Oreti Village Resort

What a lovely location, really magnificent. Room was very comfortable and the views from the terrace fabulous. I would highly recommend a visit, and add a day or two.

風景優美，設施齊備

Unit 2b has a nice view from the deck overlooing the lake. However with unit 2a above it and you can hear their guests walking around like a heard of elephants. Unit 2b has a dated feel to it. There is a DVD player that's not connected to the TV. There is an old radio with a CD player. There is a basket with a game and a book in a foreign language. At $315 / night you'd expect a bit of luxury like clean towels, but they come only after three days (it's noted on small print in the bathroom). Great ambience in the restaurant but the filet was inedible. All and all - a bit disappointing for what you pay.

Lovely premises. However very disappointed that we were provided with no house service. I think this should be highlighted when you book. For once I was looking forward to someone else doing the beds. The small sign in the bathroom states that they only do room service on the third day. But no where on your website do you state the 3 day service level. I’d prefer no surprises.

Stayed at the resort for a conference over two days. Location was superb and the conference facilities and restaurant are great. Stayed in the Executive room which is well appointed and the best view of Lake Taupo.

So happy we discovered and booked two nights at Oreti Village Resort for our recent stay! Our lodging was quiet, spacious and clean with a magnificent view of Lake Taupo. While the furnishings were a bit dated, we very much appreciated the kitchenette and washer/dryer. Service from staff was exceptional, especially Debbie. Debbie kindly arranged for a packed breakfast and lunch for the day of our trek. We dined at the Oreti restaurant both nights and enjoyed wonderful service, flexible reservations and delicious food. We also appreciated the great recommendation for transportation to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing with Tongariro Adventures. We highly recommend Oreti Village Resort!

Deserves 5* to be honest, if not for the upstairs guests in room 20A! They were up really early and back late, just their footsteps troubled us in 20B :/ Not sure if it is the flooring? Anyway. Other than that, Oreti is beautiful! Ridiculous lakefront views of Taupo, it is everything we could’ve asked for. We loved our mornings as the sky lit up across the lake, little birds on our balcony. The apar**ent is not just fully equipped but drizzled with thoughtfulness - from the washing powder to the portable heaters. Electric blankets were a plus! Fridge/ freezer was top notch, our ice packs were solid and ready for our day trip to Whakapapa. We just got back to AKL and my husband exclaimed “OK - Oreti is better than this house”! Haha I fully agree :) Thank u for having us! Trying to come up with an excuse to be back soonest. PS. Maybe gun for the single digit apar**ents, first row to the lake. Numbers 4-9? It does help not to worry about other guests above u.

Stunning views, private, spacious apar**ent that provided ample space for our family of 3 generations. We breakfasted on the deck in the sunshine each morning. Bliss in April. We enjoyed a meal in the restaurant and the staff produced lovely meals for the vegetarians in our group

This place advertises itself as a luxury resort and Google says it’s a five star hotel. That is definitely not the case. This place is more of a rustic lake camp. Our place smelled like mildew and all of the furniture and fixtures were old, tired, and grungy. There are no screens on the windows and quite a few mosquitoes so you can’t enjoy the fresh air with the windows open. There was a kitchen but limited dishes, utinsils, and supplies for having a meal in. No napkins, no dish brush or sponge. No way to clean up other than putting dishes in the dishwasher. There are ashtrays on the deck tables. Luckily the people around us didn’t smoke or we would have been miserable. Their website mentions a number of things that aren’t accurate. Says it’s lakefront but it’s actually way above the lake and there’s no way to actually get down to the lake from the resort. They also advertise that you can book fly fishing and their chef will cook it for you. My husband booked the fly fishing and normally does catch and release only but I thought fresh fish would be awesome for dinner so he brought back a huge trout. When I asked the woman at the bar to cook it she stared at me like I was crazy and said we don’t do that. Then they tried to tell us we could bake it in the oven in our room. We didn’t even have a baking dish much less foil, butter, or anything else to put on the eventually, after telling them their website says they will do this and we didn’t want to hav killed the fish for nothing, they cooked it for us but nothing special. Not with a meal in the restaurant. They just sent us back to our room with it in foil. Don’t get me wrong, the views are amazing and if you go in expecting more of a lake cabin, it’s fine, but it’s definitely not luxurious. They do weddings and I don’t know how you could possibly feel clean and beautiful dressed up for a wedding staying here.
