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 wasn’t 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.

Wonderful place to stay

Excellent stay

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.

Really lovely small inn our room is spacious and has a lovely patio with the lake view. Staff is very friendly and text us directly to us for check in information. Appreciate it.

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.

Nice area

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!

Beautiful view of Lake.

My hubby and I went away for a weekend and we really enjoyed staying here. Very nice people and very friendly. Nice place to relax and enjoy a soak in the hot tub outside our room. We will be back!!

This was a nice clean hotel in the Lake Taupo area. It served our needs ... and we would stay again.

This property is wow nice! Very nice roomy and clean, with a nice geothermal tub in the patio just outside the bedroom.

The suite was well-equipped if you want to prepare simple food, and there was a great private natural thermal, in-ground tub outside our room.

We loved the warm pool, spacious and clean family room, great location to waterfront. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Our room had a view of the lake, easy walk to the beach. Enjoyed the geothermal tub on the back patio.

A stunning property with amazing facilities. Highly recommended.

Very accomodating and a lovely motel, it’s very quiet , clean , with great views from upstairs. Only a 2 minute walk to the lake front. Thanks to the hosts who are lovely and made it an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend this motel to all 😀😀😀

Very helpful and friendly. Great to have EV charging available.

Spacious with a lovely balcony with a view

Really nice stay in family 2 bedroom unit. Great view from deck. Great amenities and easy checkin. The second bedroom didn’t have air conditioning so it got warm with door close. Also, since 2nd floor we needed to carry luggage up stairs. Maybe a problem for some. Overall great stay.

My recent stay at Baycrest was a serene retreat into nature. Tucked away in a picturesque setting, the lodge offered a perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. The cozy rooms, friendly staff, and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Will definitely be returning

Great first motel experience

A beautiful little gem! I love the pool. I love how I can walk to the lake and swim the Ironman course.

Amazing view Heated pools

Absolutely 5 star from entry to exit

Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Excellent service.

Good stay. Would come here again
