Huka Lodge

Lakefront Lodge Taupo
Nice and quiet hotel, conveniently located close to the town center. We paid to upgrade to a lakeview room and it was worth it because the view over the lake is beautiful!

Ika Nui Taupo
Stayed 4 nights with family of 6 adult couples. The unit is advertised as 3 bedrooms. But the third bedroom is only suitable for a single bed. Good amenities and well presented throughout. Good lakefront location and handy to shops and eateries. Will recommend to travelers with large family.
