probably great if you're planning on spending a weekend there but for somewhere to just spend the night, it is a bit expensive. it was clean and nice and the beds were comfortable.

If booking online, you need to take a physical credit card with you as identification. Only found out once I arrived at location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wairakei Resort. Room was very clean even though they were super dated. The facilities were awesome - we loved the playground and the pools! The spa was set in a beautiful location and the grounds were very pretty. Would have loved to have been off the ground floor though. Weren’t enough parks for the wing we stayed in was the only issue I felt.

The room is standard size but quite dated, the heated pool is a joy to use. Location is 10 minutes drive from the lake side.

I like the facilities available, got my room on a special rate but the room is definitely not worth the rate they charge. Room clean but is tired.

The hotel has many resort facilities, but I didn't use them because I was not well prepared. I will learn more next time.
