Clean units - The bed was very comfortable. Decor is a bit dated and the spas are very shallow. Only some jets worked. Nice friendly service. Bathroom is small and shower is small, cracked toilet bowl and bathroom needed revamping really. All basic needs supplied and clean.

Needed a break, so what better place than the beautiful Lake Taupo ! and the location at Baywater Motor Inn could not have been better. Our Unit was elevated with an unrivaled view of the Lake and mountains beyond. Our Room was clean and well appointed with a lovely comfortable (huge) bed. Our Hosts were most obliging & informative. We... More

We found the Baywater Motor Inn by chance as we drove along the road by the lake looking for somewhere to stay. We are so glad we did. Our room was clean and comfortable and looked out across the lake. There was a spa bath within the room which we enjoyed using. The owners were friendly and very helpful. A... More

I wish I had looked for this website before we stayed at the Baywater last weekend. We're wondering if it should even have been open for business. You can excuse the fact that part of it is under renovation but that's no excuse for our unit being dirty. Floors weren't vacuumed, bed looked sat on (I think the sheets were... More

We found Baywater Motor Inn exceptional value for money. Very clean and tidy. After our long trip up from Christchurch, all we wanted was comfort and that is exactly what we got thanks to Adelaide and Greg Burgess who were great hosts. They were very welcoming and nothing was to much troiuble. We also found that Baywater was in a... More

Avoid this place! We booked online and arrived to find a run down, leaky building under repair. Our room was one of the front ground floor apartments and looked nothing like the booking photos that were online. There were cracks and mould on the walls. It felt run down and sad. The heatpump didn't work, as it was disconnected and... More

In July we stayed at the baywater motor inn. We found a very dirted bedspread and when ask to have it change the manager was not interested. He findly did after some loud talking. There was also codwebs all around the lights and also under the bed had been luxs for months.We where the north inland for two weeks and... More

I stayed with my boyfriend last month and can say that it's without a doubt the worst place we've ever stayed. The 'superking' (actually two single beds pushed together so that it's really uncomfortable if you go into the middle and discover the gaping gap between) bed was circa the 70s and bowed in the middle. I've never had lower... More
