Top Oruanui Hotel Reviews

Hilton Lake Taupo

8/10 Good

"The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Unfortunately there seems to be difficulties in the restaurant with dinner service due to a lack of staff. The spa pool wasn't warm enough for us to use which we did relay to staff. Hopefully it's been rectified."

Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

10/10 Excellent

"This has been our go-to place in Taupo for years. It never disappoints."

Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room and wonderful spa bath. We only stayed the night but appreciated the coziness of the place"

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

8/10 Good

"Great all-in-one place to stay, not far from Taupo central, but definitely not walkable. Lots for kids to do, they're never bored."

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"It was perfect for our needs. Older place but updated and clean. The mineral pool in our room was great and handy and we took full advantage when we could. Great to end a hard busy week at work. Will definitely come back again"

Cascades Lakefront Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice accommodation on the lakefront great staff and a great hot tub"

Lakeland Resort Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"We had an event on in Taupo and booked a studio apartment . The two staff members we interacted with were excellent and took their time to make our stay more enjoyable. We would stay again."

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."

Le Chalet Suisse Motel Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location. Property was a little run down but had quaint charm."
