About Taupo Terrace
A lakeside hotel and dining destination in the heart of New Zealand's central North Island.
Taupo Terrace sits on the shore of Lake Taupo, one of New Zealand's most recognisable natural landmarks. The hotel combines comfortable accommodation, quality dining and attentive guest service with a location that puts visitors close to hiking trails, geothermal parks, cycling routes and the Taupo town centre.
The hotel serves a range of guests: couples visiting for a weekend away, business travellers attending regional meetings, families exploring the area, and event organisers looking for a venue with both indoor spaces and outdoor surroundings. The restaurant and bar are open daily, and the events team supports corporate functions, private celebrations and group bookings throughout the year.
For adult guests aged 20 and over, the casino hall offers an evening entertainment option within the hotel. It is one part of the wider guest experience, alongside the restaurant, bar, spa and pool.
Our approach is straightforward: we look after our guests well, we keep the hotel comfortable and well maintained, and we help people plan their visit with clear information and responsive service.
