Best hotels & accommodations in Taupo
Booked for a standard cabin with ensuite and expected an oldish cabin but we actually got a 2 bedroom cabin with ensuite and it was modern and very clean. Had everything we needed and the cabins were really warm. Definitely kept us warm in a very cold weather. Had enough space for my 15 mnth old bub to walk around while inside.

Had a wonderful stay at the Hilton Lake Taupo Hotel. The staff were outstanding and really did all they could to made our stay enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We booked this venue for my family's recent trip to Taupo and it was the one of the best equipped accommodation from our trip. My wife personally felt that the venue is really thoughtful with the various items provided. The receptionist was courteous and helpful. Family also spent time at the spa bath - a good plus. It is a short drive away from the eateries and thus, we do appreciate the quiet surroundings and there is an English bar just down the road. Within a short walk, we are at Lake Taupo where we witnessed some lovely sunsets. It is also close to the jetty and also the supermarket, making this a wonderful stay for my family with young kids. highly recommended.
I enjoyed my stay at Ascot Motor Inn thoroughly and the hospitality provided by Mr Graeme. The room was always a comfort to return to after a day of sightseeing in the Lake Taupo area.

Mr Graeme the owner was helpful and I am grateful to him for offering me a ride to the town centre on the day i checked out as it was raining and i was prepared to lug my luggage and take a walk in the rain to the bus stop. I wish Mr Graeme and Ascot Motor Inn all the best for the future and I will definitely book Ascott Motor Inn if I ever visit Lake Taupo again.
This is the best affordable hotel we stay for 16 days in New Zealand. It's locate in quiet area yet near to the town, lake and Huka Falls with breath taking view. The hotel is super clean, equip with coffee making facilities, iron, microwave, balcony and private car park. The bathroom is huge, clean and with modern design.

For the price we paid we're pretty sure we got one of the best views/stays at a hotel in Taupo that we've had thus far (and we come here often). The bed was comfortable, the TV worked well, the internet was great, and the takeaways from the restaurant were amazing. I don't know why'd you pay double or more for anything else when you'd get exactly the same. This place i...

The bed was comfortable, the TV worked well, the internet was great, and the takeaways from the restaurant were amazing. I don't know why'd you pay double or more for anything else when you'd get exactly the same. This place is a bargain. There's also a pool and spa (which we didn't use) that were in great condition. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful and overall our stay was great. Would highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to stay!
You can't ask for too much when you pay not much. Base Taupo is close to the i-site Taupo and the Intercity bus stop. The staff there are friendly and helpful. In terms of facilities, it would be better if there were hooks on the wall for hanging clothes as well as a small table in the room.
It is about 1.2km from Taupo town. But it’s quiet, at least on the top room we stayed. We had a no disturb sign, and left the room at like 1pm. And when we came back in the evening, they did our room!!!!, which was totally unexpected. Wifi was super fast, although limited to 5GB only. Checkin and out took seconds, house keeping always did our rooms very good. If you wa...

And when we came back in the evening, they did our room!!!!, which was totally unexpected. Wifi was super fast, although limited to 5GB only. Checkin and out took seconds, house keeping always did our rooms very good. If you walk out, you will have the lake infront of you, not to mention the beautiful views from your room, if you book the top room with view. Will definitely stay there again.

Staff were so amazing & so understanding as we couldnt check out on time due to food preparations taking abit longer than we thought but told us to take as much time as we needed at no extra charge. You dont get that often & would definitely be back aswell as all our family members we took. Thank you so much for the hospitality & hopefully be back again soon.
After 8 hotels in 20 days. This was by far the best one. With staff that could not of been more helpful, to an amazing view from our spa suite. Will be staying here upon our next visit!!
We booked a private twin room at Bob's Hostel for a Monday night. We had no issues with noise. The room was huge with two single beds, a private bathroom with hot shower and an electric heater. Due to the size of the room the heater didn't heat us up much, thankfully the hostel provides plenty of duvets and blankets to keep you warm in winter. Location is excellent for...

