Triple room booked which was extremely small and absolutely no room for luggage or to sit anywhere but beds. Room description extremely misleading. We did not stay

Good, clean room. Shower could have used more water pressure but can't be helped. Motel needs more parking. Otherwise, great location and cheap stay. Service was great, including the fluffy little gentleman at reception who graciously accepted pats!

Decent accommodation in great location
This is a great option in Taupo. Price was very competitive and we enjoyed a good 3 night stay here. Good location, good shower and decent Wi-Fi. The walls and ceilings are thin! On the ground floor we could hear all footsteps etc from above, thankfully no one was next door but the corridor was noisy. Thankfully we had good neighbours, it was obvious how different that could be with children next door, parties etc.

Decent, affordable accommodation if you are looking for a short term stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful, however the room we stayed in was on the bottom floor and we were woken up very early by the people in the room above us as we could hear their footsteps loudly from below. The bed and pillows were also not great but alright for the price.

Unfortunately we had to pack up our stuff and sleep in our car on our first night as we discovered bed bugs. We bought this to the attention of the staff as soon as the reception opened. We had to show the staff how to spot bed bugs which was concerning. Unfortunately they were unable to reallocate us to another room/property so we were refunded. The room itself was dated and dirty. There was still hair in the bathroom sink and crumbs on the carpet. Staff were lovely and helpful but after our horrifying bed bug experience we won’t be back.

Room was very small, which was manageable- but there were just a small list of things to fix, to really lift our rating. Needed: Two sturdy bedside tables, two bedside lights, ceiling fan, bathroom cabinet, and fix dripping toilet. Simple fixes would make a big difference.

Can walk to downtown. Lodge faces lake(though no rooms have lake views). Rooms a bit worn with poor lighting. Nice restaurant.

My kids loved the pool and spa, the staff were lovely and helpful and it is right next to the lake. The room was much smaller than anticipated, the shower was mouldy and we found items in the room from previous visitors. It was quite hard to sleep as all the noise came right through from the upstairs guests.

When we came early, we couldn’t check in cause they’re still cleaning. Pool was small, it was shown in the pic to be bigger. The room had loose window handles, loose coat hangers, no microwave so be ready to bring money to eat out. If you’re staying at the bottom floor, you can definitely hear the footsteps or turning on the water of others in their respective rooms. Only one window, it was really hot. The view to the lake is selective, we had a view of a corner literally dirt and plants.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Loved the pool and hot tub. Close to the center of Taupo. The downside was that the staff started cleaning surrounding rooms at 6am and loudly knocking on each door before entering.
