It's worth it with this very affordable price(Sep 2011 off-season weekend), the lake is 0 seconds from your window. Clean, friendly service, reasonably priced food (okay in good way), waring distance from the cafes, shops and other activities. I love this lakefront hotel.

Dear Photonka - I love your positive comments and that we were able to make your stay so pleasant, thank you. We love our hotel also, never tire of the view etc.
There will be many more off peak times coming up and we hope to welcome you back again.

We have stayed in a number of motels in Taupo over the years which have had luxurious, large rooms with spa baths and are closer to the town. We decided to splash out an extra $100 or so on this hotel because of the location by the beautiful lake and the reviews of the restaurants.
Our standard room was ok,...

Dear Slob1234 - whilst your review is certainly not what we want to read or what is the normal for our hotel, it is however, most important for us to know of any areas that may run short of achieving great guest satisfaction. TRIPS members are private but I am aware of one only incident such as this on a...

You need to have ground floor lakeside room with patio, it's beautiful.
Food in restaurant really good.
Facilities at hotel great with outdoor heated pool and indoor grotto, which is small hot pool in cavelike room.
Just don't leave anything on patio as we had swimwear stolen.

Dear Sue H9 - Thank you very much for sharing your experience and i am please you managed to enjoy the hotel services and pool etc. I am so sorry though to hear of your lost swimwear - unbelievable really. Good advise for future guests and thank you.
Besy wishes

On the waterfront, but unfortunately the family rooms all face the road. Nevertheless, very clean upmarket hotel, which is part of a bigger complex. Very helpful staff, allowed us a late check out. Walking to the centre would take 20-25 mins, but the location is good and the walk would be all along the lakeside.

Dear DogDayDe - thank you for sharing your experience with us - true - our lakefront views are a huge attraction and of the 51 rooms 45 are lakefront - unfortunately we only have one 2 bedroom unit in the hotel.Some families choose the rooms that have 1 queen and 1 double bed in studio unit - there are several...

We had a ground floor suite looking over the lake (as do all the rooms) with a really nice lounge and very comfortable bedroom. This was our second Millenium hotel on this visit to NZ, having stayed a few days earlier in the Copthorne on Oriental Quay in Wellington. The service at both hotels was exemplary but what made the...

Stayed for 1 night to break up the trip north from Wellington. Decided to pay extra and treat ourselves and we were not dissipointed. We had a great room on the ground floor with the heated pool out one door and the lake out the other!. Rooms were nice. The food was amazing too.

The hotel is close to town and right on the edge of Lake Taupo. On a clear day you can see the Mountians of the central volcanic region. The lake is amazing. The hotel is clean & very well maintained. The room we had opened out onto a little outside area looking straight over the lake. The front desk &...

We chose from the internet and were certainly not disappointed. Millennium & Copthorne Hotels have their own individual style, which we like. We will definitely book at one of their hotels next time we visit New Zealand. Their Taupo hotel has a majical position and a very happy and helpful staff.

Dear Ian S - thank you for your feedback - it is always helpful to know how you chose us and even better to hear that it was a good choice for you and that you enjoyed our wonderful location. Yes Millennium Hotels offer many different style hotels in NZ, also world wide, and we will most definitely welcome you...

Arriving at the hotel I was a little wary, as from the front, it looks a little more like a motor inn than a 4.5 star hotel. However, the quiet and charming room, and the position right on Lake Taupo, immediately allayed my concerns.
We had a lakeview suite on the first floor, which meant two rooms (a good-sized lounge...

Also pleased that you were happy with our dining options and I shall pass your comments on about staff...
