Lakeside Hotel & Dining
Your Stay on Lake Taupo
Comfortable rooms, a restaurant with views, event spaces and attentive service — set on the shore of New Zealand's largest lake.
Welcome
A Hotel That Looks After You
Taupo Terrace is built around a simple idea: make every stay easy, comfortable and worth returning to. Whether you are here for a weekend with friends, a working trip or a family holiday, the team handles the details — from breakfast timing to dinner reservations, late checkouts and local recommendations.
The hotel sits directly on Lake Terrace, minutes from the Taupo town centre and a short drive from Huka Falls, the Craters of the Moon and Tongariro National Park. After a day out, come back to a clean room, a meal that doesn't rush you and a bar with something worth drinking.

Dining
Restaurant & Bar
The restaurant seats guests in a calm, natural-light space with lake views. The menu centres on New Zealand produce: Waikato beef, fresh fish from Taupo, seasonal vegetables and locally baked bread. Breakfast runs from 6:30 am for early risers, and dinner service offers two- or three-course options.
The bar is open to hotel guests and visitors. It serves coffee through the day and a full drinks list in the evening. Private dining can be arranged for groups of eight or more, with a tailored menu and dedicated service.
Events & Meetings
