The lodge was absolutely gorgeous and was exquisitely appointed with beautiful landscaped grounds overlooking Lake Taupo. Our hosts, Gary and Shirley, paid great personal attention to every detail, from showing us all the the features of our room, to ensuring all of our dinner reservations were arranged properly. The afternoon hor d'oeuvres and wine and morning breakfasts were also delicious.

Great hospitality, lovely setting. Excellent cooked breakfast. Good position for exploring the region. The only thing lacking was in-house dining at night but this is available in busy periods. and the host provides details of local restaurants.

Excellent experience!!

What an absolute pleasure to stay at Lake Taupo Lodge. This stylish boutique lodge has a fantastic retro appeal and lake views. We stayed in the Cherrywood suite which was clean, cozy and roomy. The attention to detail is a highlight. I wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the gardens and patios. Breakfast was homecooked and 5 star! Hosts Gary and Shirley were lovely and helpful.

I will review this property in bullet points due to insufficient space. -5 star, luxurious accomodation -Beautiful decor, inc. paintings & furniture -Chef Chris, star of the hotel, friendly & welcoming, goes out of his way -Delicious breakfast, warm croissants, toast & fruit salad -Pines Executive Suit-warm, clean, homely -Loved the bath, spacious shower & comfortable bed -attention to detail in all areas of the lodge - @ $744 a night, expected extraordinary service instead Gary the owner was hostile -Paid fully through Expedia before arriving at the lodge, showed Gary (owner) my booking -Gary, said to me "Are you aware of the tariffs this accomodation incurs?-rude -Owner offered a glass of wine which was never given, small detail but significant for a "luxury" accom. -Breakfast the next morning, Gary said to me that his bank card went missing and I thought what does this have to do with me? And then told me that he had actually found it. I believe he was trying to make me uncomfortable. He didn't make an effort to make small talk, so it was weird. -At breakfast, harassed me, regarding details of my debit card as he stated that he didn't know how to access the payment from Expedia (interesting since he has lots of reviews of people who have obviously booked through Expedia)- inappropriate since we were trying to enjoy our breakfast, there's a time & place. -Complained to Expedia, Gary denied. He tried to call, we were over it.

Great Lodge

My wife and I stayed here for two nights March 2017. The lodge has a feeling more like a staying in a private home. Our room was very spacious with a great lake view. Gary and his wife make your stay very special. They have an excellent knowledge of the area and provided recomendations for day trips. The grounds a fabulous with many species of exotic plantings. The whole experience was world class.

Pricey for what you get

This is more of a bed and breakfast. Not a lodge and it is in a private house with the owners living on the floor below the main floor. Helpful hosts but was surprised of the feel of this place because it is someones house. We felt that it lacked privacy. Nice views, dated interior, and about a 5-10 minute drive outside the main town of Taupo.

Elegant Lodge with views of the Lake.

In the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, this lodge, set in a beautiful garden, has a wonderful ambience with stunning views over the Lake Taupo. The accommodation is state of the art with underfloor heating, gas fire and modern facilities. The owners and staff went out of their way to look after our every need and advise us as to the sights to be visited in the area. The breakfast was one of the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. The choice was huge and outstanding using only the freshest and best ingredients. The muesli was homemade and an absolute standout ,the croissants imported from France, and the coffee was excellent. There was chopped fruit, yoghurt and about eight choices for a hot gourmet breakfast, not usually found in the best hotels.
