Alpine Lake Motor Lodge, Taupo, New Zealand

Awesome room with a 2yo in tow, she loved the spa bath The private court yard with bbq worked really well.

Very helpful owners. When I rang prior, Shaun went and checked the room (including the TV channels!) and rang straight back. Late checkin - we arrived to a spotlessly clean, toasty room. They stored valuables overnight for us between bookings, no dramas. We checked out a bit late - not a problem. Very comfy beds.

Great stay, nice clean motel. friendly staff.

Staff were lovely but you could tell things were on the cheap. Room was noisy and needed a refresh. Bedroom roof had evidence of water leak and roofing boards were bubbling and coming lose. Fan in bathroom was seized- didn't work. Blinds in bedroom blocked out about as much light as glad wrap sunglasses, don't expect to sleep past 8am in summer.

Room was very comfortable. Reception staff welcoming and very friendly. Location perfect for our trip. Close to everything. A couple of things went a bit stray. Our fridge and stove top seemed to have a mind of their own. Fridge froze everything including our eggs even though we adjusted the thermostat, the stove top only knew how to burn everything and a fuse must have blown cause we had no hot water the first night. But these things can be fixed. Other than those things, we enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable rooms with everything you need and handy location.
