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. And the cabin we were staying also overlo...
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 th...
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 tak...
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. Guest also get a complimentary internet acce...
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...
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...
Had flown back from Australia to celebrate our sons 1st birthday in taupo and had booked 4 rooms for all our close family members to stay in with us for the night & it was the absolute best. 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 a...
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 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. The room is clean and tidy and very cozy, we loved our stay here and if i ever visit taupo again, this is definitely the place i will be staying. Too good!!!!! Thank you very ...
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 ...
2nd Stay here! Owner is very friendly. Beautiful view of the Lake Taupo. Apartment is clean n cosy.
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. There's also heaps of carpark for you truckies and big families travelling with alot of...
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.
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!
I stayed 3 nights at Bella Vista Motel during my stay at Taupo. I reached to the hotel very late and the front desk was already closed. 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.

Would highly recommend Accent on Taupo - the rooms were sparklingly clean and fitted out with quality furniture and fittings.

The staff would lovely, helpful and very approachable (even during one of their busiest weekends). Of cour...
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 a...
Private pool was 👍! our Complimentary birthday wine was very well appreciated. Room was kept well and appliances were new :) the rose garden was nice too.
Everything was top notch, cleanliness was 10/10, very friendly and happy receptionist, thermal pool was included in our stay, spent some amazing time there. Cozy and warm motel. 9/10 overall. Will book again on next visit to taupo.
Cheapest hotels in Taupo
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 ...

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.

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. -- ...

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.
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.
it was great. the bed was large and comfy. The toilet were spaciuos and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and made my dinner convenient. The wifi was speedy and FOC. Pak N Save and Countdown supermrket were nearby to get food. It's just a short walk to lake Taupo. Everything about Barcelona Motel was just lovely. Really enjoyed my short stay in Barcelona Motel.
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.
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 ti...

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.

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!
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. :)
We stayed 2 nights of our holiday touring NZ. The location is just fabulous. A spectacular view over Taupo and the lake, with the most wonderful sunrise, well worthwhile getting up for early in the morning. Upon arrival we had a free upgrade to one of the chalets which are so nice and luxurious. The breakfast was brought according order and even contained salmon. Chery...

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...
Good location. No matter cooking, dining or sleeping everywhere can see lake view. Nice decoration. Fully equipped kitchen. Very clean and have daily cleaning service.
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.
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.
Relaxing, exciting, beautiful place. Walking in the relaxing park, jungle trekking, bungee jumping, speedboat riding or just chilling at the restaurant or cafe.
It's just beautiful and the people are so friendly, there is plenty to see and do - without costing a lot of money.
Taupo is a nice city on the banks of Lake Taupo. There is so much to see and so many activities to do.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
We enjoy our dinner at one of the buffet Chinese restaurant and there is no shopping during night time because all shops are closed.
Several local restaurants have won the “Beef and Lamb Cuisine Award” with many serving wild food dishes on their menus.
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.
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!

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.

Checkin and out took seconds, house keeping always did our rooms very good. If you wa...
Huge room great facilities- walking distance to town. A true winner!
My family of 6 enjoys this place very much. This is the best apartment we have stayed so far in New Zealand. Facilities are so good and we even barbequeued there. Apartment is very clean and tidy. Good service too! We had an awesome stay at Voyager's Apartment, would recommend it to friends.
Everything is good.
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.
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 :)
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 ...
Exceptional property in the hills behind Lake Taupo with amazing grounds and friendly hosts with fabulous local knowledge. I would highly recommend this property for its deliciously comfortable bed, peaceful surrounds within a few minutes of the township of Taupo
Wasn't aware that the place was a B&B until we arrived, but was pleasantly surprised. The couple who run this place could not be more interesting or lovely. They seem to love have new people to talk to - they're well traveled and we so helpful with our own travels in Taupo - they had no shortage of suggestions. The price was more than reasonable, just be aware that it ...
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.
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...

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.
