Always a good stay at Wairakei resort, comfortable room very close to main lobby which has excellent AC. Plenty of on site parking and love the access to the motorway. The bathroom cleaning could be better as I found a few hairs in the tub when we got there however this was the only thing I could fault.

Nice and quite place to stay. Surrounded by tree which make the air so fresh and cool. Breakfast was super nice.

Parking is convenient, and there are many restaurants nearby. Most attractions are within a 30-minute drive. The parking space is right in front of the house, which is super convenient. There are swimming facilities, with the pool right outside.

Carpet in the guest room we were given was very dirty and stained.  The smoking area was right beside our outdoor space (booked non smoking).  However, they were accommodating in giving us another room.  Couldn’t get over the initial disappointment so we are glad our stay was only 1 night.

Located a bit further from the city. It has a large area with a heated pool and a gym. The rooms are spacious but a bit dated.

It's a small resort with a nice environment. The only downside is that there's no elevator for the second-floor rooms, so you have to carry your luggage up. On the bright side, the second floor offers a great view of the snow-capped mountains. There aren't many supermarkets nearby, so you'll need to go to the city for groceries. However, there's a pretty good restaurant just across the street. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's clean and hygienic, which is a big plus.

There were plenty of parking at the area. The room was huge and pretty decent. The only downside was the reception at night was abit unfriendly, probably due to fatigue.
