We found Chalet Suisse by chance...and what a find. It has a view over the lake to the distant, snow-capped mountains, and yet is not on a busy road. It has a swimming pool and hot tub and each appartment has outdoor space. Inside the accommodation is VERY spacious, duplex with a large, well-equipped kitchen and living area, huge bedroom... More

Some people expect 5 * at 3* prices, but this is probably as near as you can get! It is a typical motel, with a nice pool, and various variants of rooms. The rooms are fully equipped ( including sky, and wi-fi available, at a small charge). It is central and there are two good restaurants next door on the... More

We stayed here February 2009 when there were three of us, but this time we booked on line (via the AA system I believe) needing accommodation for two. The on line system works well as it shows which units are available but you need a map of the property to see exactly where your unit is. The welcome as before... More

"December 2011 - stayed one night when motel occupancy seemed to be just under 50%. A very clean front row "studio" unit for two persons with a superb vista looking down the lake to the distant mountains. There's also an attractive pool area. Other Taupo moteliers must be envious of this key site - slightly elevated - and its close... More
