Anchorage Resort Taupo NZ

I rang very late looking for last minute accommodation and Peter answered the phone and booked me into a lovely upstairs room, what a surprise when I woke to see the beautiful view of the lake. The heating was turned on when I arrived, and this room was super clean, a bonus of a comfortable bed. I travel a bit for business and this gem of a place will definitely be starred on my favourites list. Not sure who Peter is (the owner maybe?) but he was so welcoming on the phone, and his happiness reflects in how well kept this place is.

Awesome little motel/resort . Great value for money and clean and tidy. We stayed at the anchorage for two nights over school holidays as a small getaway from Napier. Its a no thrills motel not trying to be anything other than what it is. Nice spacious rooms, tidy and clean , warm and good amenities. The heated pool and spa pool was an added bonus and something that elevates the experience. This place has a good aura and feel which not doubt reflects the owners as they are super welcoming and friendly. My only negative was The pull out sofa bed probably needs to be discontinued as a sleeping option in a room as its virtually springs with little to no mattress but next time I’d just get a two bedroom unit. Thanks for your hospitality.

Anchorage Resort is always our 'go to' on our way or to meet family. Have stayed 5 times now. Peter and the team are exceptional, go out of their way to make your stay memorable. I love the quiet location, lake views, heated pool, spa, well kept landscaping, accessible parking off the road, safe storage for bikes and clean, warm immaculate rooms. Have never heard others next door. Highly recommend to stay and enjoy pizzas and drinks at 2 Mile Bay Sailing club just across the road. Always look forward to our stay.
