Hidden Lake Hotel & Apartments has a fitness centre, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Cambridge. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a concierge service and free WiFi. The hotel features a hot tub and a tour desk. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, especially at Christmas. The hotel is positioned by a small lake lovely for walks or a morning run. Plenty of nearby restaurants but quiet surroundings. The rooms were comfortable clean and well equipped. Easy free parking right outside. We used the restaurant for breakfast and for evening drinks and were pleased with quality and value.

For guests with children, Bed and Breakfast Happy Home Taupo Accommodation offers an indoor play area. After a day of skiing, cycling or hiking, guests can relax in the garden or in the shared lounge area. The property has great location and the bed was a dream come true! I came from a very long road trip and exactly what I needed. Here is the thing, you don’t book this accommodation only for the facilites you book it because of the host! This lady treated me like her daughter, she baked a whole bread for me delicious !!! And honestly such a great lady! I would definitely recommended she took my reservation very last minute and was so accommodating! You will not regret it!
