Even the stand-in hosts are great at this motel. The owners were away, but we were warmly greeted with friendliness and minimum fuss. Our 'family suite' layout was very well designed (I'm an interior designer), with a small bedroom just big enough for our two teens to sleep in, and a lovely big bed which was supremely comfortable for us...

We arrived at this lovely motel and were greeted by a friendly proprietor. Up to the first floor there were steps so no good if you are not able bodied but there are ground floor apartments also. The room was good, clean and good facilities. The view was spectacular, right on the lake front with a small terrace with table... More

This was our second stay at Boulevard Waters and it was every bit as good as the first time, a year ago. The complex is under new ownership (since our first visit) and they made us feel right at home. We had a studio on the top floor and it was quiet and contained all the facilities we needed to...

Quiet setting, the most awesome view and location. The rooms were clean and comfortable, modest self catering facilities were just what we needed. The hot pool was great and we spent many hours soaking. The local knowledge and friendliness of staff was invaluable & fantastic. You would be charged 3 times the price anywhere here in Victoria.

This motel is fully self catering, which does help the budget. It is right on the edge of Lake Taupo, with swimmable beach alongside ( and even next to several small hot springs!). The rooms were clean, well equipped and the hosts most helpful. The motel is just off the junction of State Highway 5, so not right downtown and... More

Location cannot be faulted. No road noise, absolute lake frontage, and easy to find. Keith is a new Manager, and his booking and reception were efficient, welcoming and first class. Accommodation in three first floor rooms was excellent. Floor to Ceiling glass doors give maximum views of Lake Taupo and the resident ducks, ducklings, geese and black swans. Furnishings and...

We stayed there in early July, the weather was not so good but the location and under floor heating made up for that. Very friendly owners and a very enjoyable stay. We will not hesitate in staying there again when we return. More

After finding the Motel online, we were treated as special. Got the room we wanted - the photos online were excellent. 5 nights of peaceful, refreshing sleep in a good bed and my wife's desire to see another great Taupo sunset satisfied 4 times. Put too much bubble bath in the first spa we had! but enjoyed the relaxing in-room-spa... More
