Baycrest Lodge
Baycrest LodgeTaupō Central
10/10 Excellent
The property is clearly not new but it has been impeccably kept through the years. The room shows barely any age and everything works as it should.
Critical appliances such as the television have been updated to wide screen smart options that are par for the course.
The room is more spacious than average and the view out the balcony is excellent.
Quality bedding is used and precise temperature control via an ac unit provide an excellent night's sleep

Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful team. The room looks over the lake and is well designed to make the most of the sunsets. Just note that it sits on a geothermal area, so you have a hot water springs and beach right in front. For winter, get the ground floor unit because it is like permanent underfloor heating! For summer, get a upper floor as it gets too warm at times on the ground.

Everything was perfect for our winter R ‘n’ R holiday at Boulevard Waters. We have shared so many favourite features of this lovely motel over the past 23 years of regular visits, but the main highlights this July were the warmth of our unit (fantastic underfloor heating), the cleanliness and perfect temperature of the mineral pool and the friendliness and helpfulness of the managers (who made us feel so welcome and valued). As always, the spacious living area, comfy bed and stunning views from...

The staff and reception are friendly. Check in is fast. We have 3 adults and 1 kid in my family. They offer us a free upgrade to a much larger and luxury room because they said the room we booked may be too small for 4 people. They are so kind and considerate.

The property is around 15 - 20 mins walk from Taupo city centre. There is a convenient store across the road, do note that the store close like 7-7.30pm. The owner is helpful and friendly to guests.

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
The cleanliness of the accommodation is great and I enjoyed soaking in the hot tub filled with various minerals in the water. The thermal pool is operational throughout the day and it was an enjoyable swim. The owner of the property Carol has been such a warm and approachable person who offers to provide help and information when required. The only issue are the miggets that came from Lake Taupo during the summer season.

Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment with Lake View. My family loves the vibe of the place. It's very clean with all amenities available. There are portable fans and extra towels in the cabinet. The manager is friendly and easygoing which made check-in process very smooth. It is directly situated across the lake where my family went on a walk. A very nice getaway.
