Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great room, staff very welcoming. Had a thermal spa room which had everything you would need for a relaxing stay. Highly recommended "

Lakefront Lodge Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodation is in a great area walkable to town or great walks in other direction. Lakefront. Room very clean, bedding/beds appeared very new. Warm. Great little hot tub - didn't have time to try the pool - but was heated. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Some room features a bit tired - but to be expected at this price-point. I can imagine downstairs rooms a bit noisy if upstairs rooms occupied. Would definately stay again. "
