Top Taupō Hotel Reviews

Oasis Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was great nice and warm for kids. The location was excellent and the price was reasonable. The view was amazing "

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and had nice amenities, and the staff were friendly. The shower had fantastic water pressure, but it paled in comparison to the geothermal tub in the next room! The private geothermal pool (which also had a geothermal shower) was a perfect, romantic way to unwind after a long drive from Auckland. The fact that the room rate also includes access to the larger public pools is also a big plus (although we were too busy to visit those)."
