"We stayed only one night but I really think this is a place you would want to spend a couple of days to get maximum benefit from everything on offer. Only issue was the soap dispenser in the shower ran out of soap while I was in the shower (last one of three to use it) other than that enjoyable stay."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tauhara Forest?
The best area to stay in Tauhara Forest is near the town of Taupō, which acts as the main gateway to the forest and the wider Waikato region.Taupō itself is situated on the northern shores of Lake Taupō, New Zealand's largest lake. The town centre is quite compact and easily walkable, with numerous hotels, restaurants, and shops lining Roberts Street and Tongariro Street, which run parallel to the lakefront. It's a convenient base for exploring both the lake and the nearby Tauhara Forest.For couples looking for a relaxing and scenic stay, properties along the lakefront in Taupō offer stunning views and easy access to lakeside walks and activities. Many hotels in this area provide balconies overlooking the water, and some even offer private lake access. It's an ideal spot for enjoying sunsets over the lake and unwinding after a day of exploring the forest.Families will find the hotels and holiday parks slightly set back from the immediate lakefront, but still within easy reach of the town centre, to be a practical choice. These often feature amenities like swimming pools and larger family rooms.
When is the best time to go to Tauhara Forest?
The best time to visit Tauhara Forest is during the warmer, drier months, generally from October to April.This period offers the most pleasant weather conditions for exploring the forest and its surroundings. You'll find less rain and more sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, and picnicking. The forest tracks are generally in better condition during these months, and the views across the Waikato region are often clearer.Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the forest's natural beauty without the chill and damp of winter. The extended daylight hours allow for longer walks and more time to explore the various trails at a leisurely pace.For families, the warmer months are particularly suitable for outdoor adventures. Children can enjoy the forest trails and open spaces without needing to bundle up, and there are often more opportunities for wildlife spotting.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
