Our itinerary only allowed a one night stay which was a pity. Unsure what to expect as we walked to the far end of a dimly lit corridor, our upstairs corner room gave us a pleasant surprise. It provided views over the town and lake from two large windows and the balcony. Kitchen facilities included a microwave and basic cooking... More

Someone else booked us in here and I wasn't expecting much from a Motor Inn, but it was pretty good, we had a spa room out the front which had glimpses of the lake and obviously a big spa. the curtains at night let in some light but other than that the room was good. The reception people seemed interesting... More

We only had to stay one night at the Lake Taupo Motor Inn. But it was very nice. Clean, tidy, and well even got a little bottle of proper milk! Unheard of these days! Apart from the broken TV bracket (FYI the management might want to fix that before it falls down) this place is excellent and hard to fault. More

Stayed here as a one-night-half-way-to-Napier stop over. Easy arrangements made for our very late arrival, long after close of Reception. We had an Executive Spa room which was clean and tidy. The price included a cooked breakfast which was delivered on time and was delicious. The spa bath was exactly what we needed after a full day of work followed... More

We just stayed 2 nights here to be close to a wedding down the road. I would stay here again, they were accommodating for our late arrival and the room was clean and breakfast was great to get us started on the day. More

A disappointing experience. A very average motel. The advertising promised views of the lake.....well you can see it in the distance over the tops of houses and around trees. The corridor outside our room was quite dirty as was the outside wall. The inner walls are paper thin and we could hear the people next door walking around, running their... More

This was the second time we had stayed here. The rooms are very clean and modern, loved the spa bath in the room. Reasonable rates, including breakfast, which was basic but kept us going throughout the morning (could have done with salt and pepper condiments). Very central, a short walk to the town and lake. The only pitfall was that... More

We stayed in a very, very nice 1 bedroom unit for two nights. Our unit had a very comfortable queen bed in the lounge area and two single beds in another room, a well equipped kitchen area with microwave, dining table, two easy chairs and balcony with table and chairs. Room rate was very reasonable and included a lovely breakfast... More

Very comfortable place to stay in a good location. The price was very good - we booked via Expedia. Our studio room had everything we needed for an overnight stay. We could walk into the centre of the town for amenities and found a couple of fantastic restaurants, again within walking distance. More
