Tony's Lodge

Wakk to lake

Nothing really,except hearing other guests talking while your sleeping

It was a awesome breakfast

Nothing to complain

El desayuno increíble con tortilla recién hecha y variedad. Ambiente hogareño y el dueño muy atento, amable y gracioso. Ubicado al lado del lago.

Algo de frío en zona de los baños.

I have 3 little ones all under 5 we felt safe, warm and well looked after! Regardless of tony being fresh out of hospital he still went out of his way to make sure breakfast was ready and yum by the time we got up, he made our family trip 10x better!! You truly get that loving NZ hospitality everyone raves about with him! We will be coming back in the future when our babys are bigger!

I like the way the stuff treat us. The house is warm and clean, free breakfast and some teas and coffee to during cold morning. The place is quite and chill we slept really well.

Tony is a wonderful host and very friendly/welcoming. Breakfast was generous too.

The shared facilities are tired and water pressure low in shower.

Tony is delightfully friendly, lovely breakfast, nice and warm.

Very convenient

Lovely home and awesome host

Nothing

Friendly, accommodating owner. Helpful, going out of his way returning my bottle by post and was willing to cook sister in law breakfast for free.

We had to go a day early because of weather situation but will be back.

Tony was the best host. So lovely and goes above and beyond.

Friendly host,.comfortable family home atmosphere, yummy breakfast

It’s lovely outlook and cozy inside, there’s 2 toilets and showers which is handy for few people staying there. Mirrors and tap in a rooms are convenient for blushing teeth, I liked a lot of more things! Tony the owner was fabulous and we appreciate his hospitality, warm breakfast with huge omelets, fruits and bread like traditional kiwi BF was beautiful!

More of an Airbnb type set up than a hotel. You’re in Tony’s house but that’s okay. In fact he was very accommodating. Even driving us both into town to pick up a take away. Breakfast was very good.

Bit on the cold side in the shower and toilet in the morning. Also a bit out of town.

Very comfortable, everything was great Tony is a awesome host. Will definitely be staying again.

Tony was very friendly, he was ok with us taking our small dog. We left early so missed his "signature" breakfast. (He did offer to get up early and make it for us though)

Tony was really welcoming and introduced us to use his kitchen. The room was clean, sheets clean and fresh and had electric blankets! The whole house was really warm which was welcomed after a long drive and it was cold outside. The room had a sink which was great. Breakfast was a choice of cereals laid out on the table in the morning. The kids were treated with cocoa pops. Tony offered an omelette to us too. Really nice fruit juice, and a selection of drinks. Perfect to set us up again. Thanks so much Tony. We will definitely see you again 😊

You need to be able to look past the homes age to enjoy Tony's great hospitality.

Tony nous reçoit chez lui comme à la maison c'était très bien 👍

Host and the location.

A bit of cleaning is required

Tony was a awesome 👌 host very friendly great communication real homely an just a good kiwi bloke will go back one day for sure keep up the good work.

Tony est vraiment un hôte très agréable et sympathique, il adore discuter ce qui permet d’avoir une vision de la Nouvelle Zélande de l’intérieur ! On a passé un super séjour et le petit déjeuner est bien (option omelette préparée à la minute top !)

C’est une ancienne maison qui est un peu dans son jus, il ne faut pas s’attendre à quelque chose de moderne ou d’immaculé, mais les photos le montrent très bien donc sans surprise !

Welcoming, accommodating with our check in time

It was very close by the Taupō lake, where we could have a swim.

Tony je skvělý hostitel, milý, ochotný, přátelský, nápomocný. Dokonce mi zapůjčil trackové hole, vstal s námi cca ve 4:30 kvůli našemu výletu, aby nám připravil snídani. Doporučuji ❤️

Suited my needs really well as I was attending a function nearby. Comfy. Tony was a really nice guy Very helpful and kind

托尼人豪爽，關心每一位來訪的客人，特別是手藝不錯，早餐的起司歐姆蛋十分驚艷，讓我們有賓至如歸的感覺😇

房間洗手檯熱水好燙喔！要小心綜合冷水後，再ㄧ起使用🥹記得用洗水盆接水哦😂

Massive breakfast with many options, Very friendly and welcoming host, comfortable room and beds

Breakfast was so good, and Tony made us an omelette which was probably the best one I've had in a long time. He's such a friendly host.

What's described is what's there. It's affordable, comfortable and it's got everything you need for a good night's rest.

