Lakefront Lodge Taupo

I paid a little extra for a Lakeview room and it was well worth it. Room was spotless, check in staff friendly and the restaurant very good. Best espresso martini I’ve had in a while.

Really nice place. the refurbished "superior" rooms are much nicer than the old dated ones. the pine clad rooms and african themed hallways have definately had thier day, but they new rooms in lighter colours much more modern and spacious feeling. on site bar and restaurant were surprisingly good too, had a really nice meal here. Just dont expect breakfast. unfortunately the advertised breakfast restaurant is only open on weekends, so we were dissapointed we couldnt eat here on a thursday morning (this is not advertised anywhere. or even mentioned in in-room breakfast menu). if it wasnt for that would have given 5 stars. really enjoyed the hot spa pool in the evening after coming back from cycling that day

The rooms are dated and need refreshing , the spa was not in proper working order and when it was on it was freezing cold ( only reason we booked it was for the spa) and its lake location . It would have been a great place in its early days . Would I return no.

Not enough parking space in the property

Great pool and spa

We had a back unit which was very clean, quiet with comfortable bed. Enjoyed soaking in the bath after a long day and beach across the road so a couple of minutes walk. Parking was limited and we had to park in the street. No AC was an unpleasant surprise as room hot in afternoon when we arrived (and something I will check in future) so we opted to leave the window open, fan on and stuff in car while we went out.

Very outdated. No air con.. Pool no bigger than a bath.. Staff were friendly..

Easy parking, convenient to have a restaurant right there for breakfast & dinner. Staff were friendly, pool and spa were easy to access and use.

Comfortable lodge with nice staff; note there is very little parking and the space is shared with the Social Club, so you may have to park on the street.

Great location right by the lake. Clean and just what was advertised. Pool was good for the kids. Small, but they just needed to cool down. The spa was also a hit with the kids. Comfortable beds. Easy walk into town. You can eat and drink at the social club next store which is great. Or walk less than 5 minutes down the road for more options.

Bedbugs eaten alive

Room was dirty and hair in the bath. Needed a revamp badly

夜に到着して、寝るだけだったので立地の利便性は分かりませんが、湖の目の前でアクセスは抜群だと思います。フロントの方もフレンドリーで、犬のライアンくんも懐っこくて可愛かった。 部屋の方は、ベッドにダニが歩いていていて、全部で4匹駆除し、なかなか寝れなかった。 対策をした方がいいと思う。 部屋に備え付けのマグカップが汚かった。前の人が使った痕跡がはっきり分かるものがあり、他のカップも洗い直してから使った。 衛生面はガッカリすることが多かったです。

not enough parking room (& sheets!) were damp

Room was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly.

Shower that has a fair water speed and stays in the holder ( kept falling out and had to hold onto It) Floor and bathrooms didn’t look like they’d had a proper clean in a while .

Non smoking room smelled of very heavy cigarette use! Would have thought cleaning staff would have picked it up. Were transferred to another room. However restaurant food was very good

Staff to the point Rooms on surface were good but both shower drains were blocked. Battery low on remte. Decor good

Unfortunately we had to pack up our stuff and sleep in our car on our first night as we discovered bed bugs. We bought this to the attention of the staff as soon as the reception opened. We had to show the staff how to spot bed bugs which was concerning. Unfortunately they were unable to reallocate us to another room/property so we were refunded. The room itself was dated and dirty. There was still hair in the bathroom sink and crumbs on the carpet. Staff were lovely and helpful but after our horrifying bed bug experience we won’t be back.

Nice property, friendly staff, nice views. It is noisy though - through the walls and ceiling

On the lakefront … as expected … our 2nd floor “Lake View” room had a great view of sunset over the lake. Many food and drink options available within walking distance. Room had everything we needed for a good night’s sleep. Easy self-checkout if you need to be up early.

Fantastic staff - but an unbelievably tiny room. It was small even by midtown Manhattan standards.

Clean room, nice view of the lake from the top floor

Great location etc but the walls are very thin, can hear what your neighbours are up to, plus everytime a tap was turned on or a toilet flushed .

The room was tired, could have done with clean. Also would benefit from an air con unit. Extremely hot. Don't expect a good sleep, walls are thin.

Our stay was fine but the rooms were tiny. There is no room to store a suitcase flat. Bed was comfortable and showering our room was good.

Although we enjoyed the lake view from our room it was small and without air conditioning. The fan was noisy as well as the music from the restaurant.

Clean and tidy but because of the type of building, it was quite noisy.

The room was very small, but fine for one night.

