We stayed in a King room and it was spacious, comfortable and clean. Bed linen was luxurious and the room tastefully decorated. We had drinks in the bar tended by a friendly and wine knowledgeable Bar/Restaurant Manager and followed this by dinner in their restaurant. The bar and restaurant area has fantastic views over lake Taupo and a big open... More

Great Parking, clean and quiet rooms - with a very good English Style Pub/restaurant just down the road (Jolly Good Fellows) Clean and tidy and a great nights sleep - good amenities and a great shower! Liked the log cabin effect.

Having stayed here for 2 nights where we were upgraded to a Queen room we found this little hotel to fit all our needs. It is ideally located on lake Taupo, around 10 mins walk to the town centre which means everything you need is only a short stroll away. Rooms were originally decorated in a log cabin design with...

When checking in we were told we were in a small room. Well they weren't exagerating. There wasn't room to swing a cat. The bed was pushed to one wall and I had to climb on the bed to let my husband walk past me in the only bit of space there was. These rooms shouldn't be let to couples.... More

This Lodge has prime position on the main road looking over Great Lake Taupo. We had a Queen room which was immaculately clean, roomy enough for two with a en suite bathroom. The decor is very much like a log cabin, with wooden interior walls. There is a very nice outside area for BBQ with a spa and small swimming... More

Lovely hotel, nice and friendly staff and location great, a few minutes walk from the centre and just across the road from the lake. Probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! Only downside was the walls are a bit thin so you can hear next doors goings on (I had a crying baby next door... More

I stayed at the Caboose Lodge for five days and I have nothing to complain about. The staff were very friendly and went out of there way to help. The rooms were a little dated but were clean and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was much better than expected and the view from the restaurant is second to none.... More