Due to the size of the room the heater didn't heat us up much, thankfully the hostel provides plenty of duvets and blankets to keep you warm in winter. Location is excellent for getting around Taupo and close to main bus stops. The staff also let us store our luggage until late in the afternoon.
We had a fantastic trip to Lake Taupo. Great little hotel, high quality facilities and very comfortable beds. Walking distance to bars and restaurants but a decent kitchen you could make breakfast if you wanted to. We highly recommend this hotel and Taupo, much nicer than Rotorua town, great holiday feel.
Very comfortable and clean room. Quite, ample free parking, across the street from the beach. Great location to explore Taupo. The only complaint is in asking for a later checkout. As is typical in New Zealand, checkout time is 10am. I requested a later check out time and was told that 10:45am would be the latest. Personally, I am in favor of whole hour rounding....

The whole apartment was nice, clean and comfortable. However it would be better if equipt with portable heater in the bedroom The bath room a bit odd, large empty room split with tiny shower room and toilet. Parking was convenient next to front door and we did not get wet We did not try the hot pool coz it was raining all day in taupo and too cold around 5c
Tony (the owner) was very friendly and welcoming, and he even gave us some milk when we arrived. He also showed us all the places to go in Taupo and booked for us the skydive and everything else.

Thank you very much Tony, and also the other lady who took care of us while Tony was away golfing.
this is one of our favouroite hotels in taupo. it has stunning lakeside views. the furnishings are great and compliments the room well. we love the landscaping. the breakfast is delicious and there's even free dvd rentals for entertainment. the bathroom is a bit small and the shower is a little bit cramp however.
Aside from having your own jacuzzi in the room, Chantillys has great and accommodating owners/staff. It also has a great location where it isn’t too busy or noisy, but you have easy access to Taupo lake, places to eat and a grocery.
We were 4 people and a baby and this place was excellent value for money. The view to Lake Taupo was amazing as we were pretty much just off the lakeside. The place was clean and both bedrooms were excellent quality. The rooms with views got very hot in the sunshine but an air conditioner was provided so this was not a big problem for us.
I really loved this hostel. It's brand new and everything is really high quality. The kitchen is so big and fully stocked, the lounge is great, there's a hot tub, outdoor areas, great view, and is just a few minutes' walk to the lake and to the town center.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Actually, I checked out of my room at the required time of 10am, but was leaving Taupo on the bus at 1:30am. The staff were nice enough to keep my bag in reception till 8pm, when they closed. I got my bags but just hung out on their comfy sofas in the lounge, watching tv and using their fast, free wifi until midnight, when the lounge closed. This was way above and beyond what I expected! Oh, and my room, a private with ensuite bathroom, was impeccably clean, new, and had a tv. The other guests were very respectful and stuck to the quiet hours so I had a great time and definitely highly recommend!
nice location, a short walk from 'the strip'. The place has been recently updated/refreshed making it feel very clean. Good amount of space for the 11 month child to toddle around in. Baby cot was free (I think). Would recommend but think the standard in taupo is quite high generally looking around
We were upgraded to a bigger room. Plus points for that. No formal reception area so need to call in charge with number provided to check in. Room clean and tidy. No major issues. Area surrounded by other villas. Quite safe location. Not near lake taupo but view is great.
Suncourt is an awesome place to stay at. Its close to everything you want. Their pools are amazing and the room we stayed in was enormous. Most of all restaurant nexts door breakfast was free for kids with a paying adult. I would definitely come back to this hotel when im in Taupo.

