Hotel 3 Bintang di Taupo

Driving down to Wellington from Bay of Islands, An hour out of Taupō searched for a room for the night online, Booking.com. This place came up with rooms w shared ablutions, communal kitchen, very very reasonable less than$100 cheapest in town, our kind of place. We wanted our own ensuite, so chose a Superior Room, was $90 than was reduced to $83. Our expectations were not high, not for that price. Wow we were actually blown away, expectations exceeded. Great room, friendly staff, clean, spacious and a balcony and view of the Lake if you lean, awesomr👏🏼👍🏼🙏

Perfect location with good facilities and worth the money... Recommended for Taupo stopover or longer stay...

Sangat baik, kesihatan yang baik, betul-betul di tepi tasik, mujurlah mengambil bilik tepat di seberang tasik! Ada susu untuk diberikan, hotel ini sangat kos efektif, kembali ke Taupo akan mempertimbangkan lagi!

We had Rm 303, 3rd floor. We loved the fabulous view of Lake Taupo. We liked the proximity to eateries. Beds were comfy, so were pillows and sheets. Staff we saw were frirndly too. But, this motel had its heyday in the 1980s and is in need of a full refurb. It shows. Lift was noisy (outside our room). Traffic noise noticeable, motel is on a very busy road so couldnt leave window open. To access the bedroom one had to go through the bathroom (toilet not separate). Or, if you were in the 2nd bedroom, you were trapped in there until the person finished in the bathroom. Light switch for bathroom in the kitchen. No air con/heat pump. Only portable fans or oil fin heaters. Everything tired, although clean. Shower pressure not strong and you have to step up into it, and step down to get out of it. Could be an issue for elderly or people with mobility issues. We thought there are newer motels that are better value in Taupo to stay at.

The ease of being able to check in and out without going to reception is a useful feature (we arrived in good time to see the helpful gentleman on reception to check in). We did not use the full facilities of the lounge and kitchen. The room and bathroom were clean. The room was nicely a presented, comfortable bed and functional for what we needed during our stay in Taupo. We ate at Thai delight, a short walk away and had a lovely meal that came promptly and with good service.

Arrived in Taupō on Hwy5. Make sure to stop and viewing spot on entry to town with a wonderful panoramic view. The Acacia was easy to find on the road running along the lake edge. We were met in reception by Christine who made us most welcome and engaged in easy conversation. She was most accomodating & upgraded us to room 11 at the front of house with direct views of the lake across the road. Wonderful and very generous. The room was huge by any standard with a kitchenette and private balcony. This really made our stay that much better. There is a Hole in One golf competition opposite the hotel. Shots are to a floating target green in the lake 100m with a $10,000 prize for a hole in one. Had to try that! Thank you Christine you made our stay perfect.

Omg what a disgusting hole ! What they advertised was NOTHING like what we found .it was over grown and un kept , buildings surrounding were falling down and boarded up , looked like a budget camp ground that no one looked after . We were there 10 mins and decided no we couldn’t stay . We were met with attitude from the manager who refused a refund ( I’d already paid online ) . He tried to say it was fine and we could have another room , the room was the least of our worries it was the grounds were scary ! Granted i thought it was going to be a bit rustic , with cottage type feel, but after looking round I felt I would have been awake all night hoping I wasn’t murdered in my bed 😳 room also stunk like damp and mould , toilet wasn’t cleaned , the surroundings were over grown and it looked like a ghost town or setting from a horror film . Needless to say we didn’t stay and are still trying for a refund .

Been meaning to stay for years as rest of family have many times. Loved it, BUT....... security needs updating. Maybe they are doing that as toilet security door was missing and so was front access barrier! Had some very suspect people using toilet and shower facilities this morning. Definitely didn't look like guest and didn't have caravan or tent. By the look of the face tattoos looked like and behaved like gang members. Without security gates or doors they will just come in. Also some people had a lot of food- meat stolen from fridge. Sad. :( ALL THAT SAID- it's still a lovely camp. Facilities are clean, and good location next to hot pools and good sites with reasonable privacy on most sites. Would stay again.

The motel is centrally located and is walking distance to most Amneties, including the beach. The rooms are spacious and very clean. It has very modern furniture and accessories, desktop burner and dishwasher. We stayed in Unit 3 and the aircon and TV were excellent. Parking space is also available for free. The surrounding gardens are beautiful. The hosts are excellent.
