Value
Sails On The Lake (Sails Lake Taupo) is just across the road from the main beach on Lake Taupo and most of our rooms have spectacular views of the lake and the mountains beyond. We are just a short drive or stroll to the town centre and very close to all Taupo attractions.

About 20 mins walk to the centre but very easy. Good sized rooms on the lake. Helpful people. Printers my tour vouchers for me without an issue. Nice walk along the lakeside in either direction. Would recommend.

The room is spacious, impeccably clean and very comfortable, with a charming little patio overlooking the lake and it’s beautiful sunsets. We were in room number 2, right off the entrance, super convenient to the lake and the office. A perfect location for a stay in Lake Taupo!

We really enjoyed our short stay at Sails. The accommodation is very comfortable, impeccably clean, lovely shower and great bed and pillows. Friendly and helpful staff. We really appreciated the supply of ice cubes too! Lovely view across to the lake. Very quiet position for sleep too! Highly recommended!

Thank you for the comments. Gin doesn't taste too good when it's warm so Ice cubes are essential. Arthur

Great location, well designed studio/appartement, slightly tired but spotlessly clean. We booked through hotels.com and got a 1st floor room overlooking the lake, awesome sunsets. Very helpful and friendly manager.

We opted for a room with a balcony & spa in the en-suite bathroom. The lake views from the balcony was fantastic. Being summer , we saw people swimming in the lake while others were strolling on the banks . The sunset views were stunning - best enjoyed with a bottle of wine !!

We opted for a room with a lake view and a spa in the en-suite . The lake views were great from the balcony . The sunset views even better !! It’s also conveniently located on the Main Street and the cafes are just a short drive away .

Lovely apartments with a beautiful view of the lake. Great to have a spa bath and a shower which were both really powerful. Fully equipped kitchen with 2 job tops and a 15 minute walk from most restaurants and bars.
