Excellent location, with the volcanic cones (including "Mt Doom") of Tongariro National Park visible over the other end of Lake Taupo. Friendly, helpful people and good facilities in our 1 bedroom unit. Very close to town and the smart, lake view eateries.

We stayed two nights in the apartments next door which are managed by the model operators. We were originally going to stay at the Hilton but had not realised they were so far out of town. Location was ideal for easy walking around town and to the lake shore. The apartments were clean and spacious and the motel operators friendly... More

Our second stay here this year. Room 14 again! You can lie in bed and catch a glimpse of the lake across the road. Our room had a queen bed, single bed, fridge, microwave, cooktop stove, all expected kitchen things, huge bathroom, iron etc. Other reviews indicate that furnishings are old but that isn't the case. Note that we stayed... More

We went to Taupo for a weekend to get away. We wanted to be close to town and this was perfect. Close to bottle shop and restaurants. We ended up gettting Indian, who the manager refered and it was great! Plus a bottle of wine and we stayed in as it was a very cold night. The room is large,... More

Stayed here for business. Was booked by work mate. The room was just massive. Much larger than what would be defined as standard NZ motel room. A real nice touch was the heater already on when the weather was absolute rubbish. Well done to who ever did that. The biggest let down was the bathroom. Frosted windows right next to... More

Arrived late in the day and proprietors were very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, comfortable and immaculate with great views across the lake. Location is close to wide range of dining options but still remains peaceful. Highly recommend to others. The Indian Restaurant nearby (easy to find as its the nearest Indian restaurant, and its on the first floor... More

Stayed here for one night in a one bedroom unit. Staff were friendly and helpful. Unit was clean, comfortable and spacious - nicely appointed bedroom with comfortable bed; lounge area with TV, sofa, and small kitchenette with crockery, cutlery, microwave and hobs; and a clean bathroom. Best thing about this motel is the location. It's right next to the centre... More

This place was great. I was there with my aunt and uncle and our unit and a double room, single room, kitchen bathroom, private jacuzzi and access to a mineral spa pool and heated outdoor pool.....all for the great price of only $179pn. The room was clean, comfortable and the views stunning!

Great location very close to the shops. The apartment we stayed in was no 4 which was an end one .Views of the lake and a nice outdoor area where we enjoyed breakfast in the sun. The beds were very comfortable, the apartment spacious. Missed having a full length mirror. The towels were great but would have liked a vanity... More