Really nice stay. Tony is such a great host, he took very good care of us. The house is nice, cozy, and clean. It’s also very close to Lake Taupō, perfect for a swim. Breakfast was really good—he cooked us a delicious omelette. A great spot to recover after the Tongariro Alpine Crossing 🙂

The hospitality was really good and the owner was amazing person

Accueil et petit dej super, bonne convivialité entre les 3 chambres

Propreté limite et sdb partagée

The setting is amazing for others

It wasn't child safety, it wasn't a environment for babies so i didn't stay

Comfortable bed, great location with a great view at the lake which was a short walk away, great and friendly host. Was great waking up to breakfast and everything was straight forward

De vrijheid en vriendelijkheid van Tony. Het leuke verblijf en het met zorg gemaakte ontbijt.

The warm and friendly welcome from Tony and fellow guest Jean who shared her early crop of feijoas and interesting life stories. We booked late as a stopover between Tongariro and Taupo and this homely lodge was the perfect choice. Great breakfast laid on and comfortable bed! Thank you Tony for a memorable stay.

Liked everything!

Cosy travellers lodge, easy to access and ticked all our boxes for a quick overnight stay. Friendly staff, comfortable stay as a family.

We had a lovely stay at Tony’s. Super friendly, comfortable and a great breakfast. The lake is a short walk and was fabulous for a morning swim.

Very good breakfast. Although we booked Turangi it was some few kilometres out.

just state the distance.

Exceptional host who made us feel very welcome. Good selection of food for breakfast. Good outside space to socialise plus access to lake nearby to swim. BBQ facilities available and laundry. Location was great for 3 night stay.

Could do with a bit of dusting but bedroom and bathrooms clean. Shared kitchen also needs to be a bit tidier and cleaner.

Breakfast was fantastic, Tony is super friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Breakfast was great! Host was great!

Breakfast was great, a lot of variety and the cooked omelette Tony made was delicious. Good price and Tony is very friendly.

Warm and cosy in winter. Great breakfast. Friendly host.

Tony was a great friendly host with a well laid out breakfast in the morning to start the day, Great place to stay for the value of cost

tony is a great guy. very friendly

all good

Very friendly

Cosy, friendly, and homely

All was good

Absolutely lovely experience! Tony runs a wonderful B&B and is truly one of the warmest, kindest hosts we’ve ever met. He strikes the perfect balance between being available for a chat or help, and giving guests their space and privacy. We also had the chance to meet some lovely fellow guests, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Our room was super comfortable, and the whole house felt cozy and warm — especially appreciated during our winter stay. The location is great for exploring the nearby mountains, and there’s convenient on-site parking. Comfy beds, heaters, electric blankets for chilly nights, and a delicious breakfast in the morning made everything just right. Most importantly for us — our dog felt just as welcome as we did :) We couldn’t have asked for more and will absolutely be coming back!

Tony is a very amazing person he welcomed us very nicely and took care of us like we are family. This place is recommended and a must visit!

Perfect spot to stay for those with pooches. Fantastic short walk to lake front with magic views. House was warm and cosy and host was super friendly.

I enjoyed staying there, and would come back for some more hick in the region. Great host! Confortable warm bed (I visited and stayed two nights during winter time).

Tony is such a gem!

Relaxed, friendly. Always fun staying here and Tony is a great host

Tony's Scrambled eggs is nice, must try it

Tony is such a great person! The moment you arrive, you feel at home. The room was comfortable, the bathrooms clean, and the breakfast delicious. Helpful local advice, interesting stories and willingness to stay there again!

Wicked sense of humor if passing and need to stop it's the place

Super convenient on SH1 but only 150m short walk from the lake. The host is super friendly, yet professional and gives you as much attention or space as you need. The breakfast was a nice bonus. Although rural, the wifi is stable, no issues getting work done. There's plenty of showers and toilets for a sense of privacy even though "shared".

Not a fault of the host, but I underestimated the traffic on SH1 over night.

Everything

Nothing

Tony! Best Host Ever!

Only small issue was the shower… but only worth mentioning in case you really need one!

Nice cosy room for the 4 of us, lounge area as well. 150m to the lake is great! Breakfast was wonderful, we will come back with pleasure

Tony was a friendly and great host! Rooms were quiet and comfortable and breakfast in the morning was nice.

General cleanliness could be slightly improved but overall sufficient.

Good price. Tony, the host, is really accommodating. The lodge has good parking spaces. Breakfast was good. The place is cozy.

My wife's bed has bed bugs. She's still suffering from the bites 5 days after. Living area is a bit dusty, especially the top of the TV and the mugs too. Need a bit of cleaning. Electric finish broken. The family room could be bigger.

Hospitality by Tony ,breakfast and location.

Warm clean friendly accessible
