It’s ok, but the only single-storey room is arranged. This is the second booking, because I was staying on the upper and lower floors before I felt good and I would continue to choose this one. After reacting with the store, I still wouldn’t change it. Happy
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.
After 5 nights into our road trip it was a welcome relief to stay at The Cove - spacious, very clean, friendly staff and a great view of the lake. We actually spent a couple of hours just chilling out in the sun soaked suite. It’s great to see a hotel/motel still offering shampoo etc in little containers - something about the big bottles attached to the wall that most hotels do nowadays grosses me out :) The only downfall are the steps, so beware if you have heavy luggage but there are ground floor units. The cafe for breakfast is amazing! Excellent food, service and incredible view of the lake!
Very Good

Very good, very good car hotel, very clean, bath water is very good, the boss also prepares coffee, tea, coco, as well as milk, sugar. The room can accommodate 2 adults and one child. The quilt is thick and thin and sleeps well.
The room we stayed in was very comfortable, very clean and very interesting - full of memorabilia from the 60s and 70s. There was a very nice shared garden area for all guests to use. We didn’t, as the weather wasn’t suitable, but it would be a lovely space in appropriate weather. Love the amount of thought and passion that the owners have put into the unit. Definitely recommend staying here
Clean, modern (compared to many in NZ), lovely room. My kids were so happy at the sight of our room no.7 on the upper floor! Convenient location walkable to some shops. If you’re hunting for by the lake views u can consider Boulevard Waters (stayed there too) but this was more than sufficient for us. Contented! We will be back!
We spent three nights at this very comfortable hotel in Taupo in early June. We were visiting our daughter who lives in the town but didn’t have enough room for us to stay. I was after a hotel with a view of the beautiful lake, but still within walking distance to town as we didn’t have a car. Suncourt Hotel fitted the brief perfectly. We booked a Premier Deluxe Lakeview Studio room. The room that we were allotted was on the top floor. There was no lift, so you needed to climb the outdoor steps with luggage. Our room was very large, with a king size bed, a desk, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. There was also a very large balcony with a stunning view of the lake and a further two chairs and a small table. The reception staff were very helpful not only with our original reservation, but also when we needed to add a night and with any questions that we had. The only downside to me was that their restaurant was not open on the evening that we checked in, which was Sunday, and also not for breakfast on the Monday morning. We did know this in advance though, and as the town was easily walkable it wasn’t a problem. We had two breakfasts in the restaurant, and they were excellent. As we had other dinner plans, we didn’t have dinner in the restaurant, but our daughter and her partner have eaten there and loved it. If you are looking for a very large hotel room with a view, then Suncourt is for you. I believe they have much larger apartment style rooms which would be more suitable for families, although we didn’t get to see any of these.
The resort is right on the beach, separated by a road. Although there is no sea view, the room is quite comfortable. The receptionist is full of energy. There is a heated swimming pool in the hotel. The room is relatively large. It is good to cook your own meals in the kitchen at night.
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.
The room is large, the location is great, and parking is free. Just outside the hotel is Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest freshwater lake. The hotel facilities are very new, the beds are big, and the Wi-Fi is very good. The hotel is very close to the city.

