    The total stay was nice on a business trip. They gave me an executive queen studio with a bath, full bathrooms, as an example. - Coffee & tea makers, a fridge, and a cooktop were a huge plus. - Exceptional hotel staff helped me with laundry.

    The rooms are beautifully maintained and functional with a sofa in the bedroom. The tea and coffee making equipment, fridge, and cooktop were a nice touch. The location is very central, close to the great lake, shops, petrol station, restaurants. I would definitely stay here again; it exceeded my high expectations.

    The Great Lake Motel in Taupo is situated in a fantastic location, surrounded by main activities such as Huka Falls, Wairakei Golf, geothermal parks, and cafes and shops in Taupo. The brand-new room I stayed in was extremely pleasant, with a separate bedroom and lounge, and a luxurious jacuzzi bath and shower. All of this came at a reasonable price.

    We had a fantastic time in Taupo and the Great Lake Motel was fantastic. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was spacious and newly renovated. We loved the spa bathtub in the clean bathroom. The location was amazing, just a stone's throw away from Lake Taupo, restaurants, Huka Falls, and the town shops. Plus, there was a lovely public park nearby.

    I recently stayed at this amazing 4-star hotel for a weekend getaway and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk away from all the shops and restaurants. And let me tell you, the view from this place was simply breathtaking! Being right opposite the lake made it even more special.

    I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. The location, service, and amenities make it a great choice for a memorable trip.
