It's a great spot. If it had a restaurant it would be hard to beat. I'll stay again.

Stayed with partner

Comfy bed, clean linen, nice extras, safe parking. However, was not happy staff at The Cove did not communicate in advance, that the restaurant was closed for renovations, so had to go out for evening meal & breakfast. Hard to wash our plates, cups etc when no plug in handbasin. Surprised no fan in the bathroom.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Cove. The unit was clean, modern and in a good location by the lake. Nice and warm on the chilly Taupo night.

*The Cove Taupo — 5/5* Stayed here recently and it was exactly what we needed for a getaway. *The room: Clean, a little outdated but comfortable no view as the room was on the opposite side, Lake Taupo is the real deal. Big windows, comfy bed, and everything worked exactly as it should. *Location*: Perfect spot if you want quiet but still close to town. 5 min drive to the lakefront and cafes. Easy parking right outside which made unloading a breeze. *Staff & service*: Super friendly and low fuss. Check-in was quick and they gave solid local tips for food and walks without being pushy. *The little things*: Fast wifi, decent coffee setup in the room, and there is an outdoor area that was great for a sunset drink. Place felt well maintained, not tired like some lake motels. Only heads up: it’s popular, so book ahead if you want a lake-facing room in summer. Overall, great value, great spot, would stay again. If you’re heading to Taupo and want somewhere relaxed with a view, this is it.

The room was nice and cosy with a comfortable bed and everything you could need. The look of the hotel was very nice inside and out and was a lovely quiet stay. The other great thing we found ho easy it was to walk down the corridor of the motel to the Cove Cafe which was very nice also.
