The ease of being able to check in and out without going to reception is a useful feature (we arrived in good time to see the helpful gentleman on reception to check in). We did not use the full facilities of the lounge and kitchen. The room and bathroom were clean. The room was nicely a presented, comfortable bed and functional for what we needed during our stay in Taupo. We ate at Thai delight, a short walk away and had a lovely meal that came promptly and with good service.

GGuest UserThe room is large, the kitchen is fully equipped, there are pots and pans, and there is a water spray jacuzzi. The hotel environment is very good, the boss is warm and humorous, the hotel has a swimming pool and hot spring pool, suitable for short-term vacation living.
HHONGYUThe deluxe room with sea view, the hotel's old lady said that she made a mistake, left us a normal room without any scenery, and said that if we did not set a hotel for the second night, we could stay in the sea view room for free for one night. However, the itinerary has already been arranged. . . The rooms are very good, clean, and there are some equipments, that is, we are honeymoon, we have made a mistake in the room and feel lost. . . It’s expensive, staying for a bottle of milk, you can make coffee
This place was fantastic for us. We are a big family with the need for an accessible room suitable for a wheelchair, as well as the space for two families with 2 young children each. It's a tricky requirement to fulfil and nearly impossible to get it just right, but The Village Resort managed to tick the boxes. It was a bonus to also have a great playground for the kids, a tennis court and a lovely swimming pool and spa. And all walkable into the centre of town. Unfortunately, the whole resort wasn't quite fully accessible, but the rooms had what we needed, and with the help of some strong members we managed to get us all into the pool. With decent and affordable accessible options hard to find, we will definitely be thinking of here if we return to Taupō again.
First the pros: The room is spacious, Parking was available. The location is quiet and close to town centre. Shampoo and conditioner were good quality now the cons: The room was not clean. There were water and other marks on the glass enclosure to the shower and on the walls around the shower. I washed the tub before using it since there was some sort of grime on it. There was a rust mark on the toilet. The floor in the bathroom was not clean. I washed the dish and coffee cup and cutlery that I used because they were not clean. The microwave is v old. It is one of those that you rotate the dial and have to use the timer on your phone and then manually turn off. The worst part of the stay, however, was the bed. The mattress was shot. It was lumpy...I could not find a place to sleep that did not dent and that I did not feel springs. When I sent a message the next morning the manager came up and referred to a mattress topper but there was none. It might have made a difference, but a mattress topper would not be sufficient to make this mattress comfortable. It needs to be replaced. I envy the people who commented positively on their stay at this hotel. Clearly, they did not stay in room 8.
10 mins out of town and a great little place to stay with or without dogs. I had 2 dogs in a 1 bed unit so more room for their beds than a studio. Older style but good clean rooms, great shower and fully caters for dogs. Take own beds and bowls etc. Field right next to Motel too. Lovely friendly owners. Would love to stay again.
杨杨Hotel location is good, just on the edge of Lake Taupo, you can see the lake view when you go out, there is a hot spring pool in the room to let you bubble for free, but we did not soak, four people stay, a total of three beds, a large bed 2 small beds, the room can cook, very convenient
AAnonymous UserThe location is excellent. I stayed in this hotel before the epidemic. I stayed in a three-bedroom apartment on the first floor that time. It was very good. This time we only booked a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor. The facilities and equipment are a bit old, but the bedding and towels are all new and high-quality. There are pots, bowls, induction cookers, etc., hot water in the spa bath and other facilities are very convenient. Downstairs There are washing machines and dryers available, please note that they are available from 8am to 8pm. There is also a BBQ for guests to use, and it is very convenient to check in and out. The cleaning staff are very friendly, but the front desk staff are not too enthusiastic. The overall experience is not bad. I will stay here again next time I come to Taupo. Ctrip has an advantage in price👍
We were forced to book this room as one of the only available alternatives after a cyclone closed all roads leading to Hawke’s Bay. While the town of Taupo seems like a fun place for recreational activities (fishing, boating, cycling, IronMan competition, etc.), it generally seems to offer much better lodging than this property. While the location was convenient, near the CBD and lake, the rooms and clientele left a lot to be desired. The walls were paper thin, the neighboring guests were loud and in general seemed sketchy. On the bright side, the room was clean and sanitary. Free on-site parking and swimming pool with above ground 6 person spa tub (neither of which were used by us). The seating area directly outside our sliding glass door was narrow and shared in common with all other adjoining rooms which provided zero privacy but abundant opportunities for second-hand smoke. Not our first choice.
GGuest UserThere are some car hotels, right next to Lake Taupo, the scenery does not say, the car stops at the door of the room, very convenient, very suitable for self-driving travel. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, cooking and bathing are not a problem. It is very close to the supermarket and the place to eat, and there are two or three intersections by car. The New Zealand big sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and stayed with milk.
匿匿名遊客Room is clean, tidy and spacious. Nice to have a balcony but it is by the side of road. A private kitchen or kitchenette is not included but there is a large common kitchen in the 2/F. Like most hotels or motels there, there is nobody in the reception counter from 8:40 pm to 10 am next day. Good to have free undercover on-site parking.
