Unfortunately I only ended up staying here one night, but the Tui Oaks had a great location ...a short walk from the main downtown area, and right on the lake! I used Taupo as my base for exploring Tongariro National Park. The room was nice, although I only was in the room to sleep ...wish I had spent an extra day or two here!
Thanks for posting a review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and the convenience of the Motel and the location.
Stayed here as a stopover heading to Auckland. We were given a room in the top floor which had great views over looking the lake. Very comfortable and spacious rooms although very dated. Free wifi and 50+ channels of Sky TV were much appreciated especially by my 2 sons! Reasonably priced and friendly helpful staff made for an enjoyable stay. A few dollars spent fixing up the decor would rally set if off. Will recommend to others, well done.
I stayed in a studio apartment. Found the hosts very helpful and friendly. they gave me a choice of rooms.
the apartment was very clean. It had a tub chair which was lovely - you didn't have to sit on the bed. The view was amazing of the lake with the mountains in the background. It also had a very efficient heater which the host put on when showing me the apartment.
Have stayed here a few times. Room 401 is our favorite. Bedroom with a double and single, bath and shower, cooking facilities. This room is very sound proof. Hosts are lovely just ask them if you need something. Free wifi and a pool for warmer months. This place has a lift too. Located very central to shops, bars, gardens etc and there is a viewing platform to look over Lake Taupo right across the road.
Great view, nice and clean and very comfortable bed and hosts friendly.
The place, however, does need a makeover I think, the room we stayed in was on the top floor premium price but furniture is looking tired and we found the heating inadequate.
It is close to town which is a bonus.
