Enjoy the nostalgia of days past in a charming self-contained studio or family cottage. Hosts Sonja and Michael Parfitt offer warm personal service and are happy to share their fresh perspective of the Lake Taupo area. Enjoy tea in a private garden courtyard, cycle along the lake-front or paddle a kayak around the point. Take the path to the lake edge or relax in a spa bath with lavender bubbles. Just minutes from the boutique shopping, restaurants and cafes of downtown Taupo, the motel is central to the region’s action and attractions. Fine dining, fishing expeditions, a long soak in thermal pools or a weekend spent walking and cycling … whatever your idea of a Taupo getaway, Cottage Mews promises a moderately-priced and memorable lakeside experience.

We stayed here while we were in the area to complete a painting project and the managers / owners were so wonderful they handled a slight problem with absolute honour and dignity, lovely and close to the gorgeous lake front, highly recommended place to stay. Thanks team

We have used this motel on several occasions whilst travelling between Palmerston Nth. and Mt. Maunganui. The "good" facilities - great spacious rooms, beds and spa baths" have not changed and the new owners are "friendly". Central Taupo is about 5 km north. I always enjoy going down the short access to the beach on the lake !

This was my hubby, son and my second stay here and we’ll be back again next year! The rooms have everything needed for a comfortable stay. The furnishings may be outdated, but everything is sparkling clean and extremely well maintained. The small touches, like the lavender bubble bath, make it special. Thank you so much!

We went to this motel just before it was handed to the new managers. The previous manager and her husband were absolutely helpful and did everything their guest needed. the accomodation was nice and the rooms were good, spacey and clean. the bedding absolutely great. Being next to the lake guaranteed a nice walk under the start around the lake and the distance from the town centre is only 15 minutes walk. This was an absolutely good stay for us and hopefully the new managers are able to upkeep the standard of the previous managers. We wish them and their business well.

This is a really pretty little motel very close to town and with access to a beach. I had great fun dipping my toes in the lake after a hard day’s sightseeing! The room was a good size for three adults with it’s own back yard with chairs and parasol. There was even a hot tub in the room for those who fancy a long soak. And the owners were friendly and helpful. The room could have done with a curtain over the kitchen window though. The light outside (and the odd reversing car) lit our room up like a Christmas tree. But despite that, I would recommend a stay here.
