Acacia Bay

Acacia Bay delivers Lake Taupo's best views without the tourist hustle. Sandy beaches invite lazy days of swimming and kayaking, while scenic walking tracks wind along the shoreline. Pack a picnic to catch those jaw-dropping sunsets painting the western sky, or try your luck fishing for lake trout in crystal-clear waters. Casual lakeside cafes serve fresh fish and ice cream, but most close early. Most visitors stay in holiday homes and baches with kitchens instead of hotels. A car is essential for exploring since public transport is limited, though walking paths connect the main lakefront areas.

Lakeland Resort Taupo

Lakeland Resort Taupo

4/10 Poor
"So disappointed. Cost alot of money and did not feel we got value for money. Our room was 2 levels up and was not sound proof from people next door if they were talking outside. The room was very basic. Not as nice as it looked on line. Bed was okay but not great. Hubby and I didnt sleep well, had a pretty terrible night. During the night, not sure what time, it sounded like pipes making this terrible noise. Like someone turned on a tap. It startled us both. So biggest downside was price for a very basic room. Noise from people outside talking, so had to close windows. Basic bed. Definitely not value for money. I know a place as big as this must struggle in this tough economy but if we are going to treat ourselves to a motel/hotel its a treat and this definitely wasnt. "
