Lanecove was built in 1986 in contemporary American style with dramatic concrete and glass cylinders. Most of the 20 guest suites, feature either spa baths or spa pools on sundecks, and some suites have views across the lake to snowcapped mountains or the lights of Taupo township.
Guests enjoy the access to Hot Water Beach where thermal water warms the lake.
Shimmers, the in-house licensed restaurant, overlooks the lake's clear waters, with alfresco meals on the deck in summer.
