Enjoyed the luxurious feeling of this Motel. Amazing to be on Taupo's Main thorough road but not beeing disturbed by any road traffic or party noise. Windows are well insulated and location is well away from party central. Easy parking. Check in staff friendly, the only negative: Cigarette smoke puffing out from behind the reception area in the evening.. but... More

We found The Cove Motel great, after leaving another hotel disgusted, we pulled into the Cove and were welcomed with a warm and friendly attitude. Once they heard about our experience they were very helpful and accommodating. The room we received here was clean and tidy, the personal spa pool on the balcony was fresh and clean. We had great...

We stayed at The Cove in room 11 , a one bedroom suite in early February 2012 , a suite with all the required services available , and we thought the heated spa on the deck was just great . We would return again and this was our third stay in four years , paying NZ$225.00/night . The hotel is... More

We had the pleasure of staying at The Cove Motel on Saturday evening. From the moment we walked through the door is was home from home. Vicki on the desk could not have been more helpful, what a pleasant and friendly person, an asset that many hotels could take a lesson from!! Our room(#8) was immaculate, and had every utensil...

This was a room with a seperate lounge. It had a kings bed and a fold out double couch. It had a spa on the balcony but was not safe for children as the balcony railing was so low my daughter hopped on it to see the lake better and is so lucky she didnt slip. We kept her inside... More

This motel has a great location (right next to the lake) but it is very tired and run down. My room was ok but it was grubby (5 half eaten biscuits under my bed!) and there was only 1 fork and no knives. A little bowl of rat poison just near my room was a nice touch too. Also, be... More