Most of all restaurant nexts door breakfast was free for kids with a paying adult. I would definitely come back to this hotel when im in Taupo. There's also heaps of carpark for you truckies and big families travelling with alot of cars. So if your in Taupo and looking for a hotel come to this place. You will have a time of your life and they didnt pay me to say that lol.
One of the best hostels in NZ I've stayed in. Lovely chill vibe, fully equipped kitchen, good unlimited wifi, free filter coffee with fresh milk, board games, TV lounge with DVDs, sauna(!), lovely house dog and friendly staff etc. etc. What is there not to love?!
We used 8 B&Bs for 10 nights, and 6 hotels/motels for 7 nights of our trip around New Zealand. We stayed at the Karaka Tree for two nights and it was clearly the best hotel/motel within our budget range.
Location of the hotel is perfect for guests to stroll along the beautiful Taupo lake and explore the city center. Host is very friendly and hospitality. Ample equipment and facilities are provided in the room. Convenient for self-cooking.
Worth every penny! Location was perfect not to far from the city centre and taupo lake water front. The room was nice, comfortable and modern. Also very private which was perfect.
Very good place to stay at Taupo. Cooking facilities is really great. We can enjoy lake view from our dining room. Really awsome apartment.
I've been travelling thru nz and this hostel is the best! (no "one of") I stay here everytime when I'm back to Taupo! Everything is perfect and the beds are definitely the most comfortable among all the nz hostels! Love the cute hostel dog! Friendly staff, clean kitchen and big but cozy common area! Small tips: the merch of the hostel are AWESOME!

We had a very good rest after long day of a bus ride from Auckland. The unit is pretty clean and thanks to the housekeeping team. The hotel has few parking spaces. The hotel is located at very convenient area which is pretty close to the shops and restaurants. Most of them are within walking distance. I had very pleasant stay at Bella Vista and I would stay again at Bella if I have a chance to visit Taupo. I would definitely recommend this motel to everyone.

Towel hire $2 so worth it, big water absorbing towel!! Pretty much facing Lake Taupo and Thea and the other male receptionist were extremely nice, friendly and answers all questions although special note to male receptionist-no the alpine crossing is defo not easy esp in winter, be prepared before you go, haha Cons: Mattress very very noisy, springy and uncomfortable (this was a big problem for me and everyone in the room) AND 4 plug points in the room to 7 beds (wasn't a major problem for me but one chick found it annoying) Thanks Tiki for your kind hospitality!
The staff and the bar make this the best place to stay in Taupo. They are willing to answer every question you have and help you make the best decision for what you want to do for your individual situation. They also have the cheapest bar in Taupo which is great after you're exhausted from hiking or other activities. The beds were simple so nothing to brag about there ...

The stuff was incredibly nice and the beds super comfortable. The owner makes sure that everything is clean and offers a free drop off and pick up service into town. I really enjoyed my stay.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is a few blocks back from the lake but within walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants. Parking available and very quiet with spacious rooms. Comfortable beds, decent breakfast and nice living area with stereo and TV. Would definitely stay here again.

It is not expensive and a marvelous experience. We enjoyed staying here .

The owners/staff were very friendly and were even giving us tips on which places to visit when we are there. I would give them 5 star on the quality of stay.

I enjoyed my stay at the Dunrovin Motel in Taupo. Everything was as it should be. The unit I had booked was clean and spacious. The bed was particularly comfortable, as the matress was bit firmer than the usual very soft NZ beds. -- The motel is located close to the city centre, and only a few minutes' drive from the Huka Falls and associated activities & sights. -- ...

Very enjoyable stay, although far too short!! If and when we return to New Zealand again, we will certainly spemd more time in Taupo and book the Bayview Wairakei Resort again.

It is a short drive away from the eateries and thus, we do appreciate the quiet surroundings and there is an English bar just down the road. Within a short walk, we are at Lake Taupo where we witnessed some lovely sunsets. It is also close to the jetty and also the supermarket, making this a wonderful stay for my family with young kids. highly recommended.
Excellent location lakeside, with an easy walk to town. Our unit was clean and comfortable, with very good facilities. The complimentary breakfast turned out to be even better than we expected as there were cooked options available also, making our stay very good value for money. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Couch was broken, bed was uncomfortable, door was broken, kitchen very dated, no sky movies. Hot tub was great and the full height ceilings were nice.
Aside from having your own jacuzzi in the room, Chantillys has great and accommodating owners/staff. It also has a great location where it isn’t too busy or noisy, but you have easy access to Taupo lake, places to eat and a grocery.
We were very happy with our stay, we had stayed there once before with a group of people and found it as good this time as last time. The bed was a bit hard though. It was clean, warmed up and stayed warm all night. A good variety to choose from from the dinner menu and selection available for the all you could eat breakfast.

