Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo, hotel in Taupo

This Millennium Hotel and Resort is located right on the edge of Lake Taupo. It offers luxury accommodations and facilities that include a heated pool, sauna, gym and tennis court.

The first room they gave us the air conditioning didn't work so after a bit of "computer say's no" they upgraded us to a balcony room with great view of the lake & perfect A/C. Good tv, excellent heated pool. Couple of cocktails before a fabulous evening meal in their restaurant. Wendy the Scottish lady on reception very warm & friendly. Great breakfast.

    1-2 days maximum is more than enough.

    1-2 days maximum is more than enough. Food their is great and beautiful coffee, but do keep in mind everything is expensive as it is a tourist spot. Otherwise great location to visit. I visited Huka falls and Wairakei terrace hot pools which was an amazing experience.

    Good selection of activities and a beautiful lake to swim in or take a boat ride. Many choices of restaurants and cafes serving up good tasty food. Lots of retail shops catering for clothing, souvenirs, charity shops, churches and a great library.

    Was not in Taupo long but what I saw looked good. Smaller town with a nice atmosphere. Plenty of places to eat, things to see and do. Getting around Taupo in peak hours is a challenge so time your travel.

    We just wanted the best affordable accommodation as we were passing through to spend the day with family then returned again the next night. Loved having a comfortable and spacious hotel type room to relax in after a long drive.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime. Restaurant and Fast Food place sort of central in about 4 blocks. Huka Falls Jet and Rapid Jet need to consider a shuttle service from downtown Taupo because it is dare for a Uber ride and even darer for a Taxi. My favourite place to eat was Portofino Taupo, their service was exceptional.

    Loved our stay at The Hilton Taupo. Our room had an amazing sweeping views across the lake to the mountains. We stayed in a 1bdrm apartment which was the perfect size for our young family of 3. The room was a fantastic size so we could all stay comfortably. The pool and gym is great and very clean, gardens beautifully kept. But the staff are the best thing we think; from front desk to house keeping everyone was very helpful, laid back but attentive, warm, friendly and professional at every exchange. We will def go back.

    Right next to Taupo Lake, so we went for walks every morning. Cycle for hire was very affordable and convenient. We made full use of the in-room spa and bubble bath, thank you for the lavender soap. Loved the little packets of biscuits with our tea. Rooms were a little tiny but they're perfect for a small family. The balcony and sloping roof give a quaint feeling and ambience. We loved staying here.

    Being on the lake edge in Taupo, the lake view was great and easy to access the lake walk into town, about 5 metres in front of our room. The restaurants provided high quality meals, we had breakfast and dinner. The hotel location was close to the town centre which gives good access to shopping, restaurants and sight seeing. The Waipahihi botanical gardens are close and provide a nice walk option.

    We loved everything about our time at Acacia Cliffs. The home is lovely with an incredible view of Lake Taupo. Neil was a wonderful host, and we enjoyed spending time in the morning chatting with him. Unfortunately, Neil’s wife Stephanie was out of town visiting family, so we didn’t get the chance to meet her. We hope to return at some point in the future!

    The Motel sits directly at Lake Taupo. A short stroll from the town centre and all amenities. 10-12 min from Airport (by car). Even the Motel is located on the main road, the road isn't that busy at night, therefore a good uninterrupted sleep is possible. Carpark direct at property. Lady at reception and Housekeeping ladies very friendly and helpful.

The shower was great good pressure and the bonus was a washing machine and dryer. Will definitely be back to stay when we are in Taupo and would definitely recommend eMotel to whānau and friends

    The Chevron Hotel is in a great location within walking distance to the lake and the centre of town. The rooms were large and included a lounge area and kitchenette. After issues with having to add an extra night during our stay in Taupo, Margaret at reception was very accommodating.

    The location was perfect. It was walking distance to numerous restaurants and to the lake front which was beautiful! The towels were the softest of any hotel in NZ. Oh, and the on-site washer and dryer were a bonus. But, I’d say the staff made it a wonderful experience.

    This is a very quiet location in a South Taupo neighbourhood; easy walk down the hill to the lake pathway (3 km or so into centre of town) and the Botanical Reserve. Great to have the washing machine & outdoor clothes line. Really appreciated the muesli.
