We stayed one night. We found the staff very nice. The Motel room is out dated now. Old TVs and Furniture (some stains), Sheets clean. Cracked tiles in bath room but clean, no cooking facilitys. The Spa was bit dirty. It was not worth the price for the quality of the motel. If cheeper it would be OK. more

Me and my husband spent 3 nights at the cove as part of our honeymoon. The room was nice and big with a separate seating area and balcony with a hot tub. The decoration let the room down and it lacked a 'special feel'. more

This hotel is a nice boutique hotel on the shores of Lake Taupo in a great setting with wonderful views of the lake and snow capped mountains on the horizon. The restaurant is located on the edge of the lake with delicious NZ style cuisine and wines with a relaxing indoor and outdoor area. The decking area of the restaurant... more