We were very happy with our stay, we had stayed there once before with a group of people and found it as good this time as last time. The bed was a bit hard though. It was clean, warmed up and stayed warm all night. A good variety to choose from from the dinner menu and selection available for the all you could eat breakfast. We are happy stay there again the next time we need a bed in Taupo as it is easy to get to from the new motorway, and being out of town a bit didn't worry us as it was a stop over for us on our way to Wellington.
The whole apartment was nice, clean and comfortable. However it would be better if equipt with portable heater in the bedroom The bath room a bit odd, large empty room split with tiny shower room and toilet. Parking was convenient next to front door and we did not get wet We did not try the hot pool coz it was raining all day in taupo and too cold around 5c

For the price we paid we're pretty sure we got one of the best views/stays at a hotel in Taupo that we've had thus far (and we come here often). The bed was comfortable, the TV worked well, the internet was great, and the takeaways from the restaurant were amazing. I don't know why'd you pay double or more for anything else when you'd get exactly the same. This place i...

The bed was comfortable, the TV worked well, the internet was great, and the takeaways from the restaurant were amazing. I don't know why'd you pay double or more for anything else when you'd get exactly the same. This place is a bargain. There's also a pool and spa (which we didn't use) that were in great condition. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful and overall our stay was great. Would highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to stay!
Tony (the owner) was very friendly and welcoming, and he even gave us some milk when we arrived. He also showed us all the places to go in Taupo and booked for us the skydive and everything else.

Thank you very much Tony, and also the other lady who took care of us while Tony was away golfing.
nice location, a short walk from 'the strip'. The place has been recently updated/refreshed making it feel very clean. Good amount of space for the 11 month child to toddle around in. Baby cot was free (I think). Would recommend but think the standard in taupo is quite high generally looking around
Suncourt is an awesome place to stay at. Its close to everything you want. Their pools are amazing and the room we stayed in was enormous. Most of all restaurant nexts door breakfast was free for kids with a paying adult. I would definitely come back to this hotel when im in Taupo.

Most of all restaurant nexts door breakfast was free for kids with a paying adult. I would definitely come back to this hotel when im in Taupo. There's also heaps of carpark for you truckies and big families travelling with alot of cars. So if your in Taupo and looking for a hotel come to this place. You will have a time of your life and they didnt pay me to say that lol.
One of the best hostels in NZ I've stayed in. Lovely chill vibe, fully equipped kitchen, good unlimited wifi, free filter coffee with fresh milk, board games, TV lounge with DVDs, sauna(!), lovely house dog and friendly staff etc. etc. What is there not to love?!

However, I was pretty happy with how they leave the note for me. The put the note at front desk door with my name and studio unit number. They even remembered to leave the wifi password.The unit is pretty spacious, lovely and cozy. The hotel room has a nice little kitchenette and microwave.The bed was very comfortable. We had a very good rest after long day of a bus ride from Auckland. The unit is pretty clean and thanks to the housekeeping team. The hotel has few parking spaces. The hotel is located at very convenient area which is pretty close to the shops and restaurants. Most of them are within walking distance. I had very pleasant stay at Bella Vista and I would stay again at Bella if I have a chance to visit Taupo. I would definitely recommend this motel to everyone.

The self contained kitchen area had everything a traveller could need and the bonus of a small private backyard was a welcome surprise. The staff would lovely, helpful and very approachable (even during one of their busiest weekends). Of course the location is superb, across the road from the lake and a short taxi ride into the centre of Taupo (or a reasonable 3 km walk along the lake for those so inclined). Thanks Accent on Taupo - I'll definitely be back!
Located steps away from Lake Taupo, Le Chalet is a cute, welcoming and well presented property with a bunch of apartments.

