We stayed at this hotel on our way north and were impressed with the ease of the stay, the comfortable room and the breakfast included, (so we stayed there again on our way home). more

27/01/2009 When booking our holiday my husband told me he wanted to stay one place where it was "WOW" well when we walked into our two bedroom suite at the Taupo Motor Inn that is exactly what we said... WOW. It was not at all what we had expected and I have to say that the looks from the outside... more

We stayed at the the Motor inn for only 1 night and were really impressed with the unit we had. It was tastefully furnished, only a few months old so in excellent condition, very clean, nice outdoor pool and spa. We were in a 2 bedroom unit near the road on a Friday night and we had minimal noise so... more

Room was absolutely lovely. Clean, spacious and immaculate. Room had a breath taking view of Mt Ruapehu. Spa tub was great getting into after a long drive from Tauranga. I'm not one for staying at motels, but this has changed my whole perspective for them. The owners were very friendly and accomodating. Their in-house restaurant served delicious meals and the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights during December 2008 and found the accommodation and facilities to be perfect for our needs. We had a two bedroom unit with bathroom, kitchen and balcony. The unit and all facilities are maintained in excellent condition and are pristine. We had views towards the town and Lake Taupo but given the warm weather we... more

My husband and I stayed here for a special weekend away in September, based on the Tripadvisor reviews. Usually these reviews stand us in good steed when travelling the world but in this instance we were bitterly disappointed with our stay at this establishment. From the frosty and unfriendly welcome and farewell at reception to the extremely average room, which... more

Thanks for taking the time to write this reposnse, although it would have been more appropriate to bring this to our attention at the time of your stay, back in September. I find it incredible that anyone of our Staff would be unfriendly, the Staff in Reception consist of myself and our Office Manager and my Two Daughters, unless you...

Just got back. Taupo was a centre for day trips and the Motor Inn fitted the bill perfectly. It was clean, spacious, well equipped, the staff were helpful and friendly. As the previous post mentioned, the tap on the door in the morning followed by bacon and eggs being delivered was a very nice touch. Rates were very reasonable too. more

The Lake Taupo Motor Inn is not situated on the lake itself so don't expect spectacular views or an interesting setting. What you can expect however, is a level of accommodation which is far superior to the run of the mill motels which line the shore of the lake. We greatly enjoyed our spacious unit (two adults and one child),... more

Good Morning, Thanks for taking the time, to make such informative comments, especially about Taupo and the things you can do in this great town, and the meal you enjoyed. Thanks for complimenting our standards. Over the holiday period, it can get very busy and its nice to hear positive comments!! Caroline

My husband and another couple booked the two bedroom luxury suite for our stay in July 2008. We booked via email and stayed for one night and found the rate to be very reasonable for what we received. We arrived late in the afternoon, we found the Inn very easily and were warmly welcomed. The suite was very new looking... more

I stayed here for a couple of nights in early September with my partner, (based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor) and having stayed in other places in Taupo, I would have to say this is one of the best, particularly in the value for money department. We stayed in one of the upstairs Spa rooms and found it... more
