Raj
Easy access to all amenities and close to the water. Value for money as well. Kitchen is well equipped and it was a pleasant stay.
Nirmal Lloyd
What we expected so 5 star for that. Property is a bit old but they have done some refurbishment so it is all good. Kids loved the 2 level setup. Kids have their own space upstairs. 2 bathrooms with attached toilets. We loved it for what we required. The living unit came with a parking space which was really convenient.
Angela
I love the room, it’s clean and spacious. There are seats outside of the room for us to have tea and a lil chat. The staff is very friendly and explains everything very clearly.
Christie
We always enjoy staying at Cascades - right on the Lake and we can holiday with our dogs, which means we aren't worrying about them while we are away. They love it too!
Always a friendly welcome and comfortable.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Susan
Only a one night stay but suited our needs. The owners were super helpful
Barbara
We were just okay with it. Certainly needs some maintenance done more often. Very jaded. Lovely to have our room serviced. Clean towels etc.Was not expecting that.
Location quite good. No lake view which was disappointing. Price was realistic.

Ruth
I was first given to a room that was dark and damp with a view of the road. I asked to be moved a room with some sort of view other than the road since ad said mountain view the person at reception was not happy about this and argued that that was the room i booked and what did i expect being a studio. she finally gave another room, which i appreciated as it was more light and you could see the lake a little. the room was dirty, there was hair on the floor, bathrooms had mold around the taps etc. there was a dirty washcloth just refolded and popped back on sink. i did not have a chance to view the pool so cannot comment on gthat. i would not stay here again.
Gavin
Quick one night stay while passing through Taupo, great amenities, staff were really friendly. Loved our stay and will definitely return for a getaway.
Natalie
Beautiful location just steps away from the lakefront. The room was a bit dated but very clean; the bed was comfortable and the heat pump worked really well. Friendly staff and great to allow our dog to stay with us.
Max
Good value
Pauline
Staff were great, helpful. We loved the proximity to the lake and enjoyed a walk and cycle along the lake front and to Huka Falls.
The rooms are in need of some up dating.

Great location on the lakefront, ideal for my daughter to have her own space upstairs and short walk to the lakefront cafe. Would stay again
Z
Would love to stay there. Great accommodation and very quiet.
zhiyi
Great location and staff. Happy about almost everything except I can smell some odor from either the carpet or the bedding. The smell of it like some heavy hikers socks
Liesl
The property was clean and beautiful. The front desk staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating.
The only thing we missed was a lake view. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Loved the spa pool

Yen Li
Staff very helpful, room clean and beds were comfortable. It was great to have access to the heated pool, hot tub and kayak rental. The kitchen we had only had smaller pots which made it difficult to cook for 3 but we managed by using two smaller pots at the same time. Hot water temp and the in room bath was great.
Peter
Nice place to stay.
Michael
Pet friendly, very close to Lakefront walkway. Large comfortable accommodation. Everything you need for a great stay or holiday.
Heather
Great location very close to lake front. Upgraded room staff lovely. We want to go back soon. From Heather
Naoki
Place are old but it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay.
Rob
Room was very roomy and clean. Bed was very comfy. Our only bug was the tv wasnt easy to get working. We phoned reception and the lady was quick to come down.
Although it was a bit out of town we were close to a great pizza bar. Would definitely stay here again.

Noelle
Tricky to resolve but noise from upstairs room, was very loud and kept us up. Not the upstairs
Lynn
Rooms great , staff helpful and nice walking to beach
Robert
Great location on the lakefront with a nice pebbly / sandy beach just a few steps from our patio door.
June
Very clean. Very welcoming.
We were the ground level with people overhead.
We heard a bit of noise from above.
But couldn't fault anything else.

Room and facilities (kitchen and bathroom) we're dated.
Cheryl
Room was clean and had a nice courtyard patio. There is a walkway toward the lakefront where there is a trail for miles. The hotel management is super responsive and helpful. We stayed just one night and didn’t use the pool or hot tub
Izaac
Lovely place at Lake Taupo! Was told it was a Mountain View but couldn’t see much of this from our windows! Although lovely spacious room with comfy bed and good shower and facilities for breakfast :)
Karlene
Good area and right on the lake front.
Carl
Room was great but mostly the location to run and swim .. loved it
Karl
Clean room, friendly front desk, close to the lake where we took a 5 mile walk into town and back.
Peter
Great staff very accommodating.
Kathryn
Lots of little bugs in the room but a nice location close to the lake
Alex
Much of what you see of outside property photos in the listing is misleading, only a few rooms will have a view of the lake.
The building is also dated and showing its age. Could very distinctly hear the people in the upstairs room talking and walking around.
Air conditioning in living room smelled like old sweat making it unusable (room 15). No fan in the bathroom. Room is in public view of the staircase and pool areas so all curtains needed to be shut including in the bathroom at all times for privacy.