Located steps away from Lake Taupo, Le Chalet is a cute, welcoming and well presented property with a bunch of apartments. We have stayed here twice and on both occasions booked a 1 bedroom apartment for myself, my partner and our cub. After a long day of travel it is so delightful being able to step into this spacious, modern two level apartment with everything and anything you may need. The private spa and balcony overlooking Lake Taupo is an additional bonus! So close to the centre yet far enough to not be plagued by noise. We had a little hiccup the second time around with our booking which ultimately came down to confusion on both ends. I had booked via Agoda however they only had a booking from booking.com (Now come to have learnt Agoda is booking.com!) Owner was adamant I must have made two bookings under the influence of wine and that they do not work with Agoda. The issue was with the price however Agoda had not converted the amount to NZD from USD and this was not apparent until checking the confirmation email. Nonetheless we had an amazing stay and time and a bit of a giggle. Walls are a bit thin and can easily hear the neihbours but it is not a huge bother. Will definitely be back :-)
Pros: everything mentioned in title and it's clean too, huge kitchen with cooking, storing and heating facilities. Big backyard to chill or hang clothes. Towel hire $2 so worth it, big water absorbing towel!!

Pros: everything mentioned in title and it's clean too, huge kitchen with cooking, storing and heating facilities. Big backyard to chill or hang clothes. Towel hire $2 so worth it, big water absorbing towel!! Pretty much facing Lake Taupo and Thea and the other male receptionist were extremely nice, friendly and answers all questions although special note to male receptionist-no the alpine crossing is defo not easy esp in winter, be prepared before you go, haha Cons: Mattress very very noisy, springy and uncomfortable (this was a big problem for me and everyone in the room) AND 4 plug points in the room to 7 beds (wasn't a major problem for me but one chick found it annoying) Thanks Tiki for your kind hospitality!
Couch was broken, bed was uncomfortable, door was broken, kitchen very dated, no sky movies. Hot tub was great and the full height ceilings were nice.
Average motel- Clean. Location is excellent as it is on the main Lake road. Overall- average rating.
The Flying Trout is a beautiful house set high up on Acacia Bay with stunning views out over Lake Taupo. Our room was large, very well appointed and spotlessly clean.

Lin and Bob were perfect hosts, gave us lots of suggestions of what to do and where to eat and even made reservations for us- nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were delicious and they even got up early to give us continental breakfast before a very early start. Our only regret is that we did not stay more than two nights. Highly recommended.
Really lovely bed and breakfast with stunning views over Lake Taupo and a very attentive host Robyn who was most helpful and knowledgeable. 5 stars from me.
The staff and the bar make this the best place to stay in Taupo. They are willing to answer every question you have and help you make the best decision for what you want to do for your individual situation.

Very enjoyable stay, although far too short!! If and when we return to New Zealand again, we will certainly spemd more time in Taupo and book the Bayview Wairakei Resort again.
Its the second time we choose the cove, we love the hot spa in the suite, and the lake view, will come back if we go to taupo again
The Colonial was the 4th hotel we stayed in during our 2 weeks vacation in New Zealand and it was the best. The room was relatively cheap but provided ALL the basic needs you would expect from a higher priced room. The location was just superb and provide a massive view of the lake. What I liked most though, were the warm, friendly and helpful staff
Excellent location lakeside, with an easy walk to town. Our unit was clean and comfortable, with very good facilities.

Sharon and Rob were excellent hosts and couldn't have been more helpful with helping us arrange activities and decide which ones to choose! We had generous, bright rooms overlooking the lake and used the BBQ and pool - all very relaxing! I highly recommend this resort and this location and we hope to be back someday!
Very, very nice. Would definitely return, if we were back in Taupo. One thing to improve would be to replace the 'mattress' in the unit we were in.

We came to Taupo on an emergency visit to see a dying relative at Taupo Hospital. It was get the phone call, book the flights and a motel and hope for the best. Staff (Jenny in particular) were VERY helpful. The motel was the closest one there was to the hospital (LOCATION) The initial 1 night stay (not sure how bad relative was and if they might be going to Rotorua hospital)was easily extended to 3 and the price was VERY reasonable (PRICE) The lake was also right there at the doorstep although we didn't really have time to take advantage. If we were revisiting Taupo under more pleasant circumstances, I'd have no hesitation in staying there again.
We loved staying here. Wish we had more time! The new owners are fantastic and have renovated the motel to a very high standard. You have to stay at this place when visiting Taupo. It's everything you need and more!
Great place will stay again next time we go to Taupo.
We love the service, feel like home! Great Stay and surely will come back in the future. It's a hidden gem!

