Summary: We had a wonderful stay at The Reef! It was THE PERFECT spot for the IRONMAN race as it is on the run course in both the front and back route so saw my wife twice each round lol! Lake Taupo is just 50 yards away and road out is very accessible. Staff was super friendly, and the room was cleaned spotless every day. We would love to stay here again!
