Offering panoramic views of Lake Taupo, the luxurious self catering apartments at Baycrest Thermal Lodge feature free Wi-Fi and satellite TV. The shores of Lake Taupo are only 100 meters away.

Guests of the Baycrest Thermal Lodge Taupo can choose between ground floor apartments with an outdoor hot thermal plunge pool, or first floor apartments with a spa bath, balcony and Lake Taupo views. The Lodge is in a great location and we had a room with a beautiful view over the lake. We also enjoyed time in the property's private hot pool. The staff / owners were all very friendly and welcoming and we'll definitely be staying there again.
