Charlotte
Everything was perfect for our winter R ‘n’ R holiday at Boulevard Waters. We have shared so many favourite features of this lovely motel over the past 23 years of regular visits, but the main highlights this July were the warmth of our unit (fantastic underfloor heating), the cleanliness and perfect temperature of the mineral pool and the friendliness and helpfulness of the managers (who made us feel so welcome and valued). As always, the spacious living area, comfy bed and stunning views from the balcony were standout features too. Boulevard Waters is only a quick drive from town and an easy walk along the lakefront on a good day. We had stunning weather, which was a real bonus!
Antony
Was good
Jitendra
Property was all good, but when initially I bought the room for 2 days and entered everything on Expedia for 2 adults and 2 kids, and it was showing me sleep for 4 at that price (680nz), and that was the reason for me paying it, and everything thing was fine until, 2 days before the email from Expedia showing that we just paid for 2 people, and that was a big problem when we reach their and we were told to pay extra for 2 more people. Expedia needs to be clearer on this kind a thing.
Gaylene
Did not use the Laundry. Kitchen had all we needed
Andrea
Make time to enjoy the Private access to the quiet walkway along the lake.
Lisa
Beautiful place to stay right on the lake with stunning views. Really nicely decorated, clean and comfortable rooms with everything you need including a comfy bed and well stocked kitchenette. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great location - easy drive into town, but also a nice walk if you wanted a bit longer walk. Will definitely stay again - thank you!
Ann
Great evening sunset views over the lake. Rooms a little tied but clean
Sarah
The property is now showing it's age. We had to keep asking for room service to be done. Over all...not as good as it used to be a few years ago.
CARL
Great location, our room had a nice patio that had great view of Lake Taupo and was very convenient to nice restaurants. Our room was very clean and had a nice kitchen.
Phillip
Very clean and modern decor. We loved this place.
Fantastic views and right on Lake Taupo
Also had a guest laundry which was a bonus when travelling.

Marie
Lovely property right on the lake. Kitchen and bathroom are a little tired and the kitchen is only for simple cooking on a hot plate or microwave reheating. There is no oven or dishwasher.
Thomas Gary
This property has the most gorgeous views of the lake! It is close to restaurants and walking trails! Easy check-in with the staff who were very nice!
Christina
Lovely staff, room nice and spacious.
Katy
Location was spot on. Very comfortable beds. Towels were replaced every day.

Natasha

Wei-li
Fantastic waterfront rooms and very friendly staff. The spacious living space was quite comfortable. Highly recommend!
Erin
The bathroom had hair in the shower and the carpets had big stains. The accomodation needs an upgrade. Also were were there on a cool spring night and the room was too hot to sleep comfortably in.
Mike
Great location, a bit tired, needs an upgrade
Location is great - right on the lake.
Room is a bit tired, but great for a family - has extra kids bedroom.
Bathroom was fine with excellent shower, let down by tiny washbasin with nowhere to put your toiletries.
Furniture in room was ok, but the bed was uncomfortable - 2 soft single beds pushed together.
Chairs outside were low down and really uncomfortable.
I guess the hotel is aiming at the Asian market - all the furniture and the bed were aimed at smaller people.

Good value for a lakefront property with clean room, balcony, and a kitchenette with Nespresso machine. The spa in the open plan bedroom is a cool feature. Will be happy to come back again.
Prudence
Pleasant stay
Thermal pool was lovely. View from window nice over lake. French Manager very helpful and replaced sliding door lock.
Sugandh
I will rate 0 for the cleanliness of the property. Bedsheets were disgusting, no one cleared the rubbish bins from the bathroom.
No one made beds from the kids bed.
Not happy with the cleanliness.

Lorraine
Overall it was good. A couple of things detracted slightly. One was spots of sauce on the wall beside the dining table when we arrived. Another is lack of bench or cupboard storage space in the bathroom. Also very little towel hanging. We are asked to assist in reducing impact of washing towels by re-using them but nowhere to hang them to dry and no heated towel rails.
Frances
Lovely view & warm .
Nice staff & unit roomy with spa bath & seating area .

