We stayed one night and loved this motel. We stayed upstairs and was lovely relaxing on the balcony overlooking the lake sipping our wine. Close proximity to the main shopping area but be careful about parking longer than the stated time as the discs on the ground under the car let the parking attendant know you have overstayed your time....

We were driving around Australia and New Zealand for our honeymoon, and a friend recommended we stay in Taupo for two nights. Based on TripAdvisor reviews, I booked this hotel. I feel most TripAdvisor reviews overstate this hotel with comparison to other hotels in Australia in New Zealand. This is the only one I was disappointed in on the whole... More

We stayed at this motel for one night and found it to be very clean and comfortable, in an excellent location opposite the lake. There was secure parking at the rear of the motel and free wifi, which is quite rare in New Zealand. The owner Wolfgang was very helpful and provided us with a good restaurant recommendation. The room... More

The Executive Motel was only a 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of Taupo, and was a very comfortable place to stay. The room was really big, the facilities were all we needed (including the jacuzzi bath-tub!) and Wolfgang the owner was as friendly and helpful as possible. Prices were reasonable too, and the view of the lake from... More

We stayed here for one night on a business trip. The rooms were very upmarket, clean, comfortable and warm. The balconies outside the rooms would give a lovely outside ambience in the summer. The lake is right out the front to the motel and gives a wonderful view. Our host was friendly and helpful, and when I asked where to... More

Wolfgang greeted us and he was very helpful in finding us a great restaurant. The motel was pretty basic but very clean and an overall good value. Parking was a little difficult due to the tight driveway. We stayed an a lot of plush hotels and the only thing that could be improved in our opinion was the bed. It... More

For our one-night stay the choice of motel couldn't have been better. Between spouse and self we wondered whether the motel was new as the room was spotless in all respects. Wolfgang was most helpful and willing in finding local phone numbers for me. Excellent for the one-night though I wouldn't stay longer due to lack of storage space for... More
