"Breakfast is a bust. Go into town instead."

Beechtree Motel

8/10 Good

"Clean room, helpful staff and parking"

Oasis Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for our family. The kids loved seeing the ducks come up to the window. The staff were all lovely and very friendly. The room was a bit run down but didn't affect our stay."

Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

8/10 Good

Lakefront Lodge Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Ika Nui Taupo

8/10 Good

"Room was nice, exactly like pictured - only down fall was the sheer curtains having mold on the bottom on them. Spa pool also smelt and could see all the grime and dirt on top of the water. Exterior of motel and gardens could do with a refresh."

Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and was good value for the money."

Suncourt Hotel & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice rooms, clean pool/hot tub. Helpful sweet staff"

Sacred Waters

8/10 Good

"I had a pleasant stay overall. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the location is excellent—close to everything you need in Taupō. However, the property could really benefit from some upgrades. The furniture feels quite dated, the bed was not comfortable at all, and the sofa couch and carpet were not up to the standard shown in the photos. Also, be sure to bring your own toothbrush, as one is not provided. Overall, I’d rate this property 7/10. With some updates to the furnishings and better attention to guest amenities, it could be a much better experience."
