  • ASURE Ascot Motor Inn Review score: 9

  • Lake Taupo Motor Inn Review score: 9

    “It was very nice bed, Bathtub and heater,”

  • Tokaanu Lodge Motel Review score: 9

    “What we really liked about our stay was how pet-friendly the place is, it’s not always easy to find accommodations that welcome dogs, so that was a big plus for us. The location is also great and easy to find, which made things super convenient when we arrived. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make us feel welcome. One unexpected bonus was that they had an EV charger on-site. While it's not free to use, I had lost my EFTPOS card and since it was raining, the owner kindly let me go without paying. It was a small gesture, but it meant a lot. Now, I’ll be honest — the place isn’t brand new. It’s definitely showing its age in some areas but honestly, we weren’t expecting luxury and the value we got more than made up for any wear and tear. Like, who am I to complain? Overall, if you're traveling with pets, need a convenient location, and appreciate warm hospitality on a budget, this is a solid choice.”

  • The Lakehouse - Taupo Review score: 10

    “Size of the rooms & features”

  • Plateau Lodge Review score: 8

    “We stayed in the "King pod" cabin. The room was warm even at the strongest frosty wind. Nice shower, private in the cabin. Great community kitchen. However I was fooled by pictures. There is no greenery in the veranda with the tub, and the room was very small, it was a bit of struggling for us to stay 4 nights there. It would be better in summer as you can use the veranda, but not in winter.”
