Description
The Waiotapu Hotel provides low-cost accommodation in the heart of New Zealand's world-famous thermal region. It provides a base from which you can explore many of the region's most impressive thermal attractions.
In addition to comfortable sleeping units, we can provide breakfast, or you can prepare your own meals in our kitchen unit. There is an area outside the tavern for camping. Camping sites are unpowered, however a powerpoint is available for charging devices. Toilet and shower facilities are available.
There is a fully licensed bar within the tavern building. In addition to a full bar service, the bar serves cooked meals. A specialty is a selection of top quality New Zealand honey mead and honey mead blends. You can also relax with a game of pool and take the opportunity to meet some of the local residents.

Pros:- cheapCons:- extremly loud - 1 toilet (also used by guests of the tavern)- there is no real seperation of the campsite from the tavern (the campsite was also used as a parking place by tavern guests)- be prepared to get rude comments by guests if you're going to the toiletAll in all, it was an imposition

We stayed for 1 night, super close to wai-o-tap. Lots of room, tables and everything. Toilet wasnt that nice, and only 1 shower which is annoying, but it was hot. $20 per van. It is next to a road, but it didnt bother us, didnt hear any cars at night.

This place is nice and cheap. Shower toilet and socket to charge stuff. At least it is safe too. We tried an overnight @ Lake Ngahewa Recreation Reserve But a couple parked there and went for a walk. The result? Front window smashed and stolen goods..
