Top Motuoapa Hotel Reviews

The Cove Taupo

The Cove Taupo

8/10 Good
"The hotel is a little outside Taupo town centre, but it’s a very good choice if you’re just passing through, don’t need to visit the town centre, and especially if you’re planning to visit Taupo DeBretts Hot Springs. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel’s café, Espresso Cove Taupo, is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I was also assigned a room without an elevator, so I had to carry my 23 kg suitcase and the rest of my luggage up and down the stairs myself. This was quite inconvenient, especially with heavy luggage. Overall, the location is convenient for a short stopover."
