I found this motel after reading lots of positive reviews on Trip Advisor. We stayed in the new side which was probably a mistake as it reeked of fresh paint - which soon gave all of us a headache. The new rooms are nicely decorated but since the sliding glass entrance door is facing the motel entrance parking lot and... more

We stayed at the Lake Taupo Motor Inn for 3 nights in March 2008. We booked after reading recommendations here on TA. I'm glad I did the research and booked ahead as the Motel was just perfect for our stay in Taupo. The location is very good - right near the lake and 5 or 10 minutes stroll to the... more

We travelled around the North Island for three weeks and this was the best motel we stayed in during our stay. Our room was absolutley fanstastic, spotless and had everything you needed and even had a spa bath. A BBQ was also available for residents to use. I've already recommended this motel to some of my freinds and family in... more

The hotel is situated well in a quiet street in walking distance of the shops and restuarants.... more

These units were tastefully appointed, spacious and comfortable. Our unit was decorated in contemporary colours with leather furnishings and stainless steel appliances. We were very impressed with the high level of friendly... more

There is also a kitchen area with fridge, hob, microwave & toaster. Also included is an iron & board, and even a remote control air-con unit. There is a... more

Read so many good reviews about this motel before we visited NZ that it was one of our definite stopovers but only for 2 nights. It was as expected, friendly service, check in and helpful advice as well. Room was clean and spacious. We had a problem with a leaking toilet when we arrived but this was fixed before the... more
