Acacia Lake View Motel is just 300-metres from Taupo Town Centre and a 5 minute Tauhara Golf Course. Taupo Airport is a 10-minute drive away. The staff were exceptional. We accidentally left our iPad there and they were so helpful in getting it shipped to us. We anticipated it would be a few days to get it but they were so quick to get the iPad out we had it arrive at our location before we even got there. Their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. We enjoyed our time at this motel.
