Top Tauranga Taupo Hotel Reviews

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"10/10"

Ika Nui Taupo

8/10 Good

"Good Location"

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"The basic cabin was exactly what the name suggests: a basic space that fitted a bunk bed and single bed, a small table, small fridge, and enough floor space for your bag. Better than sleeping in a tent. But definitely not flash. Ours was joined to another room with just a locked door and very thin walls between us (we could easily hear everything the people in the adjoining room said) and we found the mattresses very thin and uncomfortable. But we were warm and dry."

Beechtree Motel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is not new but the room was very clean, with good sheets and towels. It is a good option for the price."

Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn

8/10 Good

"Close to town, and a pub right onsite, but quiet and comfortable. Had Sky 55+, so many channels to choose from, and if you get the rooms near the back corner you'll get the sunset for much longer"

Lakeland Resort Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is very Good Excellent customer service and the room is very neat and tidy"

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property suited our needs perfectly for a brief stopover travelling with our dog. The check in was friendly. The chalet spacious & clean & had been thoughtfully warmed for our early evening arrival on a cold, wet day. The property offers excellent value & simple in room amenities. It is a bit worn & dated but with a very comfortable bed, refurbished bathroom & cosy heatpump we were more than happy. We Would happily stay again!"

Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay at the Quality Inn Taupo. Room was nice, breakfast was delicious, staff were great and hotel was in great location. Would definitely stay again."
