Great eating out, some a little overpriced however. Monday is a very quiet night for eating out!
For a good unpretentious meal try Cobb and Co. The Vine has a vast range of goodies. The Indian restaurants are all good.

A very nice town.
A very nice town. Small enough to be charming, large enough to have many choices for nearby activities and dining. We stayed here as a base for seeing things in Rotorua as well which was only a hour drive away, though some of the best thermal parts near Rotorua are only 40 minutes away.

1-2 days maximum is more than enough.
1-2 days maximum is more than enough. Food their is great and beautiful coffee, but do keep in mind everything is expensive as it is a tourist spot. Otherwise great location to visit. I visited Huka falls and Wairakei terrace hot pools which was an amazing experience.

Good selection of activities and a beautiful lake to swim in or take a boat ride. Many choices of restaurants and cafes serving up good tasty food. Lots of retail shops catering for clothing, souvenirs, charity shops, churches and a great library.

Was not in Taupo long but what I saw looked good. Smaller town with a nice atmosphere. Plenty of places to eat, things to see and do. Getting around Taupo in peak hours is a challenge so time your travel.

We just wanted the best affordable accommodation as we were passing through to spend the day with family then returned again the next night. Loved having a comfortable and spacious hotel type room to relax in after a long drive.
We stayed at many hotels during our tour of New Zealand. Lake Taupo Motor Inn stands out as the best of the best. Why? Because it ticks all the boxes - friendly staff (they let us check-in early - really appreciated this), a quick and stress-free check-in, huge rooms (with a patio!), fantastic location - town center and the lake both a short walk away. Can park right up to your room, makes things much easier with heavy suitcases, And great value for money. It deserves all the stars.
The photos gave an impression it was self-contained room and wasnt but I did book in a hurry and last minute, have stayed in exactly same style properties who actually provided coffee making facilities, utensils and a fridge in the room which again I'm sure was advertised as having when selecting property, will note another 2 properties stayed at similar to here were approx. $40NZD cheaper per night.
Very well equipped unit! Nice walking distance to both downtown Taupo and my uncle's home. Being by the lake with a view was a bonus! The managers were really friendly and had several good tips for breakfast and dinner spots in town. We were so happy with the free laundry, especially after a muddy few days in the Tongariro National Park. We would definitely choose Sails on a next visit to Taupo.
Fantastic location, great spa bath, comfortable bed, excellent air conditioning unit that doesn’t dry out your throat or blow directly on you and lovely private balcony with views of the lake. We’ve stayed at many hotels in Taupo over the years whenever we’re in the country and this is definitely one of the best so far!
One of our favourite hostels we stayed in. The private room was small but perfect. 2 toilets and showers per 4 rooms. Lovely big kitchen and dining area, and nice smaller area to chill out in. There's a board with free/cheap suggestions of what to do in Taupo. Lovely garden with hammocks, and a very cute hostel dog.
Great view of the lake, warm, quiet room, and lots of recommendations on local eateries and bars etc. Great to be able to bring Pixie along as well. Pixie is our little white maltese dog. She was very respectful and comfortable as well. Will be back again and have recommended your hotel to family and friends
Warm and friendly welcome. Secure off street parking in well located premises in a quiet location. Luxurious suite with balcony having wonderful views over Lake Taupo. Very clean and comfortable unit, with an especially comfortable bed. Deserved recognition as Top Five NZ Motel and highly recommended
Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.
We stayed here 3 years ago before the pandemic and then again last week. A complete reduction in services, staff,etc., but it works for us. Great little vacation home rather than a motel/ hotel room. The weather was terrible so we stayed an extra day.
Cleanliness
Easy access to town & surrounding tourist sites
Huge house & at a cheaper rate compared to area hotels during our period of stay.
Complete household amenities. Comfortable beds.
Easy check-in & hosts are easy to contact & reply readily.
Loved the view! Easy walking along the lake promenade, and restaurant food was excellent 😊 The room was the cleanest we’ve ever seen in an NZ motel/hotel. Not a cobweb or dust in sight, and no mould in the bathroom! Excellent 😊
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though NZ is becoming more pet friendly, choices are limited if you can’t leave your four footed family member at home. We find Cascades to be the best pet friendly motel in Taupo.
Being across the road from the lake and easy walking distance into Taupo town center,
Malcolm was a great host and our double apartment was finished to a high standard.
We will definitely stay again when in Taupo.
A wonderful place to spend a short or long holiday on Lake Taupo. A unique family and charming atmosphere. A perfect place for a couple, not for a family with children, which increases the quality of relaxation,
The room was beautifully presented. The hotel location is on the lake about 4km from the town of Taupo. The staff were lovely. Breakfast selection of freshly prepared fruit was very good. Room AC worked well.
This is a great stay right across from the lake - room is clean and exactly as described. Thumbs up to the couple managing the office and front desk of the hotel- very friendly and helpful. Book it!
Beautiful hotel, great location, amazing views over Lake Taupo and very peaceful. Everything is well sound proofed and warm. Spotlessly clean and everything in fantastic shape.
