Our family reunion in Taupo was enhanced by the excellent customer service and great location of the Acapulco Motor Inn. The owners could not have been more helpful in ensuring everyone in our party, from under 1 to 84 years old, was warm, comfortable and well-hosted. Being within easy walking distance of town and away from the traffic noise on... More

Our extended family - age range 8 months to 84 years - recently enjoyed a family reunion at the Acapulco Motor Inn. The rooms were comfortable, clean, warm and adequately equipped. The stand out feature for us was the attitude of the owners. The extra requests that we made - heating up food for a shared meal, rearranging outdoor furniture!... More

I stayed in this motor inn with a disabled family member. I was impressed with the amount of trouble the owners went to, to ensure our comfort and that the facilities worked for us. Pleasant surroundings and good facilities

It's all about expectations, and when they're not met one is justifiably disappointed. When booking this motel I relied heavily on the 4-star rating claimed for it. Well, the room we had was definitely NOT 4-star. This was a studio room right in the corner of a U-shaped courtyard. The room itself was somewhat ordinary, comfortable enough but did not... More

My wife and I went on a 2 week holiday to New Zealand, and when in Taupo, we stayed at this motel. It was very nice, and the location close to the town and also the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped and overall very good place.

Very nice motel, everything in place. Kitchen is fully equipped. Staff very friendly! When I wanted a real frying pan instead of electric one, I was given a private pan owned by the host. Close to the lake; a bit further from the city centre.

This is a single-storey motel, meaning that there´s no noise from above and moving heavy suitcases is easy. Rifle Range Road has very little traffic, so there´s no traffic noise. We had a standard studio and it was perfectly adequate for our needs. The kitchenette was sparsly equipped and had no cooking facilities apart from a microwave oven. However A/C... More

We got a garden view room, which was better than the parking lot. It had a laundry facility on site and kitchenette (I think). The part I liked was the free unlimited internet access, which other places, I found, did not.
