Maggie was especially friendly and helpful. She upgraded us since we were staying two nights. The place was very spacious and amenities were good. Very comfortable.
Kasia was very pleasant and a more than helpful host. She offered us an upgraded apt unit upon arrival that had a view of the lake. She also provided us a Firestick for the TV so we could enjoy some well missed Netflix and AppleTv shows during our travels. The apt unit was roomy and super clean with no clutter and had all the amenities needed. We enjoyed the heated spa but didn’t get a chance to enjoy the pool or tennis courts during our stay. The free bikes were a plus, they were fairly...
A motel stay, 5-10-minute walk to central Taupo shops and across a green and street to the lakeshore. The Taupo Sunday market (excellent) is right in front, on the green!
Great views, clean rooms, super friendly staff. Great communication leading up to and during our stay. Would definitely recommend. The only issue we had was that the smoke detector in the room was activated by the shower steam and sent me running out of the shower in a panic.
It is a bit of a hike if you want to walk to town, but the accommodations were wonderful. Great view, and could hear waves lapping the lake at night. Very nice.
Very friendly and attentive host. Impeccable service. Clean and spacious rooms. Wonderful dinner in the B & B: Go for it. It costs 70 Dollars and it is worth every penny!

I called the day before my check-in as I was planning to arrive later than when the front desk was open (they close at 9pm) and she was so pleasant and sweet on the phone. She gave me detailed instructions on how to get what I needed upon arrival to get into my room and where to park on the premises. When I arrived the following night, everything was extremely easy and exactly as Sharon described. The...
What an absolute pleasure to stay at Lake Taupo Lodge. This stylish boutique lodge has a fantastic retro appeal and lake views. We stayed in the Cherrywood suite which was clean, cozy and roomy.
