The drawing card for Lakeland Resort are the mass planting in the entrance. The price of the room was cheap in accordance to this. On entering the room, it looked old fashioned. The spa bath had the most pressure behind it than any I have been in. Needed to open windows to get rid of the steam. The bed was... More

Thanks for your comments. If you are able to let us know which room you were in we would be able to assess the bed situation, as we will happily replace beds if we know they are not up to scratch. More

This was a lovely quiet place - some traffic but rooms quiet, other guests quiet - great! Good, large parking and even enough spaces for an extra car. Beds lovely and comfy and stylish decor. Very clean and well presented, other than the alarm clock was already set for early next morning. That should not happen. The balconies are lovely... More

I have stayed at the Lakeland just about every time I have been there over the years, due to booking at times I have not. The rooms I have been in have always been clean and the bed is always up to a good standard, the best part is it is off the road so you get a very good... More

Pictures are not what they appear - this was a dump - beds sag, the smell is like a garbage dump - the sulfur from the volcano smell allot better - wouldn't stay again for $1. Service doesn't exist - the place is exactly what it is - a dump

I am unsure what smell you refer to and wonder if you might be confusing us with another town as you can't smell sulphur at our property. And our nearest volcano, which is located over an hour away has had no activity for over 5 months. I assure you that our pictures have not been altered in any way. What... More

This is the worst hotel you could imagine!! I tried out two different rooms and they were both the same. The rooms have a terrible smell as soon as you enter. The beds all sag and are simply worn out. Locks on the doors are very week, so you don;t feel secure. Had breakfast at their restaurant. The buffet is... More

I am very sorry to read your comments as I feel that they are rather unfair. I am not sure what the smell is that you refer to. All our rooms are deodorised after every stay with "spring fresh". and guests often comment about how great they smell. We also have an extremely good review average regarding the cleanliness of...

Tha resort is easy to locate and very conviently situated for visitors coming from Auckland or Wellington. A good place to spend a quiet and restful night. For tourism a rather long way from central Taupo. Adequate and clean rooms, good service. Most rooms have a nice view on Lake Taupo.
