Boasting an idyllic lake front setting, Acacia Lake View Motel offers free WiFi. Some rooms feature a balcony. All have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

Acacia Lake View Motel is just 300-metres from Taupo Town Centre and a 5 minute Tauhara Golf Course. Taupo Airport is a 10-minute drive away. We were checked in by the owners and given some milk for a welcome coffee. Great sized room with a little kitchenette. A nice, somewhat-private outside space with chairs and a table. Jacuzzi spa and a big, modern bathroom. Comfy king sized bed. Amazing location for a great price - especially over NYE!!

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Turangi town centre, Creel Lodge is a 4.5-star Qualmark rated motel offering self-contained suites with a private patio and BBQ facilities.

Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. Creel Lodge is different from the usual motel in its layout. The grounds are really beautiful with lots of plants and lawns. In addition at the back of the property there is a gate leading down to the river path. Highly recommended!

Auto Lodge Motel is located in Hamilton and offers modern accommodation with Free Unlimited Wi-Fi. Various shopping and dining options are available within 10 minutes' drive from the property.

Auto Lodge Motel has opened its new extension building providing an additional 10 Executive King Studios with modern design, luxurious furnishing and facilities for one of Hamilton's best accommodations. I loved the story of the motel that was provided in the folder. It is obvious to see that this motel is a labor of love for this family. Everything about the room was fresh, modern and very clean. We arrived late and really appreciated the welcome reception we received.
