The woman at the front desk (Sharon) was the nicest person I have ever spoken to in my life. I called the day before my check-in as I was planning to arrive later than when the front desk was open (they close at 9pm) and she was so pleasant and sweet on the phone. She gave me detailed instructions on how to get what I needed upon arrival to get into my room and where to park on the premises. When I arrived the following night, everything was extremely easy and exactly as Sharon described. The...

I loved my stay at the Cottage Mews Motel. I don’t think I would change a thing. The amenities were great, there’s a kitchenette with a small stove and a sink and plenty of dishes if you plan to cook or want to reheat anything. The spa was amazing with very clear instructions. The WiFi was pretty good too. To add on the room was very homey and cute. I would for sure stay again!

It is a bit of a hike if you want to walk to town, but the accommodations were wonderful. Great view, and could hear waves lapping the lake at night. Very nice.

Great experience. Property is older than I expected but clean and we'll maintained. Staff helpful and courteous. No elevator so plan on hooking your bags up a flight of stairs if u are on 2nd level. Recommended.

Great location and staff. Happy about almost everything except I can smell some odor from either the carpet or the bedding. The smell of it like some heavy hikers socks

We had a 1 BR apt on the ground floor next to the road. With the BR in the rear traffic noise was not a problem for sleeping. There is a great view of Lake Taupo across the road and watching the sunsets was great. The management was excellent and had lots of suggestions on what to do and where to eat and shop. Free laundry was a plus and managemnet even moved our laundry from washer to dryer when we were a little late getting back. Would definitely stay here again. Dining and shopping nearby...
