Independent, Taupo Hotels

Everything about this establishment is top notch. We were given a free room upgrade when we arrived. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well furnished with extra touches such as home made biscuits in the coffee and tea service area, a bowl of fresh fruit, robes in the closet, etc. High quality bathroom products and luxurious linens and towels are part of the attention Brian and Gilly give their guests. The breakfast was fantastic with home made muffins, lemon butter, jams, yogurt as well as eggs cooked to order with choice of breakfast meat. The hosts serve wine and beer to guests each evening at six pm and provide suggestions and info re local restaurants in Taupo. The Pillars is one of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed.

This was one of the most memorable experience I've had in hospitality. We were so well looked after and everything was impeccable. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a luxury stay away. The hosts Becky and Rob are a wonderful couple.

Everything was marvelous the first night. The rooms are amazing with great views and were very spacious. The only concern we had was that the people above us were partying and drinking into the night. There is a phone in the unit, but there is not indication how to call the attendants of the facility. So we had to walk outside to the front of the apartments to the front desk.. no one was there. Picked up the phone that re-directs you to their phone line.. we told them what was going on and they said they would take care of it. It quieted down for an hour or so but then they go noisy again. Had a terrible sleep on the second night as a result. There is even a sign saying "noisy partying will not be tolerated after 10pm and will lead to eviction, no questions". If I'm paying top dollar per night I expect to get a good night's rest. You should be abel to enforce your policies.

What an absolute pleasure to stay at Lake Taupo Lodge. This stylish boutique lodge has a fantastic retro appeal and lake views. We stayed in the Cherrywood suite which was clean, cozy and roomy. The attention to detail is a highlight. I wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the gardens and patios. Breakfast was homecooked and 5 star! Hosts Gary and Shirley were lovely and helpful.

Hospitality was warm and welcoming, a very enjoyable and relaxing time.

We are on a trip around NZ, and have been staying at a few motels thus far. Beechtree Suites is the best we have stayed at by far! This is the only motel we have come across with a safe deposit box in the room. The room was extremely comfortable. The location is perfect, with a family run diner right opposite which was great for breakfast. Ther are many other dining options close by. We would definitely recommend this motel to everyone.

We had a one night stay, very clean studio room, comfortable bed. Great view of Lake Taupo and mountains. Lots to look at on the lake while sitting on our balcony. Very friendly service. The private access to the lake walkway was a bonus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Baycrest Lodge. Our upstairs room (#17) was quiet, roomy, well-appointed and had a lovely view of the lake from the balcony. The king-sized bed was very comfortable and the furnishings were nice. There was plenty of room for luggage and we didn't feel cramped., as is the case in many hotel rooms We appreciated the free Wi-Fi and that the hotel used environmentally-friendly products in the bathroom. The front desk staff person was very friendly and helpful. He gave us several recommendations and answered our questions about things in the area. The Lodge is located a few minutes drive from the main part of town (about 10-15 walk). We'd definitely recommend Baycrest Lodge and would stay there again if we get the chance to return to Taupo.

I spent 1 night is this fantastic place. Views are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful! Very comfortable facilities and I loved the shower!!

Stayed at Bella Vista for a wedding and really enjoyed it. Nice quiet location, but still close enough to walk to town or the lake. The hosts were very friendly, especially "Walter" ! Very helpful and happy to suggest local attractions that were reasonably priced. Will definitely stay again and recommend this motel to friends, family and clients.
