Very helpful staff. Rooms were heated prior to our arrival. Changed one of our rooms on request. Great location. We have stayed here before and will do so again. Good value for money, as much as could be expected in the price bracket.
Located in Taupo, The Village Resort provides air-conditioned rooms and barbecue facilities. This property also provides guests with a children's playground.

Host accommodating with pool hours. My daughter missed out on using the hot pools at night. So I asked the host if we could use the pool in the morning before we checked out. She opened the hot pool earlier than normal hours which is great. My daughter had so much fun swimming.
Rooms are spacious, and have everything we need.

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.
Loved our stay at The Hilton Taupo. Our room had an amazing sweeping views across the lake to the mountains. We stayed in a 1bdrm apartment which was the perfect size for our young family of 3. The room was a fantastic size so we could all stay comfortably. The pool and gym is great and very clean, gardens beautifully kept. But the staff are the best thing we think; from front desk to house keeping everyone was very helpful, laid back but attentive, warm, friendly and professional at every exchange. We will def go back.
We loved every aspect of our stay at Hilltop Whakaipo. The place was comfy, nice, and clean. The breakfast was great as well as the hosts. We were fortunate to have some morning tour around the farm and it was a lifetime experience too as someone who grows up and lives in city. I would recommend this place for everyone who are planning a trip to Lake Taupo. Although it’s a bit far from the downtown, close enough to enjoy a scenic drive and you will enjoy the view of Lake Taupo from distance too.
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.
This was a last-minute find after another booking cancelled due to Cyclone Gabrielle damage, and we were very pleasantly surprised to find it in such prime location right on Lake Taupo, with nice walking path at lake's edge, a nice pool, walking distance to restaurant at Two Mile Bay Sailing Club, short drive to downtown, and a spacious 2-story unit that felt like a nice apartment. Helpful management & staff. Wish we'd had more than one night to stay and enjoy this fabulous find!!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lake Taupo apartments, located opposite the lake and a short drive from town. The apartment was spacious, modern and comfortable, the kitchen in particular was well equipped for anyone wishing to self cater. The bedroom and bathroom had extra blankets and towels and a washer/dryer and ironing facilities, always handy when travelling! We also had a nice verandah to relax and unwind at the end of the day.
beautifully set up, furnishings were lovely, very comfortable bed, fantastic location - view over the lake, quiet location, easy drive to the lake, local shops and Taupo itself.
All the little extras were a nice touch - so much nicer than a normal motel room, and so spacious.
We would love to have made use of the outdoor area / bbq, but it wasn’t the weather for it. very warm and cosy j side though!
Highly recommended!
Great location for what we were in Taupo to do. Parking was off road and secure. Great access to the lake front walking track. View of the lake was obscured but nice. Pillows in the rooms were amazing and so comfortable. Great air conditioning in the room, which was definitely needed on this trip. Two bathrooms was great to accommodate different family members getting ready at the same time.
The Motel sits directly at Lake Taupo. A short stroll from the town centre and all amenities. 10-12 min from Airport (by car). Even the Motel is located on the main road, the road isn't that busy at night, therefore a good uninterrupted sleep is possible. Carpark direct at property.
Lady at reception and Housekeeping ladies very friendly and helpful.
It was just steps from Lake Taupō, kitchenette, great A/C; we had The Nook (smallest unit in the corner but perfect size for two), free washer/$2 dryer, free ice just steps from our door. Very clean, sofa, small kitchen table/chairs, good value. Kayaks and bikes available to rent on property.
The staff was super friendly and kind. The room was huge and very very clean. We had a room with spa bath which was great too! I was surprised that all the beds had an electric blankets. Everything you want was there!
I will definitely go back when I stay at Taupo. Thank you!!
We’re very happy to stay in this motel. Bed comfortable, nice & clean. Good location, few minutes walk to Taupo lake. Shops & restaurants around, Thai restaurant next door. Friendly staff, great smiles & show us around. We’re love this motel & will come back again
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 😊
A great view of Lake Taupo and the mountains from the room. This Motel is clean and tidy and the rooms are a good size. The Motel is in walking distance to the town, bars and restaurants. Would recommend.
The location was great. A two minute walk from a beautiful swimming beach on Lake Taupo. The unit was nice and big, like a small apartment. So much better than staying in one room with no room to move.
Amazing location, great layout, super friendly and engaging hosts. Excellent breakfast and BEST views over Lake Taupo. So close to the City and yet still far enough to feel peace & quiet.
Wonderful, relaxing, very well appointed. Definitely worth choosing over the hotels by the lake we were considering. Love the hot tub, everything was extremely clean, just perfect.
Quite a handy location, just in front of lake Taupo. Accessibility of the motel and walking distance to the City Center and commercial areas. The staff was supportive.
