I stayed here while on a tour of New Zealand. The rooms were more than adequate for the group of us in the room. It looked as if the hotel had undergone renovations as the bathrooms were very nice and the room was in very good condition (flat screen TV as well). They have hot tubs on site as well,... More

Located across the road from the largest lake in New Zealand, Lakeland Resort is a place where one goes only when on a budget. Not all the rooms offer the views of the lake and are also not well lit. Infact you can hear people from the neighbouring rooms of all their activities which was quite disappointing. Not much to... More

A disappointing hotel in a dull town. The rooms were clean and that's about all one can say about the place. Its supposedly recently been refurbished, but the rooms are dark and equipped with an oversized TV that may be intended to compensate for the dull decor. The plumbing (in our room at least) was eccentric too. Breakfast was not... More

What a hidden gem this place is. With a "special" room rate of NZ$99 per night, we weren't expecting much but as we approached the impressive reception area, things were hopeful. As we entered our room, we were ecstatic to find a modern, clean, fresh room with a huge plasma TV on the wall, and a "new" feeling to it.... More

We were in Taupo last January, it was a great experience and during summer you can go swimming in the lake! Wonderful. The Hotel is not very close to the city center and it is better to have your own car to reach it however probably if you go to Taupo you must have a car! The hotel is not... More

Got a really good summer deal, arrived and very prompty had our room sorted out, the room was clean if a little dated, bathroom was very tiny but recently updated and decent enough. Big tv, kettle for tea and coffee, small bar fridge. Breakfast was standard. Its a little way out of the town central but overlooks the beautiful lake,... More

The hotel seemed to be OK on surface, but the room had bed bugs. I stayed in Lakeland Resort Taupo on 25th Dec 2008 with Contiki tour. Unfortunately, the room had bed bugs. It came out to bite near my neck area and I turned on the light to squeeze one dead. It was a long time ago, I think... More

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be excellent value for money. We paid $149 per night which included a full cooked and continental breakfast each morning. Our room on the first floor was comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are a little dated, but perfectly functional. Would have been nice to have a microwave... More

Booked the getaway deal for 2 and was delighted with the value we obtained from this deal. We run a B&B in Mount Maunganui and know what a good deal is all about. The staff were kind and courteous and were happy to share a joke with you and did not mind engaging in conversation with guests, in many hotels... More