Gareth
Great property. Good for travel with a dog. Friendly and helpful staff.
Jo-anne
Great position. Fabulous spacious room and lovely staff. Always welcoming of us and our small dog.
Laurel
This isnt a four star place, it is a good three star place with a nice location at the lake. Not four star.
Patricia
Room was clean and tidy
MINYING
staff is very friendly.
Gaylene
Property was clean and comfy. Ecellent for overnight stay on trip to Wellington. Close to boardwalk to stretch legs after long drive
S
Clean room, friendly staff, access to Lake.
Chloe
The room looked dated. The bed had a fluffy blanket and decoration pillows which seemed to me like they wouldn’t get washed after every stay. Better location having the lake and the yacht club in walking distance.
Joy
Location is good for activities in Lake Taupo and nearby shopping/coffee/bakery. Carpet,bedding and towels could use a little refresh but overall a nice stay.
Nicki
Not so good. Staff was slow to attend the office. The room wasn't the one I'd reserved and had no view of the lake. The two outdoor pools were only tepid. Room decor needs replacements and the main light was falling to bits and dangling by it's electrical cord!
Andrew
As a vip no upgrade offered. Place could do with a clean up. Was very war. And air con sounded if it needed a clean. Bed comfy
Jo
Friendly staff and rooms/bathroom very clean
Barrie
Place is tired - needs an upgrade
PETER

Julie

Mark

B E
Nice overnighter
It was a spacious unit with a wee kitchenette and also spa bath, deck with a partial view of lake. Enjoyed it!
Michelle
This was a repeat stay. We enjoy the location and the host is so friendly
Zane
Staff was great and love the fact that it’s pet friendly. Not easy to find in NZ. Unsure why there was a $20 surcharge for having a pet at the check in that wasn’t mentioned in Expedia when booking though. Might need to look at that.
Vicki
Location was great for us & the cleaning staff were very friendly
Pofen
Great location with easy access to the lake. The owner is very helpful and friendly!
Leen
Great location and brilliant views, very good rooms and some effort has gone in to upgrading the interrior. New beds and linen and lovely walk way around the lake.
Lisa
Great communication with Owners, checked in late and were informed with a phone call with instructions. Friendly and great customer service 😊
Diana
Great property and spectacular views! Manager is very friendly and helpful!
Charlotte
Owner was nice and room was comfortable and in a good location
Kevin
Excellent service. I had no trouble making a last minute booking with a late arrival.
David
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was beautiful and spacious, well furnished, clean, and comfortable. And with the lake just a few steps away, it was perfect. You won't go wrong booking to stay here.
Marsha
Enjoyed our stay. Nice walk to the lakefront beach and a walk around the lake. Good restaurants close by. Loved it in Taupo
Catherine
A great place to stay. We had a ground level large studio unit. Very friendly staff. Fabulous location. Highly recommend it.
Kaye
Great because we could take out mini schnauzer. Has all the amenities needed. Washing machine use was a little pricey at $7 then $2 for dryer. Otherwise location perfect as it is a good distance from the busyness of town/tourists and access to lake and pathway perfect.
Dylan
Great friendly management always welcoming and helpfull.
Judith
Superb
A very spacious room with everything we needed. You can walk a minute to the lakeside with stunning views. Very good facilities with a heated pool just outside the door. The welcoming email gave a lot of useful information on the area. I would stay here again and highly recommend.

Mixed reviews for this place but would not stay here again
The good:
The place itself was large and spaced perfectly for a small family ( 2 adults 2kids). Love the idea of having the upstairs for the kids with two single beds. Hot water, cold AC, microwave, fridge, heated pool ( we did not use) and 2 min walk to the beach/lake and close to a bar/restaurant. Plenty of tea, hot chocolate and coffee.
The Bad: in desperate need of a cleaning. I can forgive the bugs: which were plenty. What I can’t forgive is the dirty bedding full of hair, stains and what I’m assuming buggers. The walls are so dirty and paint chipping, the floors - carpet dirty. The side tables covered in dust.

Great location, bit of maintenance needed
So great to find a spot right by the lake that allows pets for us to holiday with our furry one.
Few things that need attention... when we sued the spa bath, dirt and bugs came out of the jets when we turned them on, not ideal. The light was not fitted well in the bathroom with a large gap allowing steam to enter to exposed wiring, bit of a safety risk.
It would have been good to have access to a vacuum or have the room vacuumed during the daily cleans due to the tiny atones that track in from the lake.

Fiona
Lovely place to stay
Cathy
Very nice owner. Accomodations were clean but noisy around the pool. The owner moved my room no problem.
Phillip
Right on the lake edge and we walked to restaurant along the lake shore which was over the lake.
Andrew
Excellent motel
My wife and I along with our 5 year old grandson stayed there for two nights. Excellent location with direct access from the room to the lake path. We had a water leak in the bathroom on our second day, which the owner sorted out quickly. The owner gave our grandson a goodie bag and gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. Some parts of the property are in need of renovation, but the new owners are busily working through the renovations.
Great location and friendly owners and staff.

Nice place to stay
Vanessa
Good stay for price. Hot tube was unfortunately not very warm so did not use. Shower was dark as limited lighting in shower itself but otherwise good. Comfy bed and kitchen was of good use

The property isn't the most modern in the area but everything else about it is excellent. Great value for money, excellent area and a friendly boat club/bar/pizzeria just down the road. Why pay double the price. Room was clean, good facilities and a small pool and spa at the rear.

Cascades is pet friendly ( dogs allowed inside). It is right on the waterfront of lake taupo, the staff are super super helpful and friendly. The units are huge ( not brand new) but very clean and very functional and very pleasant. Highly recommend this place. Go there it's worth it.

Liked our stay here, great little path from the room down to the lake for a walk with our doggy, the room was laid out good, had everything we needed for a nice cup coffee and good nights sleep.
The bathroom was a little dated and could do with an in depth clean in some areas other than that we enjoyed our stay here the hosts were lovely and very accommodating.
