    I always like the private space inside every bunk. And that is why whenever I’m in Taupo, Finlay Jack is the place I will choose to stay in. Love the recent add on of mirror and a safety box that can be used to store valuable with my own lock.

    There is not much tea towels I could use that night. Probably it is stored somewhere I didn’t notice.

    It would be nice if there is a small microwave in the family room.

    Handy location, and friendly staff member. She was accommodating our parking needs. Water pressure in the shower is great.

    The noise after 10pm for over an hour during our stay (Thursday - Sunday) was annoyed as people talked loudly and music was too loud to get us to sleep.
