The Alpine Lake Motor Lodge provided exceptional value. The owner provided exceptional customer service and could not help us enough. The moment I walked into the room I was taken back by the quality modern layout of the amenities from the full size kitchen, spacious bathroom with a separate spa bath, to the expansive living area with numerous quality appointments. We could not have asked for any better and provided exceptional value for money. The location was ideal walking distance to the local shops and restaurants. Highly recommended quality accommodation if you stay in Taupo 10 out of 10.
