Acacia Lake View Motel

Taupo

Boasting an idyllic lake front setting, Acacia Lake View Motel offers free WiFi. Some rooms feature a balcony. All have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

Acacia Lake View Motel is just 300-metres from Taupo Town Centre and a 5 minute Tauhara Golf Course. Taupo Airport is a 10-minute drive away. I asked for a quiet room upon request and got a lovely room away from the road yet still had a lake view. The room was spacious, the kitchen was great, the bathroom was big, the shower was fantastic. and the bed - which we are stay for - was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay but the best part for me was Christine. A fantastic reception greeting and genuine acknowledgment throughout my stay with each passing ensured I was really appreciated as a guest. I don't mess around with inadequacy so there's no doubt I'll be staying here on each of my journeys through Taupo in the future. Thank you too the cleaners who do a great job and hold down a great company.

Creel Lodge 4.5 stars

Turangi

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Turangi town centre, Creel Lodge is a 4.5-star Qualmark rated motel offering self-contained suites with a private patio and BBQ facilities.

Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. We didn't pay too much attention when booking this accommodation, as we just wanted a place to rest for a night after the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and before driving to Wellington. What a lovely surprise this place was! I absolutely loved staying here - spacious and clean rooms, a comfortable bed and a covered terrace in front of the apartment. Even though we didn't get to use the kitchen, it was supplied with pretty much all apliences one would need. Some details I appreciated and haven't seen before were the parking spots next to every apartment and the Netflix account the apartment had for guests. The gardens were pretty and well kept. However, I have to admit that what helped tremendously with my experience at the Creel Lodge hotel was the beautiful and incredibly friendly cat that decided to make us his friends and waited for us to wake up the next morning in front of our door.
