Cottage Mews Motel

We had a spacious room with a jacuzzi bath. The room was spotless with all the facilities which you could need. The lake front is less than a minutes walk away. Check in was convenient with an email for the code to the lock box to get in. Highly recommended.

I chose this property as a quick stopover on my drive to Auckland. I stayed in the larger apartment toward the back which may differ from the other rooms. The property is cute and well maintained on the outside. It's right and I mean RIGHT on the lake which is probably much of it's appeal. The staff was friendly, however their was a smell of pet urine in the lobby which didn't give the greatest first impression. The room itself was spacious and clean where it counts, however, it's dated and lacking upkeep which showed in the wallpaper, blinds, and rusting of light fixtures. At $200 NZD for the night it felt like a property I'd pay $60 USD for back home. I wouldn't say I had a bad experience, but didn't feel like it was a good value.

Lovely spacious room with private courtyard. Large in room spa bath. Well equipped kitchen. Great pressured shower. Good access to lakefront. Lovely stay.

Fabulous stay. The rooms were immensely clean and well-kept. Being located near Lake Taupo, the location is also perfect for a quick stroll or to sunbathe when the weather's good. If you're into kayaking, kayaks are also available for rent. If I had to pick an issue with the accomodation, it would be that it's a little far from the centre and if you're not driving, Ubers can be pretty hard to find in Taupo. That said, the hotel reception is more than happy to assist you with finding a taxi!

What a lovely little motel, We spent 2 nights here in a garden room. It was well appointed and had everything we needed. I particularly liked the little private courtyard off our room. Whilst this motel doesn't have a lake view, it does have a walkway to the lake which has a lovely public walking/cycle path along the lake. The motel is little way from the main town however that wasn't a problem and there was a shopping centre with a Woolworths supermarket not too far away. after travelling around for a week it was nice to be able to wash our clothes (for free) in the laundry onsite. The clothes drier was only $2.00 per cycle. Our room had a spa bath in room separate from bathroom and a kitchenette which had plenty of items for cooking a meal or making coffee etc. The beds were comfy as well.

Stayed here a few times its so nice. Well priced, everything you need, great location. Thank you for being pet friendly.

a little out of the way but everything else is really great. rooms were spacious, clean and very pretty. motel also offers many free facilities like kayaks and barbecues, which complements the quaintness of the atmosphere very well!

We stayed here overnight to break up our trip home from Auckland with our dogs. Great location, rooms are very clean and have everything you need. Lake is a very short walk down a path (1 min) and only 5 mins walk to the dog friendly Two Mile Bay Sailing Club for Dinner. Will definitely be coming back to stay a bit longer, we loved it!
