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. Great location, a short drive to the central part of town. Our room had a lake view, which you can enjoy from a covered and heated balcony, which gives it a plus if you go in winter. The room itself was really comfortable and every detail was well thought out. The spa pool was divine and the place was an oasis to relax. I'll definitely stay there again.
