Great spot, rooms and pool area a bit run down but reflected in the price. Will stay again.
So dated we thought we had entered a time machine and were transported back in time. Door in main bedroom didn't open properly, you had to close it to get to one side of the bed. Went to take a shower and found cleaning paste filling the tray along with a face towel? Appears cleaners gave up a few seconds into the job. Pretty poor.

Too much light in the master bedroom and the facilities a little dated. But otherwise good value for money.

Room was WAY too hot. A/C did nothing. We stayed December 2025 in a lake front room to enjoy the view, but had an awful time enduring heat in our room. It was 25 degrees outside but hit 34 degrees inside our room with blinds shut and A/C on full. Unbearable for me, but dangerous for infants, seniors or any other sensitive groups. When asked, the staff did not provide any other remedy to the issue. It’s a shame, as the view and location really is amazing. Rooms are dated, but fine except from 4pm-8pm when the room turns into an oven.
Was lovely. Comfortable bed. Air con worked well. Spa was warm, pool too warm for me

The staff is amazing, they were really helpful and allowed our trip to run smoothly! The lakeside view was beautiful and we could watch the sunset from the motel!
This is a budget style accommodation which was perfectly fine for two nights.
The bed was not the best I have slept on however it was it was a short term stay.
Rooms are only serviced after the second night of stay however it was nice to come back and find fresh towels in the bathroom.
Lovely position, right on lake front. Great spot to watch the sunset.
Two bedrooms - lovely comfy beds.
Enjoyed our stay, everything there we needed and room was clean.
However motel was dated, in need of renovation/decorating. Bathroom needed better lighting.
Love Taupo and would definitely stay here again.
