space with onsite laundry & BBQ if you need it.
Very clean & well maintained property overall.

While the facilities are a little older everything worked. A couple of things like the toilet paper holder and sink stopper were broken. The unit was clean and comfortable. The big issue was parking. Unless you got one of the prime spots it was a very tight back and forth between other vehicles, the building and a partially obscured incline. We had a small Toyota Corolla and could only squeeze between the building and another vehicle but couldn't open the door enough to get out. Get there early.

Definetly stay upstairs. The downstairs rooms are cramped and not good for eating in, paper towel or kitchen towel would be appreciated.

The room had a kitchen and small dining area like an apartment. They had a washer and dryer so it was super convenient. There was a nice view of Lake Taupo. Parking was tight but did not have difficulty finding a space. Staff was professional but not as warm as others. However, it was very private and we would stay again.

Baycrest was a great property to stay at and the facilities such as the laundry were clean (we had a previous stay in another property where the washing machine was dirty and we had to wait until we reach Taupo to do our laundry). We loved our upstairs apartment and were pleased that we were upgraded as downstairs there isn't a view. So if booking, make sure you ask for an upstairs unit otherwise you will be disappointed.

Great view. Really liked the layout of the apartment, the balcony, and the walk ability to nearby restaurants and the lake. The only downside is there's no elevator so you have to walk up to the second floor with your luggage, but it wasn't really a big deal. Very cute pool but not very large.

Lovely relaxing break

We had a lovely stay in our lodge. It was in a very peaceful location at the end of the lake walkway. The kitchen area was fully stocked with cup glasses pots etc. the room was comfortable with chairs and cushions. The highlight was undoubtedly the spa bath on the patio. It was easy to fill and stayed hot for a long time. The garden area was also beautiful. Although to claim a lake view was optimistic there was a privacy fence in the way.

Loved the bed!
We were in room 17 and it had a fabulous view of the lake.
The heated pool is a bonus but with the cold outside temperatures currently it wasn’t quite hot enough. It sits at 35 but really needs to be up around 38 for it to be a pleasant soak that keeps you warm.
The location is a little bit from the town but still quite central.
The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.
