Great Place
The Reef Resort was ideally situated for us - both to explore Taupu and the surrounding area. Our studio room was very well equipped and the heated pool was a great bonus. For us the bathroom was a bit dated but that would be our only negative comment.

8/10 Very good

Was a beautiful view from room, room was superb, just something to think about if you are upstairs is the light that was streaming through the glass panel next to door into room, was like day light all night until we both had had enough at 2am....and I needed to exit room and go to foyer and shut main door that was left open at top of stairs, shame really as we were exhausted from our travels and needed the sleep.

The perfect spot for our wee family to stay for a weekend away. Kids loved the heated pools and the room was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Super service from Wendy at the front desk letting us check in an hour early on a miserable day. Will be back

Everything was immaculate, the staff were LOVELY, we needed to arrive late, the key was left where it was easily accessible, the light was on in our room, the two pools are stunning! We are hot pool people. Absolutely stunning. We stayed on the way down to Wellington, loved it so much we stayed on the way back up to Auckland. There are a LOT of choices in Taupo and this would be our pick, everytime.
