    Private spa with thermal/mineral water was luxury, you fill it yourself so can have the heat you want. (I filled spa a third full in evening for a lovely soak and topped up in morning to heat it up for another soak so not to use too much water) Upstairs room was very private and super quiet and dark for sleeping. Staff were lovely and friendly and helpful. The building is older but quite fine and had everything needed - hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner etc. Super comfy bed and nice bed linens.

    Wow Punawai is an exceptional bed and breakfast with friendly hosts . Very private room with your own guest lounge with amazing lake Taupo views and luxury wallace cotton linen to cocoon you in the extremely comfortable bed . Off street parking and easy Uber ride into town if needed. Home made treats and continental breakfast with yummy Bircher muesli was great to start our day.
