We had no idea what a paradise Lake Taupo Lodge would be! The surrounding gardens and views from our room and patio were absolutely stunning. Gary was the ultimate host, ensuring everything was taken care of and offering various services to enhance our stay. The chef's cocktail hour and breakfast preparations were of gourmet quality. The room was lovely and included many features and some food and beverages that were gratis. Parking was so convenient - right on the premises. We only wish we could have spent more time there.

This was one of our best stays during a 3-week NZ trip. Warm welcome, great setting, wonderful amenities, and an enchanting couple of hosts. Breakfast was outstanding and the recommendations of the hosts for activities and gastronomy spot on. The house breaths FLW (one of our favorites).

Staying at Lake Taupo Lodge was part of a 19 day touring/golf adventure in NZ. This luxury lodge exceeded all expectations from the moment the owner, Gary, greeted us at the door. The lovely room overlooking the lake was both large, comfortable and, well, just perfect. The hospitality continued each evening for drinks and canapes and each morning for a wonderful breakfast prepared by a truly talented and hospitable chef who quickly became a friend. This is a great Lodge to enjoy while in Taupo. Ed and Dan Koehler