I will never stay here again. Firstly, the communication was awful. I was told they were closing 3p on Christmas Day and I said I’d be there. But I kept getting called, messaged or emailed to the point of harassment. I explained I’m not using my phone outside when I have wifi as it costs me $5 per day. I explained where I was leaving from and how long the drive was and even got replies. But was still called while I was driving and 100km away and told they were closing at 3p. The room was so tiny I had to climb over the bed to make a cup of tea, there was nowhere for my small suitcase, no fridge to cool my food I’d bought because it was Christmas Day. Access to a fridge should be mandatory. Then they take my credit card for security when there is nothing in the room to steal or break. The pool was closed or broken. There is no bin in the common outside area where you are forced to eat as there is no room in the room. So, bad room, staff, amenities and more. I paid only $11 more for a lovely airport hotel in Auckland the night I arrived. Everything was cheap, mean and small here down to the toiletries. It was less than a private room in a youth hostel. You can find better.

Friendly staff, the premises included our room were warm and clean. We will stay again at Lakefront Lodge, thank you.

Wonderful place to stay. Quiet and easy to get in and around. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great staff, nice and clean and lake across road for a swim, great views.

Very helpful friendly staff who took us right to our room and explained exits, lift, restaurant etc The room was great value for money as well as the on-site restaurant too

No airconditioning. Quirky after-hours doors and limited site communication. We noticed one guest who inadvertently locked himself out of his room with his key and phone left in the room. He ended up sleeping in the hallway because there was no way to contact the desk agents.

No front desk staff before -9am inconvenient

Great location, awesome friendly staff

We had an unpleasant stay at the property. We paid extra for late check out. However, at 10am, the housekeeping staff has been banging our room telling us to vacate the place. So we informed them that our checkout time is supposed to be midday. Receptionist was so rude, didn’t apologise and blamed another receptionist for their muck up. We were made to feel so unwelcome. It was just so horrible.

Always love staying here, our go to when in Taupo. Friendly Staff, great food, clean and tidy.

Great location and great view!

Polite staff on arrival. Comfy bed, room nice and clean. Was on the ground floor, perhaps a room on a level up may of been better, will do next time. Great location Right across the road from the lake which was lovely, and an easy walk into town.

Clean and convenient motel, walkable to town centre and on the lakefront

Nice location with waterfront views and within walking distance to the town's shopping centre

Great location across the lake.

Great view of the lake. Easy to walk to beach front parks. Nicely updated bathroom and shower. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant had great breakfast options.

Excellent location in Taupo- everything along the lake within walking distance of the town. Comfortable stay.

Excellent place. Great access to the lake front. Easy to find. Fantastic Restaurant.

Nice character, Had a great sleep and good view from our room

Location was awesome with great views. Very easy walk to the CBD with no need to drive or taxi.

The Lodge is an older property but perfectly situated on the lakefront. The rooms are as expected, good water pressure in the shower and everything provided you might need The staff are where the lodge excels, from front desk through restaurant and housekeeping, everyone was friendly, helpful, and always seemed happy to help. Ashish in the Social Club restaurant was brilliant - even cleared a table by the window for me when it came free without me having to ask. Awareness and caring in staff is the goal! The food rocked also!

The restaurant was fantastic and all the staff in restaurant and lodge were excellent

I paid a little extra for a Lakeview room and it was well worth it. Room was spotless, check in staff friendly and the restaurant very good. Best espresso martini I’ve had in a while.

Really nice place. the refurbished "superior" rooms are much nicer than the old dated ones. the pine clad rooms and african themed hallways have definately had thier day, but they new rooms in lighter colours much more modern and spacious feeling. on site bar and restaurant were surprisingly good too, had a really nice meal here. Just dont expect breakfast. unfortunately the advertised breakfast restaurant is only open on weekends, so we were dissapointed we couldnt eat here on a thursday morning (this is not advertised anywhere. or even mentioned in in-room breakfast menu). if it wasnt for that would have given 5 stars. really enjoyed the hot spa pool in the evening after coming back from cycling that day

Nice friendly staff. Clean & comfortable room. On site restaurant good. The only negative was that information in room stated restaurant was open for breakfast and it is NOT OPEN FOR BREAKFAST.

Lovely view from restaurant and best eye filler I have had in years.

I loved the restaurant for breakfast i had there eggs beni with salmon and bacon, great portion size and a great price

Lovely and warm room. Had breakfast at Restaurant, very nice

Staff were very good . Good food available at ok price. Happy with my stay.

Had dinner at the restaurant. Was very nice
