Gables Lakefront Motel

Great location, pictures true to reality.

The price compared to other properties was perhaps a bit high. No major issues

Great spa pool, good amenities and lovely little touches like wifes homemade cookies. Backed with everything you need for a good stay - for our family we really should have upgraded to the family suites - but they didnt come with a spa pool in the room so we opted here. It worked fine with the couch for the kids, but if you want space and luxury then upgrade.

No EV charger (which is a big thing for us as we travel) there was one down the road and a fast one, but ive got used to just charging up at night. We only got two sets of towels even though we had four booked into the room but the hotel staff were soo accommodating and got us two easily after we asked no worries. Our second time here and we will be back because we really do like this hotel.

Property is located on the lakefront not far from Taupo town centre - making it easy to explore on foot and enjoy the views, lake and nature surrounding it. We made a last minute booking but the owners were very prompt at checking us in. Lovely family run business with customer service at heart. Room/unit was very clean, comfortable and modern. Would return again in future - thanks Franky and Kavita.

minor nagging point, the charging sockets were not conveniently located to charge devices in the main living room. Otherwise a great stay.

Staff were so pleasant to deal with. The room was tidy and was daily serviced to high expectations. Location is great, straight across from the lake and so close the to city centre. Plus there’s a really good coffee cart across the road.

The shower as the head was a bit broken (where the water sprays out) so was the side slider. The heat pump was hard to use as the roofs were high and only had an on and off setting. Both bearable though

This is such a lovely place to stay. Our cabin was clean, fresh and welcoming. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Homemade biscuits were such a nice touch in our room. We had a view of the lake, and it was walking distance to town where there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here.

We have absolutely nothing to add here.

Excellent accommodation to stay in Lake Taupo, amazing welding, owners so helpful . Fabulous all round. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves staying with you. Great base for travelling around area! Owners work hard and so helpful. Perfect for us with teenage lads and two apartments . Perfect, so lovely to stay.

LOVED THE ROOM !! Loved the back area aswell and love how its located right infront of the lake and close to the city !! Amazing house keeping and lovely owners . Would definitely recommend to family & friends and will definitely book again .

That we couldn’t stay longer !! I loved our stay 😁

The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. Great views of the lake from my room.

The wifi was sparse at best. The shower has a “roof” on it. Made showers a bit uncomfortable as the steam from the hot water wasn’t able to escape the shower cubicle itself.

The place was clean and tidy. close to shops. the dishwasher was a bonus so we didn’t need to manually wash dishes after a tiring day.

didn’t noticed the 2 percent extra charge when using credit/debit card and This was my first time to see this so just a little bit surprised. probably booking.com or gables need to emphasise this on their website? all good though, receptionist explained what it is.

location with a toddler perfect. plenty of lounge space for him to play. Lots of spaces for hide n seek. Loved the welcome cookies made by the owner. The male owner was very accommodating and helpful. Sooo loved the spa pool.

There is just a night light in the bathroom that needs completing with fitting
