We booked The Loft for the family and it was very comfortable..However, we only stayed for 1 night..I would have liked to stay there for a couple of nights as it was very comfortable..it is situated right next to the lake and less than 5 mins drive to the city centre..the only downside was that there was only 1 bathroom...

We absolutely LOVE Comfort Inn Cascades and have stayed numerous times in the last six months. We have strongly recommended this motel to everyone we can and we will continue to do so. Alastair and Charlene (and Otis) couldn't be more friendly and helpful, welcoming and kind and extremely efficient with the presentation and daily running of the motel. The... More

We stayed in the Comfort Inn Cascades a few nights right before Easter in a "lakeview studio". It was lovely. Large, vaulted ceilings made it feel like we were in a mountain home. Our room was upstairs and I would probably ask for that again as the ground floor just looked out onto the carpark, while we had lovely views... More

We had a lovely stay thanks to the cheerfulness of Charlene. Great tips for restaurants, always ready to help and to give very personal advises to make you enjoy the region as best as possible. We had a studio upstairs, large and really confortable, partial view to the lake, wooden terrace in the sun, silent... and then direct access to... More

After staying in 3 excellent B&B in our North islabd trip, we were slightly disappointed with our stay ar this motel. The plus points were: generally clean, friendly hosts, free parking, a minute walk to the lake, good cooking facilities. The downsides were the very poor sound-proofing system and poort view (facing the road). We stayed in a downstairs studio,... More

We were so pleasantly surprised by the Cascades. There were lots of lovely little thoughtful touches to the room and the service that made it feel more like a friendly B&B than a hotel. Room was peaceful, spacious and comfy. The owner was really personable and helpful, and gave us lots of great suggestions of places to eat and things... More

Price is ok for Taupo at easter. We had noise from downstairs drifting up to us, so Im not sure on how good the sound proofing is. Staying in unit 19 is hard with parking, put a scratch on car backing out as its such tight parking. Room was very clean, reception lady friendly and helpful. Pool was warm. TV... More

I have to say, after a 6 hour drive and boat trip from Blenheim we were looking forward to a relaxing stay in Lake Taupo, and Cascades did not dissapoint. We arrived and were advised it was free parking which was great and offered milk on arrival which was a nice touch. The staff here are so friendly and knowledgable... More

Lovely quiet hotel on the lake forshore. We had a quaint little room with really high ceilings and windows that caught all the morning sun. Nice cosy touches to the room, percolated coffee, minky blanket and a great heater in the bathroom. (The weather was really cold) Fabulous walking path from the hotel into town, approx 45 mins away with... More
