Taupo hotellia

Plussat: Clean , comfortable, convenient. A very modern and efficient establishment. The automated check in was very easy and the location, facilities and comfort were excellent.

Plussat: Everything, from the excellent bathroom to the well set up kitchen to the 55" TV, excellent bed and chairs, even little touches like a second TV in the room and usb ports in the sockets. Excellent place to stay and one of the best in the country in the price range. I travel the length of the country 4 nights a week so stay in a lot of places and this one honestly blew me away.

Miinukset: To be honest couldn't fault it aside from one small thing which is just being picky to be fair. They provide a Nesspresso machine and pods (which is great!), but for those of us who love a morning Latte, flat white or even cappuccino they didn't provide the aerocino milk frother so was such a tease.

Plussat: Modern and fresh. Comfortable bed, massive tv and liked the coffee machine.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very tidy, comfortable and loved the bathroom ..spacious and modern. Kitchen is very well equipped and modern. Entire room had very modern appliances, bedding and two flat screen tv in bedroom and lounge. Plenty if clothes hangers in tge wardribe. Nice outdoor space at thf back, would be really nice in summer as well as the front deck with paryial views of the lake. Nice ymtouch if outdoor cushions on deck seating. Very private. Loved the personal touches in the room - hand cream gift, nespresso machine lovely smellies in the bathroom. Stayed 1 night due to Wairekei resort being booked the last night of our 1 week visit in Taupo. We would consider staying here next time for the week! Handy to the golf tournament we were attending. Everything you need...plus great location, easy walk into town and down to the lake. Loved we could park right outside our room.

Miinukset: Only small thing, would be nice to have a couch instead of the fancy leather single swivle chairs. Just my preference. They were still very lovely chairs!

Plussat: Finally Motel owners who understand the customer experience. Modern, upmarket, easy accessible units, fresh fruit on arriving, an expresso machine , two TV's one in the lounge one in the bedroom, modern leather reclining chairs , bed fantastic , washing machine and dryer ,price really competitive ! close to town and shops and a view of the Lake. I will be back , best experience I have had in a small motel complex and I stay in them all over the country with my work several times a week. Oh yes and the best thing, rather than the motel owners thinking all people are going to lift everything and providing cheap nasty soaps and low grade tea etc they provide big containers of luxury soaps and a heap of milk sachets coffee and tea all the top brands. In other words they treat their customers with respect. One other thing plenty of plugs for laptops , phones etc for two people ,you would be amazed how many motels haven't got enough.

Plussat: Very nice hosts

Miinukset: Nothing. It was fantastic!

Plussat: Great location, so clean and tidy, very friendly, loved the cruelty free/ recyclable bathroom products and had everything we could possibly need.

Plussat: Location excellent; couple of minutes walk and you're in the town centre; right on the water front (if you exclude the street). Refurbished units are excellent - very homely. Work on the unfurnished side of the property doesn't start until a decent hour in the morning (past 8am when we were there). Great nights sleep.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everyone was friendly. The accommodation was really amazing.

Plussat: This wing of the motel was brand new; they were renovating the other wing, so construction was taking place. Having said that, the sound-proof doors and windows kept ALL the noise out. Everything was new and lovely; bed super, really nice little kitchen in our unit (#10), spacious bathroom. The location is perfect - right on the lake, very short walk to many good restaurants. Try to get one of the two 'view' rooms - rooms 11 and 12 I think (check to be sure) on the second floor; the view rooms on the first floor mostly give you a view of the road. The majority of the bottom floor rooms have nice little patios, not lake facing however. The staff were wonderful - friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: The construction, but it was only the slightest bother.

Plussat: Good location. Nice friendly staff. Couldn't fault this stay.

Plussat: Beds super comfy Central to the township Friendly staff

Plussat: This is one of the very few motels in Taupo with parking for cars with trailers.Very handy for those of us who intend using the race track, or may be taking a boat on the lake.

Plussat: Loved that the motel had the Rugby World Cup 2019 showing Live on the TV. Check in was very quick and easy and the room we stayed in was fresh and clean. Great value for money too.

Plussat: Happy with the accommodation. Great for kids

Plussat: Units were very clean and the owner was very nice, easy to get along with.

Plussat: The location is great, the shower has really strong pressure and the bed was extra comfortable

Miinukset: In relation to room 12 only, the hot tub didn’t have as many tubes that create bubbles as other similar rooms, the light doesn’t work in the tub area, and no dishwasher in this particular room. The heat/warmth of the tub was really good nevertheless when we checked in, however it was not warm/quite cold in the morning before checking out so couldn’t use it one more time.

Plussat: we were welcomed by the owners.magnificent view of lake.comfy bed.our unit had hot tub.was very clean and tidy.all the latest appliances even a dish drawer.an added extra was the owners wife placed a jar of cookies(made by herself) in the unit.very nice with a coffee or tea

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The owners are friendly, informative and welcoming. The accommodation itself cannot be faulted - the location and views are remarkable, the food was delicious, the guest bar was regal and all surrounds absolutely luxurious. Every single tiny detail was absolutely 5 Star. This place is 100% worth staying at if you’re planning any activities near or at lake taupo. Indescribably brilliant. Would love to return!

Miinukset: That we couldn’t stay here for a few more nights!

Plussat: The room was exceptional, very large and every comfort provided. Has a fantastic recreational area with a full size billiard table. The lodge promotes drinks in the lounge area each evening , unfortunately we were unable to attend. The breakfast was as good as you would get at any five star hotel.

We had our own patio to sit on and direct access to a good dog park behind the unit where Max enjoyed friendly interaction with other dog guests. The Motel has friendly accommodating owners, good value, quiet and across the road from the lake. Accent on Taupo Motor lodge is close to town, restaurants and activities and would recommend for solo, couples, families and pets. Thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay and will return.

Miinukset: Parking was a little tight but manageable.

Plussat: Very big villa with great view across the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed, however we could not get the cooker to work. This was not a big problem as we used the BBQ. The manager was very helpful and very nice.

Miinukset: The whole place could do with a redecoration and modernisation. We were woken very early by other guests being noisy loading cars, slamming doors and shouting just outside our bedroom!

Plussat: everything perfect!

Miinukset: shower cutain..

Plussat: Beautiful location in Acacia Bay - just 5 min drive outside of Taupo. Highly recommend the 20 walk from the house down to the bay shore where kayaks can be rented. Restaurant options in Acacia Bay are limited, but Taupo has an abundance of great eating places. Free breakfast at the home is wonderful (cooked and continental). Excellent Wi-Fi sufficient for streaming videos in rooms if desired.

Plussat: Clean & beautiful room, comfortable bed and very friendly hosts.

Plussat: The host couple was very friendly and kind with exceptional hospitality. I visited this house with my parents as it was their first time to travel in NZ.

I really appreciate to the hosts, and truly recommend everyone this place.
