Amazing spot right on the lake!
We stayed for 2 nights and had a fantastic time. The couple that runs this place has the most friendly service and really made us feel welcome and at home. The units themselves had everything we needed to be extremely comfortable, cook meals, and enjoy a dip in the hot tub. The location is great just across from the lake with easy access to the beach and just a short walk to town. We will definitely stay here again on a future visit!

Great stay in Taupo!
Hotel was clean, hosts were great. Great location for the 70.3 worlds. We loved watching the sunsets, walking distance from all type of shops (ice cream, coffees, supermarket). Lake Taupo was more than warm enough to have a few dips, kids loved it. And there are a lot to do around Taupo for families. Well worth a trip!

Beautiful lakeview rooms; Amazing hosts
The property is right across the lake, and Franklyn and Kavita are the perfect hosts. We booked a one bedroom suite with a private hot pool. The suite comes with a living room that has a sofa that converts into a bed, a separate bedroom with a double bed, and a covered courtyard behind the bedroom that has the hot tub. The small kitchenette is helpful to whip up a quick meal or do some basic cooking. The bathroom is quite spacious and very modern. With plenty of parking, this is one of the best places to stay in Taupo. Nearly all of the rooms have a view of the lake. Both Kavita and Franklyn are passionate about hosting people, and it was great to have long conversations with them. I can't wait to be back again, albeit for a longer time.

More than Delighted
We won’t be staying anywhere else in Taupo after staying here. Our room had the delightful appeal of a stylish modern apartment. The view of the mountains and lake from our lounge were stunningly beautiful and our bedroom was quiet with the most comfortable bed.. we both slept very well. A stylish kitchen and bathroom with all the accessories you need.. our own sparkling clean private hot pool outside our room. A brilliant lakeside location with safe parking and wonderful Hosts. This is a quality and affordable Stay, and we were more than delighted.

Great accommodation with lake views
Fantastic place to stay in Taupo. We stayed 3 nights and loved that we could see Lake Taupo from our room and walk into town in around 15 minutes. Our room had everything we needed and was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We also loved the home-baked biscuits waiting for us on arrival.

Great trip! Highly recommend 😁
Absolutely fantastic stay at Gables Lakefront Motel in Taupo! Went with a group of friends over the January holidays from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The stunning views of Lake Taupo left us speechless. The room was immaculate, spacious, and provided all the comforts of home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable, the homemade biscuits are such a great touch. The tranquil atmosphere combined with the convenient location made exploring Taupo a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend Gables for an unforgettable stay in Taupo!"

Wonderful accommodation with fabulous outlook
What a wonderful find in Taupo! Fabulous accommodation in a stunning location. A real little gem! A lovely friendly welcome by owners who couldn’t do enough for us. Accommodation excellent and absolutely spotless. Bathroom and kitchenette very well equipped with everything you need. Would have been great to stay longer but had to move on. Great base for visiting area. Something to see and do in each direction.
The outlook absolutely fabulous and we had a welcome dip in the beautiful Lake T. Thank you to owners for a great stay. Thoroughly recommended.

The Gables is owner operated and an excellent place to stay with views of lake taupō. We were warmly greeted by Franky and his Wife. Franky showed us to the room which was immaculately clean and told us to make sure to eat the biscuits which his wife had baked and they were delicious!
