Rainbow Lodge -- what a wonderful place to visit in Taupo, the vacation capital of New Zealand’s North Island. Just on the edge of downtown Taupo, you can find Rainbow Lodge. This large backpackers is active, lively, and fun. The buildings are modern, the furnishings are in good shape, and the place is clean. The staff give their all to make you comfortable, to keep the place clean, and to be helpful.
The separate buildings give the place a feeling of space. Just outside our room is a small patio covered with grape vines. There is a small table and a few chairs. We lit a candle and enjoyed a glass of wine along with a few of the grapes from the vines in the evening. The central room (lounge, dining room, and kitchen) has clusters of sofas and chairs, a clutter of newspapers and magazines, and people enjoying themselves. The billiard table in the middle of the room (coin operated to get the billiard balls) is largely unused. There are also several tables for eating and a large well laid-out kitchen. We happened to stay at Rainbow Lodge on Easter and each pillow had a large chocolate egg waiting for us upon arrival. Shopping and groceries are convenient and an easy walk.
Taupo is a great place to visit and we can think of no better place to stay than Rainbow Lodge when visiting. Make your booking early -- the place seems to be full most of the time.
