      Weekend getaway

      Great place to stay. Lovely & modern. We booked a small room for $130 it had everything we needed including a balcony & a view of the lake. Ultra comfy bed, Sky TV, clean room & welcoming staff. Not far from town would definitely recommend.

      Quick overnight stay in Taupo at The Cove. Nice big room, modern and comfortable. Big draw card was the hot tub on the balcony. Red wine and cheese followed in the sun on the balcony by a hot tub before dinner!!! Great stuff!!!

      The spa in the penthouse was in a large conservatory that opened, the pool did have a cover on but was easy to open.
