Top Taupō Central Hotel Reviews

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed comfortable (on the firmer side, but I like a firm mattress), great shower and had the facilities you need, but some aspects were a bit dated. Had a spa which we didnt use, but made use of the thermal pools which were great! Staff were really friendly and happy to help! Would stay again, value for money."

Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night on our way to the mountain. The staff were lovely and helpful. We were given milk on arrival and here were nice toiletries and coffee/tea in our room. The sheets were clean and the beds had electric blankets, and the room had a heat pump so very warm. The motel is on the older side, pretty basic but had everything we needed. Everything was very clean, but I think the age of the bathroom means that the shower can't look really sparkling. One minor issue was we specifically booked a room with a queen and two single beds as we were travelling with two kids who are too old to share a bed. Unfortunately our room had two queens - so if you specifically want two singles it may pay to request that directly with the management."
