Just by the lake, the scenery is very good, driving to the restaurant concentration area is also 7 or 8 minutes; the two-story small row, very pleasant, there are two single beds upstairs, a large bed downstairs, toilets up and down Bathroom; there is also a small public hot spring pool.

We spent three nights at this very comfortable hotel in Taupo in early June. We were visiting our daughter who lives in the town but didn’t have enough room for us to stay. I was after a hotel with a view of the beautiful lake, but still within walking distance to town as we didn’t have a car. Suncourt Hotel fitted the brief perfectly. We booked a Premier Deluxe Lakeview Studio room. The room that we were allotted was on the top floor. There was no lift, so you needed to climb the outdoor steps with luggage. Our room was very large, with a king size bed, a desk, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. There was also a very large balcony with a stunning view of the lake and a further two chairs and a small table. The reception staff were very helpful not only with our original reservation, but also when we needed to add a night and with any questions that we had. The only downside to me was that their restaurant was not open on the evening that we checked in, which was Sunday, and also not for breakfast on the Monday morning. We did know this in advance though, and as the town was easily walkable it wasn’t a problem. We had two breakfasts in the restaurant, and they were excellent. As we had other dinner plans, we didn’t have dinner in the restaurant, but our daughter and her partner have eaten there and loved it. If you are looking for a very large hotel room with a view, then Suncourt is for you. I believe they have much larger apartment style rooms which would be more suitable for families, although we didn’t get to see any of these.

As a Hilton Honors member, my stay at the hotel met the usual satisfactory quality. Peter at the front desk was excellent in accommodating our needs, and overall, we had a good time. However, I want to caution future guests to adjust their expectations: • The location, while quiet, is farther from the center and lakeside, requiring a car and likely keeping you at the hotel in the evening. • Our room, possibly the least expensive, was extremely small with limited space for sitting or even opening our suitcases. • Staff training or updated information is necessary; the website mentioned a happy hour, but there was none on Friday. Conflicting details about breakfast and check-out times were provided. • While amenities were nice, the steam room and sauna floor were dangerously slippery, leading to a hard fall and injury. Additionally, the pool water was not clean, with numerous hairs inside. • Some equipment, like the coffee machine, was not working.

This is an older property with large rooms, well maintained and very close to town. Stayed overnight on way back to Auckland. Huge room, was originally a timeshare motel now solely motel. Very helpful receptionists. The key to this motel is it's proximity to the town and eateries etc. ie 3 minute walk to town and also across the road from the lake which is nice for a morning walk. Some motels in Taupo are far from town and you need a car. This is not the case with this one. Got a decent rate on Booking. Would stay here again based on the size of the room and it's central location. Enjoyed a nice dip in the Wairakei Terraces hotpools (age 14 years and over), got a decent discount voucher for entry on the grabone site.

The room is large, the location is great, and parking is free. Just outside the hotel is Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest freshwater lake. The hotel facilities are very new, the beds are big, and the Wi-Fi is very good. The hotel is very close to the city.

It’s rare to see a hotel of this size in New Zealand~ It’s a bit like an old five-star~ There is a small outdoor hot spring, but when we went there the temperature was about zero at night and the water temperature was not too hot. It takes courage to start the water~

Location, environment and indoor and outdoor facilities are very good. It is very close to my friend's house, and it will be within 5 minutes of walking. After crossing the road, I went to the lake. On the winter morning, there were many black swans on the lakeside, which was very beautiful.

When I first arrived at the reception, my brother thought it was an abandoned place🤣 It turns out that the room is behind the reception. The room is basically clean, but there are a lot of scratches from the furniture on the walls. It is recommended not to use the instant pot. I boiled a pot just for cleaning, but it had a very strange smell🫠 There are all kinds of dishes, chopsticks, cups, knives and forks, but remember to wash them before using them. After all, you don’t know if they are really clean🤷🏻♂️ Okay, that’s probably it. It’s gone~

Beautiful rooms overlooking the lake. Plenty of space and large balcony to sit and enjoy the view. Location was excellent just far enough out of town to be quiet but close enough to walk in along a walkway. Staff were extremely friendly. Room was clean with lovely quality bedding Dinner in the on site restaurant was really good and with a great view of the lake. Breakfast was fairly basic but sufficient and of a good quality. We would definitely stay again when in this area highly recommended