Lovely property, friendly staff, would recommend
Mark
Room with a view
Spacious, comfortable unit, though sofa and carpet looked a bit tired. Nice to have a comfy seat for watching tv or looking at the view. Staff pleasant and helpful. Good sized thermal pool for soaking (not swimming). Lakefront location is terrific and patio area is a nice place to sit and look across lake. Cafe close by for coffees too.
PJ
Perfect spot for our stay. Beautiful location with friendly front of house.
Lynette
Beautiful view and access to Lake. Perfect spot right by the water.
Liu
very near to lake have great stay
Katy
We loved the location, just perfect, but the cleanliness of the place was very poor. Stained linen, dirty floors and dirty toilet. I would stay again, but only if the apartment was cleaned properly.
Gloria
I loved the location and facilities
Byron
Amazing view
Patricia
Wonderful views right on the shore of the lake sunset across the water was magical.
Difficult to find the entrance from main road could have better signage.
Enjoyed the thermal pool.
Could not fault the facilities in the unit.

This was one of our favorite stops. We loved our room looking out over the lake and appreciated the jacuzzi tub after doing the Tongariro Crossing hike. The room was clean and was a short drive to shopping and restaurants.

Great location, friendly staff, good amenities and now there’s even a brunch cafe next door.
Lisa-Jane
Absolutely gorgeous. Right on the lake.
Rahera
Nice property about 5 mins from Taupō township. Large ground floor apartment with excellent lake views and access to common area hot pool. Tons of people go by the apartment to exercise, walk the lake side with kids, swans feeding in lake too - was a vibe, apartment still felt safe and quiet. Spa bath in room was cool too. Handy to have use of site washing machine and dryer available to use. Would stay there again.

Fiona
The Hotel had an amazing view of the lake, which is why we picked it. The Hotel manager was attentive to our needs (no hot water, and sewage smells in the room) and quickly addressed them.
The room is looking as if it needs a bit of updating painting done. The linen on the bed had stains both on the duvet and the white bedspread, not very attractive. Also the smell of the carpet fragrance (possibly to counteract the sewage smell) was overpowering for anyone with sensitivities to smell.

Brad
Awesome view

Clean and tidy, spacious, with unbeatable scenery, right next to the hot beach
Joy
Excellent property, however it was a bit noisy at night with the very high winds whistling through the outside levels. Unit was well appointed, clean and the spa bath was bliss!! Mixup with deposit made to book so was not very happy that it had not been processed before we got to the hotel. The Manager was very helpful in sorting this. Would definitely stay here again.
Patrick

Keith
Wonderful location with views over the lake to the mountains. Loved the geothermal pool. Very spaciousness and comfortable studio unit.
BRIDGET
Gorgeous room, amazing view and very friendly service. Bath-plug was broken but hastily replaced when asked. Misunderstanding how far from the town centre was the only issue.

Jacquie
Great position/location in Taupo. Beautiful lake views. Everything in apartment we needed.
Dale
Nice location on the lake…
Nice and quiet spot well off the main road. Lovely lake and mountain view and right on the walkway/cycleway. Parking is a bit ‘tight’ for average size car.
Joanne
Fantastic accommodation
Excellent stay here for six nights. Great location , walking distance to town but out of the busyness. The manager was so helpful on all fronts. The room is really well set up for families as the kids can go to bed and the adults have the main area. The hot pool was a novelty. We really want to return, this place was the highlight of our NZ trip so far!
Todd
Boulevard Waters Motel Was a great property. The host was fantastic. Perfect location on the water. An absolutely perfect view of Lake Taupo. It would be our place to stay when we visit New Zealand again.

The lakefront location was nice. Rooms appeared nice in photos but once we arrived we realized they were old. Carpet could use a clean and so could the couch. There was an old smell in the room.
Kimberley
Loved our stay here, wish it was longer. Beautiful room and so clean. Will definitely be back
Sandra
Super friendly and helpful staff. Very tidy and well set out with a great pool to relax in. Views of the lake were brilliant and with a private courtyard it made it a nice place to sit at the end of the day.
