Guest Book
I was tired while driving from Auckland to Napier, and decided just to find somewhere in Taupo to stay for the night. Wandering on the main road alongside the lake, I saw Cascades Lakeside Motor Lodge and decided to stop there.
From the moment I walked in, it had that homey feeling. The people that run the place are friendly and accommodating, and you just feel at ease right away.
My room was located just a few doors up from the lake (room number 4), with a view from my terrace. The room was English mews style. There was a queen size bed, ensuite with spa bath, cupboard which opened out into a little kitchenette, small table with chair, and doors opening out onto a gorgous little terrace with outdoor furniture. Upstairs there is a small mezzanine floor with single bed and small bathroom presumably to put up a child (or extra adult).
Breakfast was option, a newspaper was dropped outside my door early in the morning, and breakfast was on time and as expected.
I would reccommend it - pretty good value in terms of price for being right on the lake, and close to everything, and dealing with such nice friendly people.
