Booking was a breeze. We arrived late and did not meet the owners or staff, but a self assured ginger cat was present and supervised us. The room had "ensuite" without any toilet, which I would have liked but this was clear at the time of booking. The clean and well appointed kitchen was great and opened on to comfortable outside deck with tables, chairs, outside furniture. The provision of tea and real ground coffee and plungers was superb.
Whether you are looking to stay in a self-contained motel or in a more unique accommodation type such as a retro kombi cabin, or a boat house themed bungalow, Motuoapa Bay Holiday Park has all 3.

I'd never used a B'n'B before and we couldn't find accommodation in Taupo for the Supercars. I was pleasantly surprised. Very clean, comfortable and just right for one or two people. Host was lovely and prompt with any comms between us. Booking.com says 3 nights but we actually added another night (4 night stay).
Happy with our choice.

Turangi has many interesting outdoor activities, and it is in the central North Island with mountains, rivers, Lake Taupo nearby, but we were just passing through and for us it was a place to break the long journey, rather than a destination in itself.

It's a great stopover location say between Auckland and Wellington but it's hard to find good food and the prices e.g. food and petrol reflect a lack of true competition and a feeling "well, you've got little choice"

A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo.
A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo. We stayed two nights and used it as our base for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, so it was perfect for that. Oreti Resort is about 14km from Turangi, so you definitely need a car for eating out etc.

We found plenty to do in our 3 day stay. We popped up to Taupo and went to Orakei korako. Then to beautiful lake Rotopounamu and walked around that. And did the picturesque river walk. We hired a rental car so we could look around easily. We could have easily filled in a whole week.

Central to some wonderful activities such as great rafting, the walk Tongariro crossing, Ruapehu. 'Up market' accommodation is very limited but if you can get into the Tongariro Lodge, it is excellent. Worth the extra cost. The locals are helpful and the town has a nice relaxed non-touristy feel; however avoid leaving your car parked overnight on a street. Shopping, apart from Groceries is limited.

Turangi is a lovely little town.
Turangi is a lovely little town. Not much going on in the actual town itself but has everything you need in terms of supermarkets etc. and easy access to the Tongariro Crossing and lots of other beautiful walks nearby. Recommend the Tongariro River Walk and Lake Rotopounamu walk too. Lovely swimming spots! I stayed for 4 nights in the end which was great. Recommend staying here! And also use Panda Shuttles to get to the Tongariro crossing or anywhere in the local area. Stay at Riverstone Lodge if you can!
beautiful B&B run by a gracious and charming couple. the house is comfortable, well appointed with lovely guest rooms. on-suite bathroom with lots of shelf space for toiletries. very comfortable bed! wine and hors d’oeuvres served in the living room late afternoon gave us a chance to chat and meet other guests. breakfast was delicious including a parfait to die for! The location was perfect for getting to Turangi sights and activities. We highly recommend this outstanding property.
Delightful bed and breakfast. The hosts, Tim and Mary, were engaging and friendly.
Breakfast choices were varied and the homemade pizza menu was a welcome touch after a long drive when we arrived.
I wished that we could have stayed longer and I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone wanting to explore the Lake Taupō area. The one thing we learned on our drive up and down both islands is to base yourself somewhere for a few days and travel out each day - this is ideal for that!
The spacious unit was lovely and clean.Everything you need in the kitchen and the oven elements and microwave worked well.Water pressure was very good.The TV was a good size with limited channels.The motel is a few minutes from Turangi
township.The little table and chairs on balcony were nice to sit in the sun to read or have a meal.There is a brunch bar and stools.The pillows were comfortable.

Absolutely love staying at Creel lodge, it’s in a very quiet area, lovely garden surroundings, with lots of bird life to listen to. Excellent room facilities, netflix is an added bonus, great shower pressure. Friendly and welcoming hosts, very clean rooms, thanks to the lovely staff who do an excellent job. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else when in Turangi.🤩
Tony is thehost with the most he is welcoming even though we arrived at midnight warm homley just like old school values not found in a lot of hotels motels etc he has a wealth of understanding an knowledge wow i really felt welcome Tony an We are going to stay again definently
Great value for money. Nice thermal pools. Special trailer boat parking space. Loads of room to practice fly fishing. Comfy beds. Location is handy to Turangi and only about 40 minutes from Taupo. Great to see progressive reinvestment in the premises. We'll be back again.
The owner is an absolute sweetheart always trying to help and connect everybody.
The most social and friendly hostel I've been to so far here in New Zealand. I liked it a lot because it's small with not too many people (but enough to meet others).
I'd always come back!
The location is a bit remote, but it provides a great relaxing and tranquil atmosphere.
The views from the cabin were fantastic - amazing vista of the lake Taupo from the top of the hill!
The room was spacious and comfortable.
Everything was fantastic. And the room arrangements and cleanliness were superb. Location - Awesome! 40 min to Taupo and 40 min to Mt. Ruapehu. Spa in hotel! What else do you need! We will come back . . for sure!!! :)
Great motel in Turangi, close to the river for morning walks. Good facilities, has everything you need. This is a quiet motel and we have stayed here four times now and we are never disappointed. We will come back.
The hosts were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast served was delicious and a great value. Location was great as Turangi is a good base to explore the Central North Island area (Lake Taupo, National Park etc).
Great little lodge for people who are in to fishing and being away from the crowds. Would be perfect for a weekend with friends. Loved the individual cabins with central restaurant/bar and reading/meeting area.
The location is superb. The hot pools came in handy after a cold day in the ice and more importantly the children playground and the animal zoo were really a plus for a family friendly hotel.
We were only booked for one night and as we were visiting for a family funeral we hardly spent anytime at the Motel except to sleep. Unfortunately we didn't have time to eat at the restaurant.
Lovely stay at Taylors Lodge with a very interesting history in Turangi! Heaps of space and nice and cozy for summer and winter stays. The hosts were lovely and will hopefully stay again!
The most fantastic apartment one could hope for, literally one of the best if not the best of our 14 weeks travelling around Australia and NZ and using numerous motels and hotels.
