We stayed at Lake Taupo Motor inn for 2 nights as a family of 4. We got lucky with the end room which had big windows and a nice view. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms nice and dark with curtains drawn. It was a nice quiet location although still super close and handy to shops, cafes and restaurants. The pool was too cold for my 4 year old however there was also a spa to warm up in. Great stay

Excellent accommodation - highly recommended
Excellent accommodation at a great price. Very clean and spacious well appointed unit. Very close to all amenities in Taupo. Great view of the lake from the balcony. Were fortunate to be upgraded to a superior room. This was our first stay here but will certainly stay here again when staying in Taupo.

The room was fantastic with plenty of parking. The only downside, which really wasnt too bad at all was that the bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were very uncomfortable and hard. Otherwise it was a fantastic stay.

We only stayed for the night so didn’t get to see much of the property but the staff were great, we had an issue driving up that delayed us and stopped me from seeing the missed calls on my phone, I arrived to the reception being closed so I was expecting to have to find another hotel for the night but thankfully the after hours phone was answered and we were quickly checked in. The room was a great size for three people, the beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was great value for money.

Lake Taupo Motor Inn for the Win!
Last minute decision to stay in Taupo for the night instead of carrying on, have stayed here before quite a few times so knew it was a great place anyways, and was a good deal for the night! Friendly staff, easy parking, clean comfortable rooms, walkable to town for a meal etc. Would recommend and will be back!
