Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Wonderful place at Lake Taupo with a great host.
Tony was so friendly and helpful. He even cooked me a dinner when I arrived.
Tony’s Lodge is very close to the lakefront.
Great location, close to Turangi shops and not far from Taupo city centre.. enjoyed our stay, Tony is friendly, funny, and a great down to earth host.. definitely a place to recommend 👌
Its a basic Bed and Breakfast place. Tony is a great host and provides a good value for money breakfast. Rooms are small but the bed was comfortable and fine for a solo traveller.
Great location in a beautiful lake view . The room was very comfortable and very quiet. The host at the reception office was very friendly and helpful.
We have no hesitation to stay there again.
A great hostel - clean, well-equipped and cheap. We had an en suite double room - very comfortable and clean. Perfect base for our hike on the Tongariro Alpine crossing. Seemed like the majority of guests were more mature, like us, but one young lad also said it was the best hostel he had stayed in.
Private no hosts or any other people to deal with. It was quiet and homely if we had stayed longer it would be a great location for a family or someone wanting to explore the area. We only needed a bed for the night.
Our hosts were exceptional and took a real interest in us. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Heating was very good, it was -5 degrees and you wouldn't have known it! We enjoyed having a kitchen. Great location and quiet room.
