Looked liked the pool was not being in use for quite some time. The pool was dirty and definitely looked like wasn’t getting regular maintenance. The king bed was joined together by two single beds making it uneven in the middle caused my husband’s back problems. Neighbors were noisey when closing the doors. Otherwise everything else’s was okay.

Good location in terms of where it is in Taupo but the room I had looked right out to the neighbouring residential property and into their kitchen etc. No privacy unless the curtains were closed.
