  "Unanimous Decision t say at the Chalet Suisse"

  What a great place to stay for our team. Rooms are huge and warm and comfortable, clean and tidy with great facilities. So close to town, lake, restaurants and the great lakes venue. Reception, welcome and service -the best we have encountered over years of attending the Golden Gloves North Island Boxing Champs. We will stay there every time we go to Taupo.

  "An excellent place to stay."

  One small block back from the main road makes this a lovely, quiet place to stay, and only 5 minutes walk to town or two minutes to the edge of the Lake. We had four adults (two couples) in a two-storey unit which was ideal. Two bathrooms (including a spa bath upstairs :-) ) Outside deck areas, a pool and spa. We didn't use these but they looked inviting. Reasonably priced and we didn't have to stay for a minimum of two nights like some places demand on along weekend when there's a big concert on. Rooms are currently being renovated. Our hosts were fabulous - made us feel most welcome. The booking process on line was easy. We would return to the Chalet Suisse any time we were wanting accommodation in Taupo. Thanks for your hospitality :)

  "Chalet stay in Taupo"

  Lovely place right acroos the lake, centrally located walking distance to city centre, Restaurants & water activities. A fan in the room would have helped as it was very hot & could not keep windows open due to the road noise. The other problem was the creaking floor boards that kept you up each time someone woke up in the night either in your unit or the neighbouring unit (as they are all connected). The reception staff had little knowledge of the attraction costs / discounts etc (especially the Huka jets) although the brochure in the room said discounts available at reception.

  "Chalet Suisse Motel"

  Our family Mum Dad and two kids aged 4 & 3 had a fantastic stay here, we stayed for 1 night on the way to Wellington and for 2 nights on our return. Chalet Suisse Motel was easy to find and had a fabulous view of the lake. We stayed in a family unit which was great as the kids were upstairs and there was plenty of room. We swam in the pool the kids enjoyed the trampoline and swing set and as Chalet Suisse Motel is situated so centrally we walked to the shops and cafes. We plan to stay here again and I would recommend it to all families.

  "Room is OK but service is NOT"

  The room is clean and the view is great. It is very close to Taupo center (as most of the motels in Taupo are like). But the frontdesk is not very welcoming. The lady in the office did not smile at all. Also we required in the booking to rewarm the room for us, as it is a very cold and rainning day, but when we arrived (we did not arrive early), the room is not prewarmed at all. It is a bit dispointed. Apart from that, everything is fine.