The lady owner is so nice and friendly. We like the cleanliness of our rooms and the washroom. Thumb up. :)

And when we came back in the evening, they did our room!!!!, which was totally unexpected. Wifi was super fast, although limited to 5GB only. Checkin and out took seconds, house keeping always did our rooms very good. If you walk out, you will have the lake infront of you, not to mention the beautiful views from your room, if you book the top room with view. Will definitely stay there again.
We were upgraded to a bigger room. Plus points for that. No formal reception area so need to call in charge with number provided to check in. Room clean and tidy. No major issues. Area surrounded by other villas. Quite safe location. Not near lake taupo but view is great.
Very good place to stay at Taupo. Cooking facilities is really great. We can enjoy lake view from our dining room. Really awsome apartment.
Late check in and early check out ruined our holiday. Arrived mid day and had to wait until 3pm with young kids until our room was ready. There was NO mention of a 3pm check in on any of the emails we received. Very disappointing. But besides that the Staff we friendly, place was clean and great facilities for the whole family.
This house is located in a quiet residential area. It is very comfortable, spacious and meeting the highest standards, being built only a few years ago.

Breakfast (hot and cold) was prepared individually and served by the lovely hosts in the first floor. From there, you have a wonderful panoramic view over the lake. The bedroom was on the ground floor and had access to a private terrace and the garden. We stayed 10 days at this place, exploring the Tongariro National Park and many other sites. The hosts were very helpful with advice, information, and books from the area. We could not have found a better place for our New Zealand holiday.
It was a stay we'll remember for a long, long time. On arrival we were greeted with a warm smile by the owner. Then we were guided to the luxury Chalet.

It was a stay we'll remember for a long, long time. On arrival we were greeted with a warm smile by the owner. Then we were guided to the luxury Chalet. The Chalet was fitted with all the modern amenities you wish to have such as; comfortable sofa fire place, large spa batch and TV connected to a Dolby surround system to name just a few. A large window overlooking Lake Taupo gave us panoramic view. As we were travelling in winter this was certainly the place to stay. We were treated like royalty by the lovely hostess and enjoyed every moment in 'our' Chalet. Breakfast in the morning was prepared to order and left no wishes open. We will certainly return to this place and like to recommend to all who are looking for a personalized boutique-style place to stay.
Gary’s hospitality exceptional and Chris’ breakfasts set us up beautifully forge day ahead . A must for discerning travelers to the Taupo region.
it is about 10 minutes drive from taupo town, we like the room very much as it is super spacious and has own balcony. in addition, the breakfast prepared by the host is excellent. highly recommended, will stay again if we visit taupo in the future.
Made to feel most welcome by Pru, the owner. Would stay again and most definitely recommend.
We spent 2 nights at Acacia Cliffs for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view of Lake Taupo from our room was quite breathtaking. It was also great to receive such warm hospitality from Linda and Rick who had very extensive knowledge of not only the local area but New Zealand overall. Highly recommended :)
Wish I could have stayed another day or two in this lovely place with such friendly and welcoming hosts. They are definitely well suited to the industry and they clearly love what they do. They were very helpful with suggestions about things to do In Taupo and places to see onward. Really nice home made pizzas in the evenings if you choose not to eat out.

