Staff is very attentive, room is huge, the view from our room was superb (view to the lake, thanks for that). Bathroom floor heating works well (hurrah !!).. For the first time in a long time in New Zealand I ordered a glass of wine and they brought the bottle and served me !!

    Was not in Taupo long but what I saw looked good. Smaller town with a nice atmosphere. Plenty of places to eat, things to see and do. Getting around Taupo in peak hours is a challenge so time your travel.

    We just wanted the best affordable accommodation as we were passing through to spend the day with family then returned again the next night. Loved having a comfortable and spacious hotel type room to relax in after a long drive.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime. Restaurant and Fast Food place sort of central in about 4 blocks. Huka Falls Jet and Rapid Jet need to consider a shuttle service from downtown Taupo because it is dare for a Uber ride and even darer for a Taxi. My favourite place to eat was Portofino Taupo, their service was exceptional.

    A fabulous place to stay and explore we did a cruise on Lake Taupo I highly recommend on the Ernest Kemp .We visited the Huka falls which was an amazing experience. Taupo is easy to get around walking or driving and there’s lots of great shopping. We ate at a waterfront restaurant “ Lone Star “which have specials at lunchtime ,steak was awesome. We enjoyed “ Lotus Thai” fabulous food , good service staff very friendly a great night . Lake Taupo is a must see experience 😁

    So many really good restaurants and cafes.

    So many really good restaurants and cafes. Mini Golf and Golf at the main courses are always a must for us and we have visited all courses including the beautiful Wairekei Course many times before. Retailers are always very warm and helpful and good walking paths around the lake. Scenery also really good, especially in the winter months with the snow capped mountains. Locals always say Hi when your'e out walking etc.

    We stayed at many hotels during our tour of New Zealand. Lake Taupo Motor Inn stands out as the best of the best. Why? Because it ticks all the boxes - friendly staff (they let us check-in early - really appreciated this), a quick and stress-free check-in, huge rooms (with a patio!), fantastic location - town center and the lake both a short walk away. Can park right up to your room, makes things much easier with heavy suitcases, And great value for money. It deserves all the stars.

    It was clean - my top priority! It was roomy with a separate bedroom in the standard unit. It had a kitchen so you could cook if you wanted - this included a microwave and a half size fridge. Unit 6 is on the upper level with a set of outside stairs on either end of the complex. Parking was outside the room and free. Had a distant view of Lake Taupo from the lounge. Room was quiet and a cheaper price than most. Close to town - could walk but we drove.

    Perfect hotel, perfect location, perfect view - a lovely lakeside apartment hotel. Attractive landscaping surrounds about 20 rooms in this 2 story complex. Ours was on the second floor with a straight out view of the lake. I loved everything about this place - including the reception staff who proved both informative and helpful. And after settling in we walked the two minutes to the compact and lovely downtown.

    Very well equipped unit! Nice walking distance to both downtown Taupo and my uncle's home. Being by the lake with a view was a bonus! The managers were really friendly and had several good tips for breakfast and dinner spots in town. We were so happy with the free laundry, especially after a muddy few days in the Tongariro National Park. We would definitely choose Sails on a next visit to Taupo.

    Our Hosts Peter & Michelle were amazing! Very sociable and humble couple. The Lakeview room was top notch, beats any hotel room in Taupo. Freshly cooked bacon & Eggs, hash browns plus barista style coffee - Best I’ve had outside of Wellington. The views are cherry on the cake. Definitely staying there again.

Well organised, lovely toiletry products, the best shower ever, comfortable, warm and private. Definitely top of our list for places to stay in Taupo. Looking forward to our next visit.

    It was just steps from Lake Taupō, kitchenette, great A/C; we had The Nook (smallest unit in the corner but perfect size for two), free washer/$2 dryer, free ice just steps from our door. Very clean, sofa, small kitchen table/chairs, good value. Kayaks and bikes available to rent on property.

    This is a very quiet location in a South Taupo neighbourhood; easy walk down the hill to the lake pathway (3 km or so into centre of town) and the Botanical Reserve. Great to have the washing machine & outdoor clothes line. Really appreciated the muesli.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though NZ is becoming more pet friendly, choices are limited if you can’t leave your four footed family member at home. We find Cascades to be the best pet friendly motel in Taupo.

    A wonderful place to spend a short or long holiday on Lake Taupo. A unique family and charming atmosphere. A perfect place for a couple, not for a family with children, which increases the quality of relaxation,
