Lakefront Lodge Taupo
We stayed in the basic room. It was very small but adequate. The room was clean, the bed was firm and the walls are nit sound proofed in any way. Having stayed in many similar hotels in Taupo, the standard of the Lakefront is comparable with them. It was great to be relatively close to town.

Oasis Beach Motel
Too much light in the master bedroom and the facilities a little dated. But otherwise good value for money.

Lakeland Resort Taupo
As always, the reception staff were warm and welcoming. Great to be able to have a swim and a hit of tennis in the evening too.
