We had the perfect little lodge house right on the beach of lake Taupo. Great to see the sunset and be in a tranquil spot. The property was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. Bron the host was very welcoming and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for the night.

eMotel had everything we needed and more —totally exceeded our expectations! •Perfect & quiet location (walking distance to everything) •Spacious apartment with own parking slot outside the unit •Super comfy and warm beds •Lots of power outlets and charging ports •The bathroom and toiletries were way better than those from hotels •With TVs in every room, but we liked the living room the most because we got to do family bonding over a Netflix movie while lounging at their recliners and couch. •Fully-equipped kitchen (the Nespresso coffee machine was a plus!) •Used a digital keypad lock instead of the usual key or key cards •The owners were very kind and welcoming

Very nice and functional unit, great view of Lake Taupo. The owner was very pleasant and we appreciate how we was able to accommodate a last minute request with our dates due to closure of the Tongariro Alpine crossing for a few days.

    we didn't know when we booked about the roadworks on the road outside the motel, and were very happy the motel put us in a downstairs quiet room. Thank you!. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious and without the roadworks would have had access to the lake across the road. We didn't see the staff but were given the code for the box the get our room key, very covid friendly

    Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.
