Lakeland Resort Taupo
Amazingly friendly staff, food was amazing. The room was clean but a fair few cobwebs and missing appeal in the room, otherwise did not impact our stay.

Oasis Beach Motel
The apartment was clean and tidy but a little dated. Beds were comfortable and the small kitchen had everything we needed to self cater. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and offered advice on local attractions. The heated outdoor pool was perfect and the area well kept.
