"A lovely warm welcome by our hosts. Great conversation and a wonderful dinner cooked and served to perfection.
Garth and Angie made my birthday celebration visit really special and both Jacqui and I highly recommend Whakaipo Lodge for their excellence in all aspects."
"Very good place to stay in Taupo. Clean, tidy, everything worked. It was well above our expectations for the cost. Very close to the centre and just across the road from the lake. I will definitely stay there again when next in Taupo."
"Beautiful spot looking directly across to lake Taupo.
Very friendly owners very nice and clean facilities.
And homemade cookies a very nice and personal touch.
Close to shops and restaurants.
Only downer is a small amount of mould on the ceiling in the bedroom
Probably due to the poximity of the hot tub.
All in all a positive experience lovely and clean i would definitely recommend a stay at the Gabels clean warm and very friendly"
"The staff is simply amazing and the property is neat clean, the heated pool you just don’t want to get out of it at all! We loved our stay and will definitely get back there!"
"An outstanding facility that represents great value for money with an on site restuarant that is second to none for meals and service! Be will be back!"
"Clean and had everything we needed. Loved the retro themed decor and it did not feel like a motel. Tony and Di were friendly and their accommodation is reasonably priced and highly recommended! "
"Aircon and towel rack had been turned on before check in. Owner and staff are super friendly. The room was clean, well maintained and very warm for our two nights in August. Nice view from living room and balcony. Heated pool and hot tub are nice too. Shopping centre and restaurants are nearby. Lake and the Two Mile Bay Sailing Club is just across the road and our 3yo enjoyed a morning walk and playing at lakefront. Will definitely come back again. Highly recommend to couples and families. "
"The room was as I expected... A good bed, good tele, nice little balcony and a better than avg bathroom. A spa bath and a great shower along with a microwave and fridge give you everything you could want. Staff were welcoming and smiling. It was a lovely three nights."
