Lake Taupo Holiday Resort
Oasis Beach Motel
"Heat pump is dead, the carpets need attention, as you open the doors, they was a bad smell of either moisture or unclean carpets or maybe doors were never opened for a while. The reception staff were so helpful. If those areas I mentioned are taken into consideration and addressed, it is a good place ..."

Lakefront Lodge Taupo
"Nice and clean, though not sure I would call it a studio, just a standard room, with jug, and mini fridge. Nice view, and staff were great."

Beechtree Motel
"Wonderful to stay back at Beechtree - it is a favourite over the years when staying in Taupo and never fails to bring relaxation in a handy to the town but quiet location. The staff are friendly and the rooms comfortable and sparkling clean. We totally recommend it to other travellers."
