Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Be careful with this place If you leave an honest review they will "blacklist" you and not allow you to stay again. Just pulled up to give it another try after a terrible visit a few years ago and were denied entry. Customer feedback and doing the right thing by the customer is normally important to New Zealand business owners. Instead of denying people perhaps promise them a better experience next time if they choose to visit again.

Awesome park with large level sites & an amazing pool area. We were surprised when we entered the park to see all of the activities for kids. We loved the thermal pool even though it was school holidays there was plenty of space.

The pool, bar, cafe great. Clean enough. Nice grounds, great for kids, but SO EXPENSIVE! We paid more than 800 for 2 nights for the tiniest little matchbox unit. There wasn't even space to put our luggage. Bang for buck very disappointing!!!

I stayed here in April 23 and the holiday park was very good! The reception staff was very friendly and helpful at check-in and the park is very clean as a whole. The lagoon is beautiful and I have not seen something like it at a holiday park yet. The water was quite warm and even with slightly chilly air temperature very enjoyable. The facilities are very clean and I saw them getting cleaned several times a day. All in all I would recommend coming here anytime.

We have been coming here every year for 4 years, obviously because we absolutely love the place, unfortunately I don't think we will ever return as we saved hard to be able to stay for two nights in the villas ($980 per night) each year and now it has changed to a minimum of 4 nights, it's a lovely place but can't justify that expense for 4 nights in Taupo.

Room Tip: The pool can get very busy and in winter it's cold camping so cabins are good or an extra layer.

This place is great fun for a family break away, kids love it and the units are excellent quality. BUT Read their cancellation policy carefully, it’s pretty tight and you stand to lose if you book and don’t go. It can be super crazy busy, go mid week during school term if you can.

Clean facilities. the large sites are great. The thermally heated lagoon is just wonderful. swim up bar. Hydroslides, mini golf, beach volleyball court, basketball court, tennis courts, games room. the washing machines are the most expensive i have come across at $6 and only use $2 coins - so bring lots for all those wet towels. Staff helpful. facilities clean and well maintained. For those that complain they get no refund when cancelling it is clearly advised before booking, during booking and recommend domestic travel insurance for those within nz. We stayed during the week and was hardly anyone around. During all of January, and during weekends it is busy and public holidays it is full.

This is Fiji without the flights. Had an amazing experience. Facilities were clean and constantly maintained, staff were efficient and friendly. The pool with the swim up bar and large movie screen topped it all off. Lots of things to do without going out the gates. Will definitely be going back!
