Hotels With Pools in Waikato, New Zealand

The room isn't big, but it has basic kitchen amenities, and the cleanliness is acceptable. The hot spring entertainment facilities were a pleasant surprise.

Hotel is trading on its name. Place is in desperate need of an upgrade to rooms and many facilities. No air conditioning to our hotel room, room had a ceiling fan and a cheap pedestal fan. Reasonable breakfast buffet selection, though several hot selections were cold, coffee machine broken and apple juice borderline off. Heated lap pool full of leaves and lot broken and slippery tiles around pool. Room bathroom was very dated and worn. Bed pillows were of poor quality. Rooms not very soundproof. Staff were friendly so no bad reflection on them, it’s down to management and ownership to make this a hotel to miss until significant upgrades, maintenance and improvements are completed. For the price we paid we could have stayed at many other nearby establishments, but chose Wairakei because of its name and perception that it was an upmarket establishment. We were wrong. Would not be rushing back to stay again.

The scenery is unique! The eldest brother is also very enthusiastic ~ everything is great! Suitable for bringing children to play ~ swimming pool, it will be very comfortable in summer ~ the surrounding is quiet. If you go, it is recommended to bring more food up the mountain ~ the experience is better

Staff is super friendly. I fell ill and couldnt left Auckland and because of the app policy, I couldnt get the refund but they still let my friends stay there instead of myself. And they were very pleased with stay. It was clean, had all the amenities needed for comfortable stay etc. 

after being highly disappointed with Wairakei resort -we found our new destination what a a upgrade the Hilton is very modern decor spacious clean -couldn’t fault it from the moment we got there -water on entry greeted with a smile -customer service 5/5 got a good night sleep sound proof and in par with price -stayed in the junior suite facing the hot pool -gym recommended The bistro -thou recommend booking times was very full

Is a camping place

The room is very unique, but a little small. The breakfast is average. There are three pools in the wild hot spring, which is very artistic. The disadvantage is that the water temperature is a little low. For people who like hot springs, it is not up to standard.

We loved the room which came with a balcony overlooking the beautiful lake Taupo. The grotto and the heated pool were amazing and provided us with a very relaxing stay.

A good first stop over for our campervan trip as it is 1hr away from auckland airport. We checked in after opening hours (they close pretty early) but we could easily find our way and the check in instructions were clear and easy. Plenty of flies attracted to light at the campsite. Our camper was filled with flies and spent a long time chasing them away. So do be careful when turning on the lights when moving in and out of the camper.

The motel was in a good location. All of Whitianga's restaurants and a cinema were within walking distance. Unfortunately, no air conditioning. The room was very large with a separate bedroom and living room. There was an additional bed in the living room. However, the bedroom only had a small window, which I found very odd. The small kitchen was quite practical.
