The Village Resort
4.4/584 Reviews
Was travelling in New Zealand when I was forced to isolate and this location after contracting Covid (it's still out there folks!). Francis & Grant the managers ... in fact the entire team ... took my predicament in their stride, were sympathetic and helpful. My apartment was spacious and confortable with everything I need for the isolation period. Lovely location on the front at Taupo although it's still a fair walk to the centre (there is a pub / restaurant next door that alas I could not try!). Nice looking pool and Spa. I recommend going for a first floor apartment if you can so that your views are not obscured by parked cars, though be prepared to carry cases etc steps. Grounds well-kept with a nice area for a bbq. Very impressed - would not hesitate to stay again!
Sails on the Lake
4.4/5107 Reviews
Wonderful service upon arrival. Opened the door to unit 5 and honestly it was the best view over the lake and mountains Ive seen. The unit itself had everything and ours had a huge spa bath. Great king size bed and everything you need for a few nights stay kitchenette etc. Funky little coffee cart on lakeside 50 meters from motel.
Phoenix Thermal Resort - Taupo
4.3/549 Reviews
It’s ok, but the only single-storey room is arranged. This is the second booking, because I was staying on the upper and lower floors before I felt good and I would continue to choose this one. After reacting with the store, I still wouldn’t change it. Happy
Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn
3.8/5103 Reviews
There are some car hotels, right next to Lake Taupo, the scenery does not say, the car stops at the door of the room, very convenient, very suitable for self-driving travel. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, cooking and bathing are not a problem. It is very close to the supermarket and the place to eat, and there are two or three intersections by car. The New Zealand big sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and stayed with milk.
Lakeland Resort Taupo
3.8/5107 Reviews
Very out dated facility in need of a lot of maintenance. To their credit the rooms are clean but paint was flaking off the walls. Features were very dated. The bathroom had been modernised but some of the fixtures were mounted in spots making the very hard to use. The staff are super friendly and very welcoming. Simple things like pool furniture cushions are completely shredded and a simple replacement would look a lot better and more usable. Overall we feel there are better options to stay at. Maybe it is only certain rooms that need upgrading? There was a seniors tour group and a continuous tour group staying there also. So clearly tour companies are happy to put their clientele here
Baycourt Lakefront Motel
4.1/592 Reviews
The new owners of this place took over in February this year and they are were welcoming! They are very aware of a few past reviews and are committed to their roles of bringing this wee gem back on the map. Great holiday price for our stay too. We stayed in a Delux Suite on the top floor for 4 nights. The balcony is a shared walkway to other suites, though wide enough that each suite has a small table with two chairs outside. We had great views of the lake. Greeted warmly by our host & shown to our room. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. TVs in lounge and bedroom. Bedroom was a good size. Pressure of shower was amazing and spa bath worked well. A few areas in bathroom need TLC however it was functional and owners are on to it. Room was serviced with fresh towels each day. Excellent location with a hop, skip and a jump to lake right in front. Cafe cart close and restaurant/bar 2 minutes away. Also within walking distance to main town centre. We will definitely be back!
