Stayed a night and loved it. The Motel house was relaxing on the deck and lovely view of the lake. Great set up for 3 adults and a little time away. Not a Lakeside Lux but a lovely comfortable 2 toilet lakeside house for us. We will be back. Thank you for the lovely relaxing stay.

We recently stayed at Oasis Beach Motel in Taupo and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly its exceptional location, directly facing the lake. Waking up in the morning to a stunning view of Lake Taupo and the surrounding mountains through the large glass doors in the bedroom was simply breathtaking. The scenery alone makes this property worth considering, and it is hard to beat the peaceful atmosphere and incredible outlook. The only downside is that the property is showing its age and could benefit from some renovations and modernisation. However, despite being older, the room was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. Considering the budget-friendly price and the unbeatable lakefront location, we have no real complaints and would happily stay here again.

The accommodation might look a bit outdated, but it was so comfortable with a hot swimming pool outside our door and an area to sit outside the room, lounge kitchen were separate to bedroom all cooled by air-conditioner; very very pleasant and relaxing. A short drive to town along the beautiful coast or you could walk, to a tonne of eateries and shops. Great stay

Lovely and clean, location can’t be beaten! We had lakeside view 2 bedroom apartment. Yes, as per someone else’s review little tired in couple places. But so spacious, comfy beds, shower great, and price amazing! Would definitely stay here again, and will tell all my friends. Just wish weather had been better so could sit out on front deck, and have a swim in the pool. My son loved having ducks looking in the ranchslider at us!
