After spending a week in more remote locations, I was dreading the hustle & bustle of a large town. Bella Vista was the low-key retreat I needed, just 2 blocks off the lake & a short walk to cafes & shops. All the amenities I needed (loved the Natural Earth with Active Manuka Honey toiletries!) without paying for frills I didn’t want. Definitely would stay again / longer & recommend to anyone!

The layout of the room was great! Really good to have the double bed in the lounge and the single beds in a separate room, rather than the other way around. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was large.

Could have been more hooks or hanging areas for towels. The hobs were a little dangerous for kids I thought, we had to be very watchful that they didn’t turn the knobs while we weren’t looking! But in saying that, the hobs were handy and we did use them to cook breakfast.

The place was spotless, dated but spotless we were able to park close, the owners kept in contact and allowed a late checkout which wasnt needed in the end, we did buy milk after asking if there was fresh milk (miss communication on my part) there was those little milk pots in the fridge so didnt need the milk, beds were a double or queen? Enough space and again the place was clean and well laid out.

Thus room was tidy, clean, good size, and had all you needed for a nights stay. Room had gd lighting, warm and cosy, rooms are sound proof, value for money and good parking vinicity. Close to everything. Tis our favourite place to book when staying in Taupo!

Didnt like the pillows used in this room as were too soft.

Was good being in a ground floor unit. Good location close to town. As we arrived in Taupo early, we took our luggage to the hotel to drop off before going exploring. When we returned to check in, they had kindly placed our luggage in our room.

The car park is a little tight, and difficult to see cars coming out from neighbouring accommodation.

The room was immaculate; everything was perfect. The motel was also within good walking distance of the town centre but quiet. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was warm given the time of year. I had the heatpump on in the evening but not overnight and the room was warm in the morning despite a -2 degree frost.

Not much to dislike. The bed was a little firm for my liking which impacted on my sleep. Otherwise I cannot fault the place.

The beds were so comfortable. The manager was fantastic. We couldn't work out our tv and wanted to watch the Bledisloe Cup. We called reception around 9.30pm and he came up straight away and helped us out. All with a smile. That is really going above and beyond. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing.

It's a good distance, close enough to the town and lakefront. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, well equipped, and a good size for a single or couple.

The bed was a bit too solid and a little too short. Fridge was a little noisy at times when trying to sleep.

I liked the recycling idea, also the room was clean big bathroom, close to the shops overall a nice hotel

It was just a nice hotel.. the price could be lower. I prefered the shower not to be attached to the wall it is not so efficiency

It was well prepared for our time all be it short. the room was very warm on arrival as it was late, after 9pm the reception provided us good support and was really helpful. I would visit again for longer as I never knew this motel existed in Taupo
