Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort
It met our needs for our stay in Taupo. Unfortunately the motel is a bit tired and has lost facilities, like the restaurant. It was easy to use the path to the river and into town

Lakefront Lodge Taupo
Nice clean room in good location. It was extremely hot during our stay and the provided fans just weren’t enough to keep us cool at night-AC would have been great

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The only comment we would make is that it is a little bit dated.
