Amazing stay in Taupo. Loved the thermal pool and used it every day. Great view of the Lake. Would recommend to family & friends

Great repeat stay in this motel - 11 years apart. Quiet and comfortable room with spa bath and great view over the bay. About 2 kilometres from the town centre - 35 minute walk along the bay footpath.

Our favourite stay in Taupo, spacious snd quiet. The hot pool is a definite bonus!

We had a lovely stay in our lodge. It was in a very peaceful location at the end of the lake walkway. The kitchen area was fully stocked with cup glasses pots etc. the room was comfortable with chairs and cushions. The highlight was undoubtedly the spa bath on the patio. It was easy to fill and stayed hot for a long time. The garden area was also beautiful. Although to claim a lake view was optimistic there was a privacy fence in the way.

Probably the best laundry facilities in the whole country! That was welcome and needed at that stage of our trip. Large washers, real dryers, and ample hanging racks. So great! Some internet connection issues, and private pool drained and not useable, but would stay again in a minute.

We had a beautiful, spacious room with a view of the lake. With a heated outdoor pool, a view, walkable to town, and helpful hosts, this accommodation ticked all the boxes. A special shout-out to the managers and cleaning staff who were kind and considerate. I would definitely recommend.

This was a great property except for the lack of parking. Due to being full we had to park on the street.

We only arrived at 7pm and had to leave for the airport at 6:30 am but the place was wonderful. Very spacious. Friendly service. Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Very convenient. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Exceptional place to stay. Clean facilities. Beautiful private and puplic thermal pools. Great location. Quick and easy check in and check out. Cant recommend more. Me and my partner came for a stay for our anniversary weekend, romantic setting perfect for anyone wanting to share it with their love ones. Thanks Caren and Hamish for setting us up with the perfect stay!

This accommodation is spacious and comfortable.
Loved the bed!
We were in room 17 and it had a fabulous view of the lake.
The heated pool is a bonus but with the cold outside temperatures currently it wasnโt quite hot enough. It sits at 35 but really needs to be up around 38 for it to be a pleasant soak that keeps you warm.
The location is a little bit from the town but still quite central.
The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

Only there one night, but the room was delightful. I'm sure the view would have been great if not for the clouds and rain. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at Baycrest during our first visit to New Zealand in 2007 and it's still a great choice for the Taupo area.
Our room was huge with a lovely balcony and views of the lake. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was also AC which was a real plus in 75-80F weather. The property is in good condition and they offer free parking and also have a small pool. We were grateful to have access to laundry ($4NZD for a wash and $4NZD to dry) after hiking the Tongariro Northern Circuit.
The managers were so kind and helpful. When we couldn't get an uber or cab, they drove us with all of our bags up to pick up our rental car.
The one downside for us is that we didn't have a rental car for most of our days there. There are a few ubers and taxis but not many and town is a 1.5 mi walk (about 30 min). But if you have a car, it won't be a problem.
Also, there's a great little coffee truck right by the lake near Baycrest that opens at 7:30am if you don't want to go into town first thing.

Location and great hospitality

An extremely warm welcome from Karen on reception who made us feel at home and gave us information on the local area. The room was big and very clean as was the bathroom. We had a lovely view of the lake from our balcony. It was only just over a mile to walk into the Centre which was an easy walk along side the lake. A really enjoyable stay and would stay again.

Our stay was very relaxing and rejuvenating. Our lake view room was spacious, clean and always stocked with milk, towels, toiletries. The on premises laundry was extremely helpful as we were traveling for a month from overseas. The hosts were gracious as well as informed. This was the best stop on our journey!
