During summer time a good market is held on Thursdays from 4.30 until 8.30. There was a bar area but the surrounding areas had lots of room for families to put down picnic blankets and enjoy the music, food and friendliness.

Taupo is one of New Zealand"s premier holiday spots. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops. The lake is the main attraction. Taupo is just a bit cold in autumn and winter !

Good town for a relaxing break. Conpact and easy to walk around. Retailers are friendly and welcoming.
"Definitely not your standard “motel” stay! Beautiful, thoughtfully appointed rooms, spotlessly clean and lovely hosts. Great location in the centre of Taupo and walking distance to an endless number of restaurants. We had a two-bedroom suite with a spa bath, and it was more than comfortable for our family of four. The room would have been suitable for a far longer stay than we had time for. Highly recommended."
"I went to taupo for my trip. Stay in silver fern lodge. It gives a very good experience also quite environment. No disturbance and a good with a cheap option room. "
"Wonderful character about this property. Very friendly welcoming team of staff and fabulous views across the lake and to the snow-capped mountains. An impressive range of choice for breakfast options, lovely pool, gym and steam/sauna rooms and an all round wonderful and memorable experience. We will definately be planning to return. "
"The view of the lake was awesome and when the sky was clear you could see Mt ruapehu from our lodging. The heated floor was a bonus for the winter chill and the beds were nice and soft. Town was down the road and family activities were close by. Was an amazing time for me and my family."
