Lake Taupo is well serviced by Motels and self contained units. You will find most of these are of a good standard, most have a rating by QualMark, so it pays to check the rating first, and a word of warning, check when last inspected, and make sure the rating is up to date.
The motels are scattered about the Taupo township, with some right on the lake front with great views of Lake Taupo and Mount Ruapehu, there is one draw back with some of these Motels is that they are located on the main road, and some guests have found it annoying to be woken by large trucks rumbling past their window at night time. There is however some relief in sight with the opening of a by-pass which will take the heavy traffic away from the lake front, this is scheduled to take place some time late 2010.
Most Motels now have wireless or broadband internet, some provide free access while others charge, just remember to add in any fees to the room charge.
So here is a list of some of the selection of motels you can also find last minute information on http://www.laketaupoaccommodation.com/
