Loved our stay in this motel, lovely and helpful staff, great location and amazing retro furniture!

Sorry small room. The foot of our bed was only feet away from the public footpath and the road. Didn't enjoy our one night stay at all. Stayed in New Zealand for 3 weeks and this is the only place I would not go back to. Need blackout lining for the curtains as not very thick and let all the... More

I arrived with the option of a free upgrade from a excellent room to a really excellent room. (particularly exciting since I had never been upgraded in my life!) I had a Living room/kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom. The decor was modern and the small details of how the towels were folded in the bathroom and bedroom...and how things were... More

We can only add to the previously good reports on this motel, run by a very friendly couple. Our accommodation consisted of a bedroom and a sitting room, both decorated in the signature classy retro style. Upon arrival the hostess was very ambitious about advising us what to do in the Taupo area and where to have dinner, and we... More

The location is a little out of the centre of town but then the town isn't much anyway. The rooms are good size and when adjusted for the cost are very good value for money. The service is good and the experience very enjoyable. No breakfast though

The rooms are superb - each with its own style and all very clean and tidy with everything you could... More

Located a short stroll from Lake Taupo is this spotlessly clean and spacious accommodation. It feels like a classy B&B but without the breakfast. Cooking facilities are included. The road can get busy but the bedroom is out the back so no problems with noise. The premises are located within a residential area so there are no nightclubs or noisy... More

We stayed at The Lake on our way to and from a 90th birthday party in Marton in September. There seems to be lots of really nice places to stay in Taupo but we were so pleased we chose The Lake, we loved it. and It was only a short walk down to the lakefront which was beautiful. The apartments(we... More
