Motutere Bay TOP 10 Holiday Park
2.5/5
In my opinion this is not a place for tents.
The only good thing about this place it is the view; you can be near to the beautiful lake, landscape is amazing, but the kitchen is not well equipped, kitchen it is too small however, bathrooms are clean and water is warm. The WORST thing it’s the noise all night and all day. Camping site it is near to the way, and big trucks and cars are passing all night. I could not sleep because of the noise. This takes away a lot of value to the place which is quite expensive. I couldn’t rest that the worst.
Thank you Valentina and we are sorry to hear that the park didn't suit you. If you do decide to stay again please consider staying on the hillside rather than the lakeside. You will still enjoy the views however the sites are further back from the highway and are impacted much less by the traffic noise. Whilst it is very unfortunate that the park is located where it is some positive action is being taken by the New Zealand Traffic Authority. There is a review of speed limits happening around Lake Taupo. They are proposing a reduction in speed limit from 100 to 60 and we support this as we believe this not only be safer but will reduce the noise impact on the park. We hope that the reduction to the speed is actioned and soon. As a rule, we do advise guests that the area on Lakeside can be noisy and I apologise for this not being the case when you checked in.
