We stayed here lakefront and our caravan tipped over in the night while we were sleeping inside, from the strong wind. When we decided to leave early instead of staying another night that we booked, the reception staff was so understanding! They went above and beyond to make sure we were okay, even called us the next day to make sure we got home safe. We’ve stayed here a few times now and have always loved it. We’ll be back (just maybe not when it’s windy lol)

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind words — and wow, what an experience! We’re so glad you’re okay and that our team could be there to support you. It means a lot to hear that despite the wild weather, you still enjoyed your time with us and felt well looked after. We really appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back (hopefully with calmer weather next time!).

I had a lovely stay here. The cabin I had was perfect for my needs. It was very clean and comfortable. The facilities were also very clean and easily accessible. The locality and scenery is superb as the park is next to the lake. There is a store on site as well. It is a short drive to the mountains and to Taupo for more extra sight seeing.

Response from the owner:Hi Maidz, Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin suited your needs perfectly and that you enjoyed the beautiful lakeside setting. It's great that you made the most of the location—there’s certainly plenty to explore nearby! We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Dale Munro

The most amazing views from our campsite! Sitting in my caravan and watching the lake was the most peaceful experience 😍

Response from the owner:That sounds like a perfect getaway! We're so glad you enjoyed the stunning lake views and found it so peaceful. Hope to welcome you back soon! 😊

Rachael Rossiter

Booked a deluxe cabin for three nights for myself, husband and our daughter and absolutely loved it, one of the best little getaways we have had! Loved the location, cabin was great and amazing lovely staff! Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Hi Rachael, Wow—thank you for your fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that your family had such a wonderful getaway in our deluxe cabin. It’s great to know you loved the location, the cabin, and our amazing team. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon! Best regards, Motutere Bay TOP 10 Holiday Park

Not really one to post reviews but this place out did itself. We just finished a 3 day camp stay, location was amazing as were the staff. Super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and we will be back !

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience during your 3-day stay. Our team takes great pride in making guests feel welcome, and it’s wonderful to know the location and service made your visit special. We can't wait to host you again—see you next time!

The Sewing Grandad

I am using a fully self contained camper. However, this camp is the best situated, cleanest, with great facilities. And those few cabins I've seen open looked great compared to others I've seen this last week on The North Island of New Zealand.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our facilities clean, well-situated, and up to a high standard. It’s wonderful to know that our cabins and amenities stood out during your travels across the North Island. We hope to welcome you back to enjoy another stay soon! Safe travels, The Team at Motutere Bay TOP 10 Holiday Park

Ross Osborne

This is a fantastic spot. I would rate it as one of those Must Stay spots. The caravan sites are really big and you couldn't camp any closer to the lake without getting your feet wet. The staff are freindly and helpful.
But there's always a downside. In this case the main road separates the lakefront part of the campground from the main part where the kids playgrounds, office, shop and dump station are located. This posed a bit of a safety risk for our young kids and a backbreaking walk to empty the wastewater tanks.
But everything considered, we would most definately stay again and again and again.

Response from the owner:Thanks for your wonderful review, Ross! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the stunning lakefront sites (they are pretty special, aren't they?). It's great to hear the team made a positive impression too! We do understand your concerns about the main road, especially with little ones. Safety is a top priority, and we always encourage extra caution when crossing. As for the walk to the dump station, we know it can be a trek from the lakefront, but just a heads-up—there’s nothing stopping guests from driving up to the dump stations to make it a bit easier and save the backache. We’re so glad you’d stay with us again – we can’t wait to welcome you back!

Was a lovely stay !
Stayed in deluxe family cabin.
Reception lady was so happy & friendly.
Room nice & warm.
Playground & games room were one of the best I’ve seen at any top10.
Beautiful lake / views just across the road.

My one little not so fab remark is that there is no fence or gate into the holiday park; is just a few metres from cabin to a major high way. Have to be super super cautious with toddlers. A gate or fence would have made the stay absolutely perfect. I understand it would make it hard to pull in off the road. But yeah, if you have your children be aware of that :)

(Or have family cabins away from the road and near the park )

Response from the owner:Thank you, Samantha, for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in the deluxe family cabin and that the playground and games room met your expectations. Our team works hard to make every stay warm and welcoming, so it's wonderful to hear our efforts reflected in your experience. We understand your concern about proximity to the main road, especially with young children. While adding a gate or fence would indeed be a bit challenging for access, we appreciate your perspective and will certainly keep it in mind as we look into ways to enhance safety and layout around the park. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another lovely lakeside getaway!

Had a very relaxing 4 days, very well maintained unit, clean and tidy . Shop is well stocked. Friendly staff. Will definetly be back for more holidays. Our new fav holiday spot.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Deb, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had a relaxing stay and enjoyed our well-maintained unit, friendly staff, and well-stocked shop. It’s great to hear that our location worked well for exploring Taupō and Tūrangi too! We’re so happy to be your new favourite holiday spot and look forward to welcoming you back for more relaxing getaways.

Jane and Kyle

We were here in early October. The location is about 30 min from Taupo. The sites are not really well marked but since there wasn’t many other vans we parked our car sideways to get this beautiful view. We arrived later in the day so the office was closed. The view of the lake is beautiful. Sunrise to the right and sunset to the left. WiFi is a little spotty. Not sure if it was our location but the closer you are to the kitchen and bathroom the better the WiFi. The bathrooms are very clean. There’s even hairdryers in the bathroom. Wonderful location and wonderful price.

Response from the owner:Hi Jane and Kyle, Thank you for your review! It sounds like you made the most of our beautiful lake views—sunrise and sunset certainly add something special! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the clean facilities, and it’s helpful to know you appreciated the added convenience of hairdryers in the bathrooms. We hope to see you again soon for another peaceful stay! PS: Your photos are gorgeous... :)

Jason Apiata

Stayed here for two nights was a beautiful place to stay, staff very helpful and anything we needed was right there for us and the lake views so beautiful and other campers really friendly, see you next year.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Motutere Bay Holiday Park. It’s fantastic to know that our staff were helpful and that you found everything you needed during your visit. We're glad you appreciated the beautiful lake views and the friendly atmosphere among fellow campers. We're also pleased that the rooms met your needs and that you took advantage of nearby activities like the berm buster ride! Your feedback on safety and walkability means a lot to us, and we’re happy that you felt secure and could easily enjoy the scenic views. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year for another memorable stay! Safe travels until then!