Traveler impressions of Taupo
Taupo is beautiful. The Wairaiki Terraces (Geothermal pools) are divine!! The jet boat ride to the bottom on Huka Falls is awesome.
We were only there 1 night unfortunately. The lake is gorgeous. Will be going back for a longer stay next time.
If you're visiting NZ for it's great outdoors, you have to stop at Taupo. And I'd recommend stopping, rather than staying, unless your a really nature lover.
There is a wealth of beauty to be found in viewing the lake, but I'd rather spend more time in Rotorua soaking in the hot pools and taking in the local culture. Visit Taupo, take photos, drink in the atmosphere, then hit the next spot.
Relaxing, exciting, beautiful place. Walking in the relaxing park, jungle trekking, bungee jumping, speedboat riding or just chilling at the restaurant or cafe.
..everything seems to be beautiful and good in Taupo. Totally in love with it.
It's just beautiful and the people are so friendly, there is plenty to see and do - without costing a lot of money.
jlots of fun to be had here, as well as very relaxing environment
Taupo is a nice city on the banks of Lake Taupo. There is so much to see and so many activities to do.
Fantastic stay and lots of activities undertaken!
Modern, clean environment with outstanding attractions including Prawn farm. mountain views, Huka falls and the lake
A lovely relaxing place to visit but also has a lot of activities you can explore at your leisure or for the more adventurous adrenalin junkies there is also plenty to do.
We where there for a sporting feature so didn't have a lot of free time to go too far afield but enjoyed what we did visit. Would have liked to go out on the lake to see the Maori carving, loved the falls and the dam.
Excellent location, nice clean city,prawn parkwell worth a visit alow plenty of time fishing for prawns is magic,daily spilling of dam into river well worth a visit,drive through geo thermal field to see natural forces being harnessed for uswell worth the time ,every thing handy to town
Friendly locals, easy to find your way around, shops suited to many activities you may be interested in doing.
Handy for day trips to other areas. Stunning views of lake and mountain ranges regardless of the season.
Situated on the edge of Lake Taupo, the town itself offers good dining and shopping facilities. Within easy reach are the Waraiki thermal walk and the Craters of the Moon where one can experience the geothermal nature of the area.
The river and Huka Falls, and the lake itself, provide opportunities for water activities. One can also skydive in the local area.
A fantastic range of restaurants amazing food. Taupo is quite central to many attractions. An the view while driving takes your breath away.
..
Huka falls area is fantastic ,helicopter ride and the huka jet is great ,pubs and restaurants are fabulous
A lot of cultural experiences in and around Taupo to be found. A lot of activity on the lake for tha adventurous person.
Taupo is a place of incredible natural beauty. The lake and surround rivers and streams have some of the cleanest, clearest water you will find anywhere, and there are a lot of walks and natural beauty to explore.
I recommend the walk from the Spa Park to the Huka Falls, it's about an hour each way if you take your time, and at the beginning/end there is a hot stream with some natural rock pools which is awesome for swimming in.
I don't understand why Taupo stores close so early or don't even open on a Sunday. This town could benefit so much more from people travelling and is well positioned as a convenient rest stop.
I have often stopped on Sunday afternoons travelling up from Wellington to find cafes and stores closing at 3pm.
We enjoy our dinner at one of the buffet Chinese restaurant and there is no shopping during night time because all shops are closed.
So, it is good to enjoy and relax in private thermal pool in the room.
Several local restaurants have won the “Beef and Lamb Cuisine Award” with many serving wild food dishes on their menus.
While you won’t find trout on the menu most restaurants will be more than happy to prepare and cook them for you. Just ring beforehand to let them know you’ll be bringing in your fresh catch.
many kinds of restaurant,big and beautiful lake,a lot of accomodation.very relaxing place.clean air also!
Drove into taupo, road access was wonderful. Visited thermal springs. Close to Rotorua for day trip.
Shopping was great
lovely quiet place away from teh downtown, you cna take nice walks around much of teh lake. Would love to visit again when my child is older and can do more activities.
taupo lake was very charming,beautiful,you can bring some bread to feed sea birds,and bring bath towel for sunbathing!

More about Taupo
Apart from the ever-popular sky sports like bungee jumping and sky diving, Taupo is also a great destination for exploring some geothermal sites and volcanic activity. Lake Taupo drains into the famous Huka Falls, causing a stunning and unique waterfall that can be reached by perfectly mapped out trails. Taupo has many attractions, and Huka Falls is certainly one that should not be missed.
The Craters of the Moon volcanic reserve are a collection of hot springs that surround Taupo, a great opportunity to walk around the geothermal landscape, and easy enough to be undertaken by most people.
There’s much more to see and do in Taupo, and the interactive map on this page is a great way to explore where the attractions and hotels can be found in this exciting city.
