Acacia Lake View Motel is just 300-metres from Taupo Town Centre and a 5 minute Tauhara Golf Course. Taupo Airport is a 10-minute drive away. Incredible motel right at the town center of Taupo. The studio room was squeaky clean, bed was comfortable and the small kitchen was plenty for what we needed. The owners could not have been nicer! Seriously some of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Very helpful, informative and most of all kind. Each room has a parking spot.

Offering panoramic views of Lake Taupo, the luxurious self catering apartments at Baycrest Thermal Lodge feature free Wi-Fi and satellite TV. The shores of Lake Taupo are only 100 meters away.

Local attractions include the famous Huka falls, which is 5.2 km away from the hotel, plus many water sports sites and the volcanic regions of Taupo. Great location, a short drive to the central part of town. Our room had a lake view, which you can enjoy from a covered and heated balcony, which gives it a plus if you go in winter. The room itself was really comfortable and every detail was well thought out. The spa pool was divine and the place was an oasis to relax. I'll definitely stay there again.

The property features garden and city views, and is 37 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park.

She made a terrific, hearty breakfast including fresh bread, eggs, coffee with all options of milk, and even offered vegetarian breakfast options to my vegetarian guest. She readily offered fruit from her fruit tree and fresh smoothies every day. She let us do our laundry for free, moved cars around when we struggled to back out, and offered recommendations for the city. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to everyone I know. Nanette is so sweet and kind, it's truly like staying with family.

Hopwood Bed & Breakfast is situated in Taihape and has recently renovated accommodation, a kitchenette and mountain views. This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a housekeeping service and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. Located down a lonely road, high up in the hills, above the tiny town of Taihape. Talk about quiet, with stunning views all around. Leah met us when we arrived, showed us around and gave dinner suggestions. The accommodations were spotless and well maintained. Breakfast was already in the room and Leah thought of everything. She met us the next morning and showed us her prized Sheep and gave us some tips on what to see as we travelled South.
