Nice and central to everything We have stayed here before. Bed was a bit soft for us and the couch was quite uncomfortable to lie on. Apart from that it was pretty good.

We recently stayed at the Great Lake Motel Taupo for three nights with our family, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the lake and close to great cafes, restaurants, and shops.
The room was spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed, including a comfortable bed, modern amenities, and a functional kitchenette. It was the perfect setup for our family.
The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests and offering great local recommendations. Parking was convenient, and the overall atmosphere of the motel was warm and welcoming.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend the Great Lake Motel Taupo to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Taupo. We’ll definitely be back!
