    I'm a bit bias because my parents used to live in Taupo and we spent a lot of time in Taupo. Love Taupo for its vibrant feel, the eateries, the scenery of course the shops and the lake. Everything about Taupo is great. Could live there but we live in Australia.

    Lake Taupo is simply stunning.

    Lake Taupo is simply stunning. A gorgeous lake with mountain views. Clear blue waters which are clean and safe to swim. Water temperature was 21c during our (February) which is just fine for a dip. So good that parking by the lake was free! Saves the hassle of finding change / or downloading whatever parking app! And the town offers so many excellent cafes, shops and bars all within a short walk away. Plus it feels safe to walk and everywhere is so clean. Including the air! Huka Falls are a must-see-place - just 6 or so km from the hotel to drive and check out Rangatira Park Lookout on the way if time (picture of view of the Lake from the lookout).

    Taupo was a great stop for us.

    Taupo was a great stop for us. The Huka jet boat was great fun and worth the money.The falls are great and a must visit. Craters of the Moon was also worth seeing. There is good shopping in town, much more than we expected, and some nice cafes/restaurants.

    Taupo has been a holiday destination for me for over 50 years and never ceases to amaze. Stays have always been very good and the lake and the surrounding areas offer much for varying travellers on any budget

    There was a market day with many artists and craftspeople showing their wares. The restaurants on the waterfront were buzzing. We went to Baku because it was the closest to where we parked. It was a great choice and we both had a late breakfast there before continuing our travel. We really didn't spend any time other than the market and brunch as we were passing through. I will stay a couple of days on my next visit to look around further. There is plenty to do if you make the time.

    AWESOME, FRIENDLY OWNER!! Thank you Jo!! Had to reschedule my booking at the last minute and it was a no shame no hassle process. Loved the decor & colour scheme in the room. Gave it a modern feel. Added lights/fairy lights around the premises, eg. On the children's park added a lovely touch. Pool & spa pool onsite, guest laundry at no extra cost is a bonus. Close to lots of Taupo attractions & sight seeing.

    Super friendly staff -- the owners run the place themselves -- and a delightful garden with space aplenty for all the guests. It's one block from the shore of Lake Taupo. The presence of geothermal hot water means that rooms have a spigot to their own quickly-filled patio hot tubs, which is an amenity like few I've ever encountered. The building itself is older and a bit creaky, but even that has its charm.

    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.

    Very comfortable and spacious rental with kitchen and bathroom and a bedroom. We loved the view from the balcony on the top floor and the location was perfect for our short stay at Lake Taupo! It was within walking distance of all the restaurants and bars. Very clean and the kitchen had everything that we needed.

    Our Hosts Peter & Michelle were amazing! Very sociable and humble couple. The Lakeview room was top notch, beats any hotel room in Taupo. Freshly cooked bacon & Eggs, hash browns plus barista style coffee - Best I’ve had outside of Wellington. The views are cherry on the cake. Definitely staying there again.

    well sized mini apartments with great kitchen facilities. Very contemporary, clean and well appointed, our unit would have suited two couples or family of 4. Quiet location just outside the shopping area of Taupo but within walking distance. Instantly contactable friendly staff by phone.

    The hotel is well positioned in Taupo. The facilities are great and staff very attentive. The resturant catered well for us as a family. Although we didn’t have our dog with us, it was lovely to see others with their pets staying at the hotel.

    We have chosen Acacia Lakeview Motel twice in the last couple of visits to Taupo and won’t hesitate to stay there in the future. The units are clean and tidy and well appointed. The Motel is a short 5 min walk ti bars and restaurants.

    Chevron Motel is an exceptionally clean and well maintained property located within walking distance to Taupo CBD shops and restaurants. Bonus of this property is the view down the lake to the mountains from the upstairs rooms.

    A wonderful place to spend a short or long holiday on Lake Taupo. A unique family and charming atmosphere. A perfect place for a couple, not for a family with children, which increases the quality of relaxation,

    The host for fantastic and very informative. It was located in the coolest area on lake Taupo, where the geothermal goes into the cold lake. Walking distance to a restaurant and beautiful trail.
