We went to Taupo to spend a relax weekend with my partner. We found out about Colonial Lodge using Google search so we weren't sure what we are going to get. The price was very competitive with other lodges around the area. The website was pretty good and it had all we were looking for (room description, pictures of the... more

I enjoyed my stay here although it is a fair walk to the centre of Taupo. Staff were very helpful, room was comfy although bathroom features were a little dated. It is great value for money and has a great view of the lake. I would have no worries about staying here again. more

Really enjoyed the stay, fantastic spa, very comfortable facilities, fantastic value and excellent service. Will definitely stay again. more

I stayed here while I was on business and it was excellent. Kayne made me feel very welcome after I arrived and checked in very late. He was extremely knowledgable on what local tours/activities there are to do and where all the good eating establishments are.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the gracious Manager, Kayne, who was not only a wonderful host, but he had great insight on where to go, and what to see nearby. I found it such a great place to stay, that when my mother traveled to New Zealand recently, I made sure that Colonial Lodge was one of her stops... more

This lodge is only one mile from downtown and just cross the street from lake Taupo. The studio we had was extremly clean and came with Jacuzzi. Very friendly and professional staff. Parking was free and right in front of our unit. I was amazed about the price we paid for. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Taupo. more
