About this property

We are situated on Lake Terrace, with the stunning Lake Taupo right in front of the motel. It’s just a couple of minutes’ drive from the town center, where you will find Taupo's finest shops, restaurants, and exciting attractions. Lakeside Taupo Motel operates as an e-motel (self-check-in), providing quick and convenient access to your room without the need to wait in reception, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your stay. Before your arrival, please contact us or we will contact you for additional information. As booking.com does not share these details with us, we require an email address to send the check-in instructions to and credit or debit card details as security for your booking. A $200 security bond may also be required. On the day of check-in, if we have all the necessary details, we will send you an email with your check-in details and other necessary information.
