This Millennium Hotel and Resort is located right on the edge of Lake Taupo. It offers luxury accommodations and facilities that include a heated pool, sauna, gym and tennis court.

    We just wanted the best affordable accommodation as we were passing through to spend the day with family then returned again the next night. Loved having a comfortable and spacious hotel type room to relax in after a long drive.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime. Restaurant and Fast Food place sort of central in about 4 blocks. Huka Falls Jet and Rapid Jet need to consider a shuttle service from downtown Taupo because it is dare for a Uber ride and even darer for a Taxi. My favourite place to eat was Portofino Taupo, their service was exceptional.

    A fabulous place to stay and explore we did a cruise on Lake Taupo I highly recommend on the Ernest Kemp .We visited the Huka falls which was an amazing experience. Taupo is easy to get around walking or driving and there’s lots of great shopping. We ate at a waterfront restaurant “ Lone Star “which have specials at lunchtime ,steak was awesome. We enjoyed “ Lotus Thai” fabulous food , good service staff very friendly a great night . Lake Taupo is a must see experience 😁

    So many really good restaurants and cafes.

    So many really good restaurants and cafes. Mini Golf and Golf at the main courses are always a must for us and we have visited all courses including the beautiful Wairekei Course many times before. Retailers are always very warm and helpful and good walking paths around the lake. Scenery also really good, especially in the winter months with the snow capped mountains. Locals always say Hi when your'e out walking etc.

    Sailing on the lake is a must do activity but do dress for the occasion. he town has some interesting features and is well worth walking around. Look out for the Superloo and the DC-3 at a well known eatery. Don't miss the wool shop for some great items that are locally made. Search out the Huka Falls and all the volcanic activity above the town. Spend some time exploring the scenery by car or on foot. Learn how to pronounce the name of the town before you leave.

    This was a last-minute find after another booking cancelled due to Cyclone Gabrielle damage, and we were very pleasantly surprised to find it in such prime location right on Lake Taupo, with nice walking path at lake's edge, a nice pool, walking distance to restaurant at Two Mile Bay Sailing Club, short drive to downtown, and a spacious 2-story unit that felt like a nice apartment. Helpful management & staff. Wish we'd had more than one night to stay and enjoy this fabulous find!!

    Perfect location being right in town, close to supermarkets, restaurants and the tourist attractions we visited. Am super impressed with the price, size of the apartment, compared to other hotel/apartments my partner & I were looking at. Will definitely recommend this apartment to family who might be in Taupo for holiday, super spacious. Master bedroom is huge, kitchen/bathroom/lounge/wardrobe (for long stays) is well furnished. Outside patio is lovely.

    The room was a cozy studio - comfy and spacious; filled with everything that you could possibly need - cooking facilites, private bathroom and laundry facilities (washing machine, drying machine) and a large, soft bed. Contactless check-in was super easy and being able to check-in was a bonus as we had to travel here after work. ALSO THE VIEW FROM THE ROOM WAS AMAZING - it overlooks Lake Taupo and I could see Mt Ruapehu from my window!

    I was skeptical at first being in B&B and insisted on Hotel accomodation, but in the end I was wrong. Cosy and quiet place close to the town of Taupo (20 min by car) and very close to the lake itself (10 min walk). Hosts are a sweet couple, very well mannered and focused on being helpful without annoyances. Friendly chat was just accompaning a tremendous breakfast and started our day with a smile. Highly recommended

    The rooms were recently renovated, clean and spacious. The bathroom was large and had great water pressure. Even had heated floors. Kitchen had all you needed to cook if you choose too. It's across the road from the lake and a short walk to eateries and wharf. Overall we loved our stay and would highly recommend to friends and family and would stay here next time we visit beautiful Taupo. 5 stars from us!!!

    This is one of the best motels we have stayed in. It was modern, well maintained with quality fittings. The bed was excellent. The furniture in the spacious lounge was comfortable and the unit was air - conditioned. Right on the lake front in Taupo the unit we had was set back from the road so was quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

    The Chevron Hotel is in a great location within walking distance to the lake and the centre of town. The rooms were large and included a lounge area and kitchenette. After issues with having to add an extra night during our stay in Taupo, Margaret at reception was very accommodating.

    The location was perfect just a walk down the motel path to beautiful lake Taupo. Virtually a lake on your back doorstep . Lake was so clear and clean to swim in. Very quiet and considerate neighbours all around. Bikes and kayaks available to hire.

    The hotel is well positioned in Taupo. The facilities are great and staff very attentive. The resturant catered well for us as a family. Although we didn’t have our dog with us, it was lovely to see others with their pets staying at the hotel.
