Suncourt Hotel & Conference Centre, hotel in Taupo

Suncourt Hotel & Conference Centre offers spectacular views of Lake Taupo and the volcanoes of Tongariro National Park.

Units are a bit dated. They need a freshening up. You pay a high price for the location which is good but the units good have been a lot nicer. Really comfy and roomy bed but we had to pay extra for this - overall worked out very expensive. Drive in entrance cracked and broken could be a problem if walking back to your room at night. Also parking area surface needs attention. We don't feel as if Suncourt put a lot of money into the upkeep of the property.

    We just wanted the best affordable accommodation as we were passing through to spend the day with family then returned again the next night. Loved having a comfortable and spacious hotel type room to relax in after a long drive.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime.

    The local buses need to run later into the nighttime. Restaurant and Fast Food place sort of central in about 4 blocks. Huka Falls Jet and Rapid Jet need to consider a shuttle service from downtown Taupo because it is dare for a Uber ride and even darer for a Taxi. My favourite place to eat was Portofino Taupo, their service was exceptional.

    A fabulous place to stay and explore we did a cruise on Lake Taupo I highly recommend on the Ernest Kemp .We visited the Huka falls which was an amazing experience. Taupo is easy to get around walking or driving and there’s lots of great shopping. We ate at a waterfront restaurant “ Lone Star “which have specials at lunchtime ,steak was awesome. We enjoyed “ Lotus Thai” fabulous food , good service staff very friendly a great night . Lake Taupo is a must see experience 😁

    So many really good restaurants and cafes.

    So many really good restaurants and cafes. Mini Golf and Golf at the main courses are always a must for us and we have visited all courses including the beautiful Wairekei Course many times before. Retailers are always very warm and helpful and good walking paths around the lake. Scenery also really good, especially in the winter months with the snow capped mountains. Locals always say Hi when your'e out walking etc.

    Sailing on the lake is a must do activity but do dress for the occasion. he town has some interesting features and is well worth walking around. Look out for the Superloo and the DC-3 at a well known eatery. Don't miss the wool shop for some great items that are locally made. Search out the Huka Falls and all the volcanic activity above the town. Spend some time exploring the scenery by car or on foot. Learn how to pronounce the name of the town before you leave.

    We booked eMotel in a whim, we just needed a place to stay in Taupo on our way south. I'm happy to say we'd 100% stay again. The rooms are large, clean and for us anyway the added bonus of a washer/dryer. We made full use of that as we'd been traveling for a while. The motel is on a very quiet street only a minutes walk from stunning Lake Taupo. Super friendly owners, our only regret is we didn't stay longer.

    Super friendly staff -- the owners run the place themselves -- and a delightful garden with space aplenty for all the guests. It's one block from the shore of Lake Taupo. The presence of geothermal hot water means that rooms have a spigot to their own quickly-filled patio hot tubs, which is an amenity like few I've ever encountered. The building itself is older and a bit creaky, but even that has its charm.

    Our first choice of Taupo accommodation. Small personable motel but plenty of room inside each unit. Always spotlessly clean. Comfy bed, good pressure in shower. Short walk (less than 5 mins) to lakefront and town centre. Love the fact you get a text when your room is ready. It's ideal for travellers who may arrive before normal permitted entry of 2pm.

    Great view of the lake, warm, quiet room, and lots of recommendations on local eateries and bars etc. Great to be able to bring Pixie along as well. Pixie is our little white maltese dog. She was very respectful and comfortable as well. Will be back again and have recommended your hotel to family and friends

    Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.
