Upon arrival the place looked great. Unfortunately upon entering reception we were greeted by a fill in manager whose shirt looked like needed a good clean. Shown our room which on first impression seemed very nice. That is where it ended... Floor had not been vacummed since last quests, with crumbs etc all over the kitchen & lounge area. Kitchen...

We had two very enjoyable nights here. The location was ideal, only two blocks to the town center and our unit had a beautiful view straight across the lake to the central mountains. The unit was spacious and we thoroughly enjoyed having a unit with a private spa pool. The room was very clean, the staff were excellent and the... More

Stayed here for three nights with my daughter, who was visiting from Sydney. We received a warm welcome and the wheelchair accessible unit was ideal as I am currently walking with crutches. The unit was well equipped and spotlessly clean, with good quality furnishings and equipment. Loved having plunger coffee provided! Good location and delicious cooked breakfast included every morning.... More

Stayed here on a sunday night while heading north for honeymoon. Immaculate room, with spa bath beside the bed and plenty of room set us up for a comfortable night. Hot breakfast delivered the next morning was delicious and lived up to expectations. Overall the experience was hard to fault, perhaps the 'lakeview' room had a rather distant view of... More

On arrival we were greeted by a friendly, helpful receptionist and our ground floor studio room (No. 3) had a kitchenette and was quiet, spacious, clean and well appointed. Parking was just outside the door... More

My family and I (2 adults , 2 children) stayed for a night here and thought it was perfect for our requirements. The two bedrooms had enough space and storage for our suitcases and beds were really comfy. The room was clean and modern and had everything we needed. Service on arrival was perfect and for the $200 we paid... More

I spent a long weekend here, tramping during the day and spa-ing in the evening. It was really lovely! The rooms were great, the spa bath was awesome, everything was clean and the breakfasts were great (tho the cooked option wasn't great for a vegetarian I was very happy with the continental).

This is a moderately priced.motel which offers great value and friendly staff. We were in room 5 which was clean, comfortable and was perfectly adequate for our one night stop. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast for two was included and the cooked breakfast (bacon, hash brown and 2 poached eggs) was delicious. Absolutely terrific value at $120.

Whilst all other accomodation providers in Taupo seemed to have jacked up prices due to the big concert on in town the Taupo Motor Inn did not. We had low expectations when we booked (the price indicated something average. When we booked in we were really impressed. Nice rooms. Super clean. Friendly staff. We'll be back. A+
