Looking out across Lake Taupo at the Central North Island volcanoes, Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Tongariro. The town of Taupo is very nice, with plenty of cheap hostels, around $25-35 per night

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,007 reviews)
At a “5 star” hotel, I don’t expect to get a “king” that is just 2 beds pushed together. The hotel itself might, MIGHT have been a 5 star in its day, but not now. Maybe a 4. We stayed in a Doubletree the night before, that was WAY better, and only a 4 star. Breakfast was just OK. They seemed to run ...

Enough space to park directly outside of the room. We've also stayed at the Hilton next door which has a fab ...

The Oasis Beach Motel is a poor cousin to the Millennium Hotel (which owns it) next door. It has a beautiful lakeside location, but you need a lakeside unit before you get to enjoy that view. Otherwise, you may as well stay in a cheaper motel in one of Taupo's backstreets. The majority of the Oasis ...
