For the price you get a great deal, much better than same price places in Taupo! Friendly owners, very helpful with everything you might need. The rooms have high ceilings and great natural light. The owners take pride in the cleanliness of the place and it is clean!!! Sitting on the balcony gives you a view of the lake, and... More

We stayed two nights and found the motel comfortable and friendly. The room was not the most contemporary we stayed in during our travels but was clean, comfortable and spacious enough. The bathroom had a (somewhat dated) spa bath which was a nice touch. We didn't actually use it but there was also a table and two chairs on the... More

Perfectly ok for a short stay but room quality no quite up to standard experienced at other motels. Price was slightly less than previous accomodation which may explain. Helpful staff and located 5 min walk from town. Motel is at 90 degrees to lake so no direct views.

We stayed three nights and were delighted with the location of this Motel. The lake swimming is excellent here and we had several swims during our stay. Our top morning was a swim then breakfast on the beach. The staff were very friendly and went out of there way to welcome you to the area. They pointed us to i-site... More

Easy, no fuss and convenient. Friendly helpful staff. Great location being just accross the road from Lake. Taupo is a good night stop over for longer trips and this place was great for a good nights sleep. Across the road is a coffee cart that makes a descent brew right on the waterfront.

Stayed one night - room was clean but decor is getting dated. This motel is more basic than its name suggests. Missing little things like no replacement toilet paper, being given a wrong WIFi password. There is no reason not to stay here, but the Executive is more average than top end.

Clean and tidy good for a one night stay...opposite road from the lake... Ten minute walk into town.. I wouldn't want to stay longer than a couple of days....Pleasant enough place though no hesitation in suggesting it as a place to stay

Value for your money at Executive motel in Taupo, clean room with small kitchen, free wifi, front row at the lake and friendly staff. Short walk to restaurants and shops in downtown Taupo. Laundry is also possible.

Stayed in downstairs, twin unit. Good amount of space, clean and well equipped kitchen area, very clean bathroom. Unit quiet, windows could be left open for fresh air, and beds comfortable. Would stay again. Word of caution - check the shower head before using and adjust if necessary. The unit we stayed in had one of those odd dial shower... More
