The Baycrest Thermal Lodge truly impressed. Spacious rooms offered stunning views of the lake, perfect for morning coffee. The private thermal pool on the patio became our favorite relaxation spot after a day of exploring. The hosts were wonderfully accommodating, providing tips on local attractions and dining. Cleanliness was top-notch, with fresh towels and quality toiletries readily available. However, parking felt a bit tight at times, making it tricky to navigate with luggage. The distance to downtown was longer than expected for our evening strolls, which could be a consideration for some. Overall, a fantastic retreat that I would gladly return to.

would not hesitate to return there.

Spacious family room with a super comfy king bed, kitchen amenities, and a huge bathroom with a spa bath. Loved the outdoor heated pool and the incredible views from the balcony over the lake. Staff were super nice and helpful, making it feel like home. Clean and cozy all around!

The private thermal pool was amazing. We had a lovely balcony view of the lake. The only hiccup was some noise from upstairs, but overall, a fantastic stay!

I truly enjoyed my stay at Baycrest Thermal Lodge. The private outdoor thermal pool was a captivating experience, perfect for unwinding. I appreciated the detailed attention in the room, including the excellent quality linens and kitchen amenities, which made my visit comfortable and enjoyable.

Noisy plumbing from nearby rooms.

My wife says that the public pool needed better supervision for kids.

Exceptional kitchen amenities and stunning views from the balcony. Wi-fi was spotty.

Thermal whimsy by the lake

Our stay was delightful! The staff were incredibly accommodating, always sharing local tips, while the thermal pool was the perfect end to each day. Waking up to the picturesque lake view was unforgettable.

While the walk to town was a bit long for us, it's doable if you're up for a little exercise. The sofa bed could also use an upgrade, but it didn't take away from our comfort.

the geothermal tub room is excellent for relaxation after exploring taupo.

Parking could feel a bit tight at times.

i recently stayed at baycrest thermal lodge and it was amazing! the spacious rooms and incredible private thermal baths blew me away. i’ve been to taupo before, but this stay exceeded all expectations.

the parking space was a bit tight.

luxurious spa experience with breathtaking lake views

The immaculate rooms offered high-quality linens and essential oils, while the friendly staff ensured an unforgettable stay with attention to detail.

Would definitely recommend for a temporary stay

Spacious room, clean accommodation, with a comfortable bed and convenient outdoor dining area for breakfast enjoyment.

Entirely satisfied.

Staying in the spacious suite with a hot tub was a highlight, especially having a private natural water spa pool to unwind in after a busy day. The facility's thermal pool was just what we needed for relaxation, and the cleanliness of the room added to our comfort. However, parking felt a bit tight at times, and the shared pool did get crowded during peak hours. It was also slightly inconvenient that some amenities were not readily available, limiting our dining options. Still, the homemade ice cream was a delightful treat!
