Suites
Our two suites and our luxurious new Chalet d'Amour - a romantic cottage for two - all feature magnificent lake views, epitomizing boutique accommodation in New Zealand.
Chalet d'Amour : is tucked in a quiet corner on the back of Tauhara Sunrise's grounds. The chalet offers every luxurious amenity imaginable, including king-sized bed with 1000 thread-count sheets and memory foam mattress, a huge double shower with dual rainshowers, double spa bath, gas fire, a fridge stocked with complimentary beers, wines and sodas, kitchenette with tea & coffee facilities, 32 inch TV, DVD player and Sky satellite television, top-of-the-line sound system, sumptuous leather sofa and fireside sheepskin rug, dimmer-controlled lighting, complimentary wireless internet access and a selection of games. It even has its own private patio, as well as private access, with parking right beside the cottage. And, Chalet d'Amour was built with the environment in mind. An insulated slab, double glazing throughout, and additional heavy duty insulation mean that the Chalet is incredibly thermally efficient. Plus, a solar panel delivers not only hot water, but underfloor heating in the bathroom.
White Cliffs : This disabled-accessible suite with oversized shower can be configured with either a king size bed, or two twin (single) beds. When configured as a king bed, we use a 2-inch memory foam mattress topper so that there is no feel whatsoever of the single beds plus you gain the added luxury and comfort. Many guests comment on the great night's sleep, aided also by the 1000 thread-count sheets. Some even arrive late for breakfast in the morning! The view is across the lake to the white pumice cliffs in the distance and mountains beyond. The suite features a 21-inch television with in-suite Sky satellite decoder for unrestricted channel access (including a wide selection of music channels), CD/MP3 stereo and DVD player with a broad selection of movies. In-suite complimentary Ethernet access and an in-suite, remote controlled heater/air conditioner are also provided.
Lake Taupo : This queen suite is our smallest, but offers magnificent views of the lake, as well as the lights of Taupo by night. Memory foam mattress topper and 1000 thread-count sheets ensure a great night's sleep. Ensuite features a shower, vanity unit crafted from native New Zealand timbers, and a wardrobe/dressing room. The suite features a 19-inch widescreen LCD TV with in-suite Sky satellite decoder for unrestricted channel access (including a wide selection of music channels), DVD player with a broad selection of movies, and iPod with speakers. In-suite complimentary Ethernet access and an in-suite, remote controlled heater/air conditioner are also provided.
