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

Just to let you know, I'm sitting here reading reviews on Rarotonga, as thats where we are headed in a few weeks. Tripadvisor is a great little tool for people to give good and bad thoughts. Thanks for witing to tripadvisor. I'm pleased your stay with us was up to your expectations. Caroline

We stayed here for just the one night at near the end of March. We chose this accommodation from the comments left by previous visitors on Tripadvisor. We were not to be disappointed. The location is excellent. Near the lake on a quiet street. We have visited the Huka Falls Jet and The Prawn Park on the drive down from... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I looked on wotif however found it was better to go through the hotels website as it connected me to a site which had a great deal on a spa room that also included breakfast. The hotel is situated well in a quiet street in walking distance of the shops and restuarants.... more

We (2 adults & 2 boys aged 6 &8) were fortunate enough to stay in one of Lake Taupo Motor Inn's newly built two bedroom self contained units. 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

Thank you both for taking the time to write in. I hope you had a great time here and I bet you loved the funky motel at Waitomo you were going to. Today I have just brought those towel rails you thought would be a good idea, and the dish racks and I have got little tables for beside the...

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

We had read the reviews and were still pleasantly surprised. Friendly and helpful check-in, great room, pretty good location close to centre of town. Got good tips on dining out, location of supermarkets etc. We stayed 2 nights in Room 16, which is upstairs at the front. The quality of the large room was beyond my expectations for what we... more
