My family stayed there 2 nights. Once one the way to Auckland from Wellington and again on the way back. It was fantastic to relax in a mineral spa after a day in the car. more

We had a good welcome to this establishment by a highly excitable owner. But that is where good ended. We stayed in Room 10. So comments are for this room and general observations. First lets look at their website: "Comfortable and modern spa accommodation" Comfortable was someone else's opinion obviously. The bed felt like it should have been replaced eons... more

What you are really paying for here is the mineral pool. My husband and I went away to Taupo for the night to unwind. The room was very clean but a little small and also cold we turned the heater on and went out to get dinner when we got back it was toasty warm. The bed was very comfortable... more

We were there two nights, when checking in the host wasnt particularly welcoming, only managed a few grunts out of him. We had a 1 bedroom unit, with the thermal fillable pool, which is only fillable after 5pm (disappointing). The Main outside "heated" swimming pool was absolutely freezing so the kids were let down with that as they were all... more

I have been staying at the Lakefront Motor Lodge for many years while on my business travels. Ken and Kumiko are simply wonderful hosts. Very accomodating helpful and friendly. They take their business seriously and pride themselves upon making every visit to Taupo memorable. Certainly the motel is an older style but the owners are always making improvements and updating... more

We turned up on spec seeking accommodation for 2 nights. The owner was able to offer us a different apartment for each night necessitating a move upstairs for the 2nd night. We paid $159 per night. The furnishings and fixtures are a bit dated and tired but the apartments are clean. There were good kitchen appliances. There was no view... more

Our arrival at the motel was rather late and after regular office hours. The moteliers however, welcomed us warmly and communicated clearly how and where we would be able to check in should the office already be closed. The room we stayed in was extreamly spacious with a gorgeous outlook towards the lake and surrounding mountains. The atmosphere and room... more
