We stayed in a one bedroom unit for $159. Fitout appears quite cheap at first, but the rooms are large and have pretty much everything you would expect. Spa bath and large shower (although temperature of water fluctuated during shower). Small; non-widescreen TVs in both lounge and bedroom. Warning - external aircon units are very noisy and deep 50hz rumble... more

This motel was refreshingly modern and spacious with excellent service. Was perfect for my business stay in Taupo. Had unlimited broadband in unit and despite the cold outside the unit was lovely and warm thanks to the undefloor heating. The breakfast panini was delicious! Will definitely return. more

Alpine Lake Motor Lodge is a lovely motel - newly decorated rooms, very clean and quiet. The bathroom was very spaceous and nicely appointed. It's a short walk to restaurants and shops. The owners are extremely helpful - with suggestions for sightseeing, shops, etc. The guest laundry was very convenient and the internet access was easy to use and fast!... more

You can't go wrong with staying at this great lodge, the owners Sue and Ron are exceptionally friendly and provide great service (from brochures, maps and travel advice, to internet access, milk and newspapers!). It's only a 5 minute walk to the main shops and lake, the rooms are new and have a modern decor and are very clean (we... more

We stayed here for one night in March, it was lovely. The location was really good, just outside of the town centre and very peaceful. The room was modern, spacious and spotlessly clean. There was a kitchen area which included a microwave and there was also free broadband access. Would recommend a stay here and we would definitely go back more

When we pulled up I was a bit worried as it seemed miles from anywhere on a very quiet residential street, but it is actually only about 5 minutes walk from the lake shore. The apartment had a small kitchen, but no cooker only a microwave. A fantastic bathroom with spa bath and separate shower. The rooms are non smoking... more

In terms of the hotel I can do no better than point you to the excellent and accurate observations of "Parsanias', posted on 26th February. My one disagreement is over the noise of the aircon fan , which caused us no problems at all and my wife is a light sleeper. Also I think it is probably a 15 minute... more

Alpine Lake Motor Lodge is an entirely typical NZ motel - clean, modern with a friendly and locally knowledgeable hands-on owner. The motel is in the mainly residential zone of one of Taupo’s main arteries, with many other motels as neighbours. It’s a ten-minute walk to the lakeshore and the shops. The rooms are arranged on two floors in a... more

As a frequent business traveller to Taupo I have recently discovered this motel which I consider the best in town. Service is great, units are exceptionally well equipped, clean and spacious. All units are away from road noise, parking is oustide the door of unit and I can walk to any of the many good local restaurants. Their cafe breakfast... more
