Heading into Taupo without a reservation. Found The Lake in Motels of NZ Guide. We had a lovely studio. Clean and modern. Free Internet access. As with almost all Motels in NZ we had a nice kitchenette with tea, coffee and milk provided. more

The Lake is a beautiful property several blocks from both the town of Taupo and the lake. Clean, spacious, comfortable room. Would be a great base for several days of activities at Taupo since the room has a fridge, kitchenette and dining area. Would definitely recommend. more

Stayed here 1 night visiting for a wedding in Taupo. Had studio room which was very clean, spacious and had all the mod cons - liked the fact they had free videos, something most properties dont even consider. Only issue was road noise - Mere Road appears to be a bypass for trucks avoiding Highway 1. So could not recommend... more

Ultra cool and casually hip! Very comfortable, pleasant and friendly. Will stay at The Lake again next time in Lake Taupo. more
