Hotels near Craters of the Moon, Taupo

Unexpectedly, this was the most satisfying motel of our two-week North Island trip. Initially, we changed our itinerary, resulting in two separate bookings for three nights in different room types. The friendly white lady at the front desk upgraded our room so we didn't have to change rooms for three nights. The motel had a first-row lake view, a central location, and was only a 2-minute walk from the airport and McDonald's. Everything was well-equipped, with an oven, exhaust fan, and tableware… everything was clean and tidy. Finally, the owners also helped us resolve a small issue we had while grilling steak. We were extremely satisfied and highly recommend it to everyone.

The one-bedroom and one-living room is more soundproofed. It's great to have a direct view of the lake from the living room. Parking is also convenient. Dining is not far away. It's great. The service is very friendly.

The room was spacious and had a balcony with a view of Lake Taupo. It was very clean, and housekeeping did an excellent job. There's a large parking lot below the hotel, making parking convenient. The path from the parking lot to the hotel is also well-lit. However, some rooms were undergoing renovations, and it was quite noisy in the mornings. This could be disruptive if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. Taupo is located in an earthquake zone, and we experienced a small tremor during our stay. It wasn't major, but it was a bit startling. It's good to be aware of this if you're planning a trip to Taupo; apparently, small earthquakes happen several times a year and are quite normal.

The hotel is quiet and clean. The facilities are a bit old, but the environment is clean. The front desk is not 24 hours. If you arrive late, you need to call the front desk. Overall, it is good.

Great 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.

The hotel is a bit old, especially the elevator which is very slow. I was worried it wouldn't be able to handle two people and two suitcases. The accommodation itself was decent, but the real highlight was the small balcony with direct views of Lake Taupo. It's a trade-off, really – comfort versus a lake view. Depends on what you prioritize.

This hotel was wonderful. It was located on the lake and had amazing views to wake up too. The hotel is very family friendly and includes a heated pool and tennis court. I enjoyed going for a morning walk along the lake too. It was a large apartment and the staff were accommodating too. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed in room 837 right up the back. The room was dark and not nice at all! Was ok for 1 night. Staff were friendly. Close to everything. There is a bar/restaurant next door. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

The public area is clean, the location is not far from the central area, and it is very convenient for self-driving tours. The basic facilities are simple but neat and clean. It is very comfortable in autumn, and it may be a bit hot in summer because there is no air conditioning in the room. Overall, I am very satisfied. 

Because of the epidemic, the prices are so cheap. This time is suitable for going out. There are not many guests in the motel, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing others at night. The spa is very spacious and comfortable. I brought my own wine to the past. The overall feeling is very good. it is good
