Great location, bit of maintenance needed
So great to find a spot right by the lake that allows pets for us to holiday with our furry one. Few things that need attention... when we sued the spa bath, dirt and bugs came out of the jets when we turned them on, not ideal. The light was not fitted well in the bathroom with a large gap allowing steam to enter to exposed wiring, bit of a safety risk. It would have been good to have access to a vacuum or have the room vacuumed during the daily cleans due to the tiny atones that track in from the lake.

Excellent motel
My wife and I along with our 5 year old grandson stayed there for two nights. Excellent location with direct access from the room to the lake path. We had a water leak in the bathroom on our second day, which the owner sorted out quickly. The owner gave our grandson a goodie bag and gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. Some parts of the property are in need of renovation, but the new owners are busily working through the renovations. Great location and friendly owners and staff.

The property isn't the most modern in the area but everything else about it is excellent. Great value for money, excellent area and a friendly boat club/bar/pizzeria just down the road. Why pay double the price. Room was clean, good facilities and a small pool and spa at the rear.

Cascades is pet friendly ( dogs allowed inside). It is right on the waterfront of lake taupo, the staff are super super helpful and friendly. The units are huge ( not brand new) but very clean and very functional and very pleasant. Highly recommend this place. Go there it's worth it.

Liked our stay here, great little path from the room down to the lake for a walk with our doggy, the room was laid out good, had everything we needed for a nice cup coffee and good nights sleep. The bathroom was a little dated and could do with an in depth clean in some areas other than that we enjoyed our stay here the hosts were lovely and very accommodating.
