“An Unexpected Maze of Delight”
If you’re looking for delicious food, sparkling clean rooms, and the kind of hotel layout that makes you question whether you’ve accidentally entered a witness protection program — this is the place for you.
Let’s start with the food: Chef’s kiss. I’d drive across three postcodes and two mildly illegal U-turns just to have their breakfast again. The scrambled eggs? Fluffy little clouds of joy. The bacon? So crispy it filed for emancipation. And the dinner? Let’s just say I proposed to my dessert.
The room? Immaculate. Clean enough to perform surgery in. I dropped a piece of popcorn behind the bedside table and found absolutely no dust, no suspicious stains, and no mystery hair. 10/10, would snoop again.
Now… the layout.
Imagine booking a room at a lovely hotel. You check in at the front desk, all smiles and suitcases, and then they hand you a map that looks like it was drawn by a drunk pirate. “Just follow the driveway, take a left at the third bush, go behind the laundry shed, ignore the goats (they’re decorative), and your room is the one just past the third time you question your life choices.”
I drove around the back like I was trying to escape from the FBI. Every turn felt like a side quest. I found myself in areas where I wasn’t sure if I was still on hotel property or had entered Narnia. Google Maps gave up. Even Siri was like, “Dude, you’re on your own.”
BUT — once I did find my room, it was like discovering a hidden treasure. Peaceful, quiet, with views of a tree that may or may not have judged me. And honestly? It was all part of the charm. You don’t forget a place like this.
Would I stay again? Absolutely. I just might drop breadcrumbs next time so I can find my way back.

It's a small and neat motel. The man at the front desk is very nice. There is WIFI, a microwave and an electric hot pot. There are also many restaurants near the lake. I will stay here next time I come to Taupo.

Wow! Excellent hotel, it's even strange to call it a motel, because the level is higher! Before this we were supposedly in a 4* hotel in Rotorua, but it was much worse. There is a wonderful administrator, clean and comfortable rooms, and a separate feature - its own round bath with springs (mineral water) in a separate room, beautifully decorated. The bed is also comfortable, there is parking, the territory is beautiful, the view of the lake is also excellent. We can 100% recommend this place!

Good location, very good rooms but the sofas and some quilts need to be changed as they were dirty and old. Something needs to be done to the noise as we could hear other guests of the other rooms.
The manager, I believe he is Chinese , was very polite, helpful and kind.

The 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👍

If you are looking for a full kitchen suite, there should be better ones. The location is good. Unfortunately as a family vacation we have big luggage. Was assigned the second floor for a one bedroom unit.
Sheltered carpark is available.

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.
GGuest UserThe hotel is close to Lake Taupo and it is very convenient to walk around the lake in the morning. The room is well-equipped for cooking, clean and hygienic, and the Indian waiters are warm and welcoming. But there is a charge for washing clothes.
AAnonymous UserWe had a 2 bedroom apartment in double storey. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Check-in was a breeze. Front desk was very helpful and brought us to our room.
It comes with a fully equipped kitchenette with washer and dryer.
Will not hesitate to recommend The Village Resort to anyone.
It was a wonderful experience staying at this place.
GGuest UserThe room is very big and suitable for family living. The single bed room is very quiet to sleep in. The most beautiful thing is that there is a small yard in the room where you can sit outside to eat breakfast, watch the sunrise, watch the sea, and there are many seabirds flying in front of you. You can also touch the geothermal water when you walk out, and the room can also be directly heated and smoked
AAlice BunGreat hotel stay with complete amenities for self cook dinner, located by the lake front with breathtaking sunset set view! And we have new pets for the day, cutie cat welcome us to Accent!
Overall is great except for the insulation around the house not strong enough as it can be quite cold during night ….
Highly recommended for families and groups of friends enjoy the stay here.
GGuest UserVery satisfactory experience. Clean, comfortable, everything we needed. Warm, friendly welcome, great guest book with good tips! We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.
YYUEIt’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
KKANAlthough it is a motel, the sanitary environment is very good and the facilities are well maintained. If you don't drive from the city center, it will be a little far away, but the location is very good for driving travelers, walking distance from the lake, and very quiet.
Breakfast is average, but there are many delicious foods in town. Annie at the front desk is very helpful, thanks!
GGuest UserThe hotel is clean and tidy, well-regulated, the location is very good, just by the Taobo Lake, parking is convenient. The front desk seems to be a Taiwanese uncle who is very friendly and can communicate in Chinese.
GGuest UserThere was a heated pool so I had a great time staying warm.
It was close to the lake, so the view was nice, and there was a supermarket nearby, so shopping was easy. It was good
