Charlie
this is an awesome venue - we had a room with an awesome view that was at the back of the property so there was no road noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable.
The only suggestion would be that the liquid soap in the shower was more liquid than soap.

We had a great stay! The room was clean, tidy, and exactly as pictured. It was lovely arriving to a warm, cosy room, which made us feel comfortable straight away.
The staff were all friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the amenities were excellent. The kitchenette was especially useful, particularly when travelling with young children.
We were a family of four with two children under five, and this accommodation was a fantastic choice. It was comfortable, family-friendly, and only a pleasant walk into town. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to other families.

Peter
Clean apartment just a bit dated and in need of a refurbishment
Pik
Nice one bedroom apartment. Like the living room and free laundry facility; however, the dryer was not working well, it took more than an hour still couldn't dry a medium size load. It only has one washer and one dryer.The property is just across from the lake, but not too many restaurants around the area.
Lily
Clean apartment. Kind staff. Excellent amenities with a view to die for. Loved every moment, will definitely be returning
Megan
Great room and amenities, really good location!

Needed to do some washing here as we had been travelling for over a week. Unfortunately the washing machine was out of action but the house manager allowed us to us the hotels washing machine so helpful and accommodating would recommend this hotel/ motel. Would definitely stay here again
Megan

Staff were great - super accomodating and friendly. Rooms were great

Motel near the lake. The lake is just across street. Room is ok, a little old, nothing fancy, but you get everything you need. 20 min walk to the town center, you get free parking inside the hotel.
Ken
Room was clean and well appointed. Very convenient parking right in front of the room. Only negative was terrible wifi. It was ok in the bedroom but so weak in the living room (where we spent most time) it kept dropping out. I would suggest adding a booster in the living room.

Room was clean, across from the lake, and easy to park at. Staff helped with several dinner suggestions as well with some extra items we forgot to bring. WiFi was spotty but good enough for email.

The room was pretty standard, nothing special and nothing bad about it.
Nice view of the lake out the front.
I left something of value behind when I left, it clearly had my name on it. I come back later that evening to see if it was there, and it was and returned it to me. I was disappointed that they actually didn't contact me, considering, I was the last one to use that room, and my name was clearly on it. My bad for forgetting it, but in this day and age of customer service, it should be normal to contact clients if things are left behind.

Beautiful view
We had a beautiful unit with lake views, the bathroom and kitchen area were great. The bed was very comfortable, but the sofa bed was terrible. Not at all comfortable to sit on and dreadful to sleep on. That was the only negative of this place and could be easily remedied by a new sofa.
toby
Lovely spacious and a shower to return for
Layla
Enjoyed our stay here!
Jason
Brilliant little place to stay. Clean, comfortable, when we checked in they'd already put the heat pump on for us (it was quite cold) which was a nice touch. They offered milk for coffee as well. Its the little things that make a difference here. Location - right on the lake, and a 10min walk to the centre of everything. It was quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. My only minor criticism - old school Sky TV... I took a chromecast with me to cast what we wanted to watch but it wouldn't work. There were no smart options on the TV, so we were left with old school Sky TV which was... interesting. But this was very minor, and everything that really matters was was 10/10.
Fiona
The staff were friendly and the property was clean and tidy. It was quiet despite being on the main road, and very walkable to food and drink options.
Stefan
Very nice place to stay. Comfortable and clean. Great value for money.
Shivneet
It was a pleasure staying at sails on the lake, we enjoyed everything about the place. Clean and tidy, service was great and the lakefront views are amazing. We will definitely be back.
Olaf
For the price paid it was pretty outdated paint work was tired and complex it self looked tired too.
I stayed in room 13 the bath was quickly filled which was great however a good scrub of the bath tub couldn't hurt.
By check in no toilet paper in the room which can happen I would say.
The couch was a foldable bed which we didn't need however it was not that great to sit on due to the framing underneath.
I am pretty sure that I could here sparking of a electric plug or light I only heard it ones but couldn't smell anything.
All in all I won't be staying there any more.
I booked the room on based on reviews however I don't believe that the reviews are correct which where entered.
P.s. it is walkable when your fit and don't have kids with you.

Awesome hosts
Sonya and Simon are wonderful hosts - they really made our stay an awesome experience. Thanks guys. The property itself is in a great location and the property was nice enough. But the standout really was the down to earth nature and hospitality of the managers - which made travelling with kids, to a family funeral, in winter, that much more bearable. Thanks guys.

I really enjoyed my stay. The owner was so kind and gave many excellent suggestions of places to eat and other places to visit - some of which I didn’t find on the regular websites, but which were well worth it. The location was lovely, just across the lake. I loved it!

Perfect beachside spot
The staff at Sails on the Lake were top notch, everyone was so nice and helpful! We loved the location as it was right across from the public beach and super close to downtown shops and restaurants! We also loved the kitchen setups in the rooms to make a quick breakfast or dinner before our busy days! Would 100% recommend this resort to anyone traveling in the area!

Patricia
Great location across the road from the lake. Very helpful friendly owner. Compact but got everything you need
Gayathri
The rooms were spacious, with great amenities and a fantastic view. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy walking access to restaurants and stores. However, the air conditioning is located in the living room and struggles to cool one of the bedrooms, even with the door open. Additionally, one staff member was rude during checkout, which was disappointing.
Isino
This beachfront property had all the required amenities and was conveniently located right opposite the beach. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, and plenty of parking was available.

Loved our stay at the sails on the lake! Room was very clean, it was warm, had everything we needed, awesome service from the lovely guy in reception, the view of the lake was beautiful to wake up to and a bonus that it is 10min walk to town. No complaints! 10/10! Would recommend 100 percent!

Nice quick visit in Taupo
Quick and easy check in, convenient off street parking, clean and comfortable room with view of the lake across the road. Had everything we needed for a nice night during our couple of days in Taupo.

Andrea
Well-equipped and very clean
Wonderful place, good location for lake with plenty of parking, a bit of a walk to the town centre but perfect with a car.
Friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to make my stay comfortable. The cleanest place I’ve stayed in a while, and one of few who still offer daily service. Everything I needed was in the room.
I’d recommend it and would love to go back.
