My stay at Motutere Bay Top 10 Holiday Park had its ups and downs. While the lakefront views were stunning and the location is great for swimming, the noise from the highway was quite disruptive, especially at night. Although the staff were friendly and the cabin was relatively spacious, the cleanliness of the kitchen utilities left something to be desired. Overall, it's a mixed experience, leaning towards positive. 🌅🏕️

I had a wonderful stay at Motutere Bay Top 10 Holiday Park. the views of Lake Taupo were absolutely stunning, especially during sunrise and sunset. While I appreciated the cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, including the communal areas, I did notice some unwanted beetles upon arrival which needed vacuuming. Overall, I found it to be a relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I had a wonderful stay at Motutere Bay Top 10 Holiday Park. The location near the lake is unbeatable, allowing for stunning sunrises and sunsets just a few steps away. While I did notice some noise from the highway at night, it wasn't a major issue thanks to earplugs. The facilities were well-maintained, and even on busy nights, I didn't have to wait for the BBQ areas or kitchen facilities, which was impressive. However, I did encounter some challenges with the site allocation due to trees blocking part of our camping area.
