Neil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay

Beautiful spot looking directly across to lake Taupo. Very friendly owners very nice and clean facilities. And homemade cookies a very nice and personal touch. Close to shops and restaurants. Only downer is a small amount of mould on the ceiling in the bedroom Probably due to the poximity of the hot tub. All in all a positive experience lovely and clean i would definitely recommend a stay at the Gabels clean warm and very friendly

Hidden Paradise

I'm currently suffering from sciatica. The bed was quite cozy and didn't hurt my back. The spa tub came in clutch. There are a lot of food options. Lionel's is great if you have the coin. Dough Bros was a go-to for pizza. Catch 22 is your fish and chips spot. Grab some disc golf discs and enjoy one of the top 100 courses in the world at Spa Park. Just watch out for the big roll away on hole 12, and ask yourself Why Are Trees (YouTube Nate Sexton) on hole 17.
