We booked for 4 nights, the service was off hand and the room was not serviced the whole time we were there. For 4 days, the toilet and bath were not cleaned and the room was not vacuumed. However the bed was made and the kitchen was wiped daily. Note: The motel was clean on arrival, the owners were away... More

My husband and our 2 children stayed at Baycrest over the Easter holiday. It's our first time there and I have to say I was really impressed with the rooms. I'm a very fussy person and I've always found it hard to find a motel that has nearly everything perfect. This place was right up there and we did enjoy... More

3 of us stayed here for a night while travelling NZ and had a nice time. Rooms are very large and clean and the added bonus of the hot tube is great although be careful as the water is very hot. It isn't really walking distance to town but the bonus of this is that it is quite. Nice larger... More

The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with comfortable beds and good lighting. our bathroom had a spa bath as well as a separate shower. The furnishings were a cut above the usual basic style which made the... More

We stayed three nights in a Lake View room and did not want to leave. The owner, Simon greeted us on arrival and was so friendly and personable. After getting ourselves checked in we stood in awe of how beautiful the view was down to the lake. Granted there is another motel between Baycrest and the Lake, it was perfectly... More

This is the first time that we have stayed here whilst in Taupo. We found the room to be very clean and roomy. The staff were friendly and the location was just outside Taupo so was very quiet. The thermal pool was great and a relaxing way to spend the evening after a big day out. We will definitely look... More
