Quick one night stay while passing through Taupo, great amenities, staff were really friendly. Loved our stay and will definitely return for a getaway.
Great location on the lakefront, ideal for my daughter to have her own space upstairs and short walk to the lakefront cafe. Would stay again

Beautiful location just steps away from the lakefront. The room was a bit dated but very clean; the bed was comfortable and the heat pump worked really well. Friendly staff and great to allow our dog to stay with us.

Place are old but it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay.
We always enjoy staying at Cascades - right on the Lake and we can holiday with our dogs, which means we aren't worrying about them while we are away. They love it too!
Always a friendly welcome and comfortable.
Thank you!

The property was perfect for us and our dog.
Great location, great pool, great room, will definitely be back
I love the room, it’s clean and spacious. There are seats outside of the room for us to have tea and a lil chat. The staff is very friendly and explains everything very clearly.

Staff were great, helpful. We loved the proximity to the lake and enjoyed a walk and cycle along the lake front and to Huka Falls.
The rooms are in need of some up dating.
The property was clean and beautiful. The front desk staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating.
The only thing we missed was a lake view. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Loved the spa pool

Location was great for us & the cleaning staff were very friendly
Staff very helpful, room clean and beds were comfortable. It was great to have access to the heated pool, hot tub and kayak rental. The kitchen we had only had smaller pots which made it difficult to cook for 3 but we managed by using two smaller pots at the same time. Hot water temp and the in room bath was great.
Great location and staff. Happy about almost everything except I can smell some odor from either the carpet or the bedding. The smell of it like some heavy hikers socks
