Set in Taupo and only 38 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park, Acacia Bay Bach - Views, Spa & Serenity - Taupo offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. With city views, this accommodation provides a patio. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the lake and garden. Our stay at this property was absolutely amazing. The place was incredibly clean and comfortable, and the spa with a view was a fantastic bonus. However, the highlight of our stay was Don, the host. He was the best host we’ve ever had—kind, attentive, and always making sure we were okay. Don truly made us feel welcome, like we were at home. We can’t recommend this place enough!

Set in Ohakune and only 37 km from Mount Ruapehu, The Gables B&B offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has garden views and is 37 km from Taranaki Falls and 44 km from Whakapapa. The property is non-smoking and is situated 32 km from Turoa. We didn't meet Michelle, but felt very well her touch on everything. She took care about the smallest details, and in her absence she made her best to give us the feeling that she is there. The accommodation was spacious, clean, cosy and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay in The Gables and recommend it to travellers who are visiting Tongariro National Park and the area.