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
GGuest UserWe stayed here as one nighters both in late January and early February. There were 2 single beds in the room as well as a Queen. 2 bathrooms also, the handbasin's hot water was only a tickle from the tap in the upstairs bathroom in unit 3. There was a big spa bath which we did not use. There was both an outdoor sitting.lounging area downstairrs and very sunny balcony upstairs - great for a sundown drink. The February stay had us in a room with only one signle bed and a Queen bed, no updtairs, and a outdoor seating/lounging area, The rooms are clean, well equiped, comfortable and spacious enough. Plenty of bath towels provided also. The rooms reek of air freshner, which I hated but some establishments clearly like using it liberally and unnecessarily. A short walk down a back path on the premises will take you down to the lakeside walkway and beach area, we walked around to the lovely outdoor seating lakeside Millenium bar and had a drink, it was a nice quite spot. The decor is dated and the wallpaper is peeling in parts, a refurb should be on the cards soon. It is very popular so it must be appealing enough. Yes, I would recommend (if you only require a clean bed for the night. Reasonably priced also.
GGuest UserThere was a muck up (mine!) with my booking. No dramas, a room was found for me, and it was stunning. Best bathroom ever! Quiet, clean and comfortable. The room was light and easily accessible. The gardens around the motel were beautiful and well maintained.
We had Rm 303, 3rd floor. We loved the fabulous view of Lake Taupo. We liked the proximity to eateries. Beds were comfy, so were pillows and sheets. Staff we saw were frirndly too. But, this motel had its heyday in the 1980s and is in need of a full refurb. It shows. Lift was noisy (outside our room). Traffic noise noticeable, motel is on a very busy road so couldnt leave window open. To access the bedroom one had to go through the bathroom (toilet not separate). Or, if you were in the 2nd bedroom, you were trapped in there until the person finished in the bathroom. Light switch for bathroom in the kitchen. No air con/heat pump. Only portable fans or oil fin heaters. Everything tired, although clean. Shower pressure not strong and you have to step up into it, and step down to get out of it. Could be an issue for elderly or people with mobility issues. We thought there are newer motels that are better value in Taupo to stay at.
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.
Be warned this is not what it advertises. Firstly access is by Pin numbers to (a) the property and (b) to your room. There were no staff on site at 5pm on a Saturday. The property is new and may suit tired truckies but few else. Bedrooms with facilities consist of a bed a clothes rack 2 lights switches and a TV that only shows the basics. Most rooms appear offered with communal toilet & showers. No other furniture. The shower was fine and the bathroom clean but that' about all. The Diner next door is under separate management. The sign on the door states opening hours 8am to 8pm daily. I checked in the evening to plan for breakfast but gave up at 8.15am when there was not a single sole on the premises.

Spa Thermal Park
王王海娃子The air is filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and white gas is coming out of the stone seams. The entire geothermal hot spring park makes people feel the pulse of the earth we live in and is a resource for the benefit of mankind.
Taupo Museum and Art Gallery
乐乐天的静This is a very small museum, and the student ticket costs 3 yuan. There are only four exhibition areas, and there are not many exhibits, but they are all very distinctive. The African artworks are impressive. In addition, the Lake Gallery is also good, narrating the history of Lake Taupo development and deep forest reclamation.
Craters of the Moon
王王海娃子The uneven surface of the surface is really the kind of potholes on the lunar surface, and there will be geothermal heat from time to time. New Zealand is rich in geological landforms, and it is a good place to take a view of the lunar surface!
Lava Glass - Glassblowing Studio, Sculpture Garden, Art Gallery, Café
钢钢琴家勇哥Fiery Craftsmanship: Our Visual Feast at LAVA Glass Art Studio
When we stepped into the LAVA Glass Art Studio on the North Island of New Zealand, a fiery and creative atmosphere immediately surrounded us. This is not only a place to display glass artworks, but also a wonderful space to experience the charm of glass making on the spot. We are full of anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming exploration journey.
The interior of the studio is colorful, and the light shines through a variety of glass works, reflecting dreamy light and shadow. We saw many exquisite glass artworks here, from exquisite ornaments to large-scale installation art, each work embodies the infinite creativity and superb skills of the artists. We shuttled between these works, and every step could feel the unique charm and infinite possibilities of glass art.
What fascinated us most was the on-site glass making performance. Next to the high-temperature furnace, the artists wore professional protective clothing and used long-pole tools to skillfully shape the molten glass. We saw the birth process of a glass work from scratch, which was a magical experience of transforming fire and sand into art. In this process, we not only witnessed the artists' mastery of materials, but also felt their persistent pursuit of beauty.
In the studio shop, we also have the opportunity to buy these unique glass artworks. Each piece is handmade and carries the artists' hard work and soul. We carefully selected them and hoped to take these New Zealand-style artworks home as unforgettable souvenirs of our journey.
As the visit came to an end, our impression of LAVA Glass Art Studio became more and more profound. This is not only a place to display and sell glass artworks, but also a vivid classroom for people to understand glass art and experience the creative process. Our journey has added a special cultural experience because of this visit, and the fiery ingenuity and creativity will shine in our memory for a long time.
Ngātoroirangi Mine Bay Māori Rock Carvings
王王海娃子The Maori people come from the tropical Pacific islands and retain the living habits and characteristics of the Pacific Island tribes. These living habits and characteristics will not be erased by changes in the living environment!
Lilliput Taupo Animal Park
王王海娃子Close contact with animals, especially New Zealand cattle and sheep and alpacas, feeding and playing. The craft of local sheep cutting knife is also good. The fastest record for artificial frying wool is less than ten seconds!
