I'm near the end of a week-long stay here, which has been delightful in every way. I loved the room - clean, bright and facing the pool - with mezzanine floor for sleeping. I had some writing work to complete, and it was just perfect for that. Plenty of quiet, beautiful lake view day and night, walks along the water's... More

Lake front accommodation with heated pool. Nice units and clean. Friendly house staff. Not suitable for very young kids as some units have mezzanine floors which can be a risk for them. Also do not get the pool rooms as it can be noisy and no privacy. Free internet but limited to 50MB which is restrictive if you are hoping... More

Hi GoldenDragon338, thank you for your review. We are really glad you found the place friendly and clean. It sounds like you stayed in the midst of the summer school holidays when the heated pool has been very busy and enjoyed by many. We do have garden rooms away from the pool and perhaps if you stay again you can... More

Nice motel with nice garden courtyard, swimming pool and spa pool. On the lakefront with easy access onto the lake boardwalk. Clean and cosy units and comfortable bed with sky TV. Free internet which we found very useful. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not very close to city centre, about 5 mins drive or 20mins walk, though we never walked... More

Hello Saranypan, thank you for your lovely review. We thoroughly appreciate your comments and are so glad you had a nice comfortable stay. Just being the 3km from town allows the extra space for the gardens, courtyards, swimming pool etc. It is also lovely and quiet with less traffic noise. Remember if you stay again you are always welcome to... More

This is a lovely motel with a great lakeside setting. The room was spacious, light and airy. Whilst not brand new, they were very well maintained and exceptionally clean. Clearly there is a lot of care taken by the team. The managers/owners were fantastic, so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We wish we had had time to stay... More

We absolutely loved this little motel right on the waterfront of Lake Taupo. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The room we had was spacious and modern and very clean. My son loved the pool and the trampoline. They also had bikes for the guests to use. I would recommend this motel in an instant. More
