About this hotel

With its prime lake front location, the Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

is the ultimate in elegant modern accommodation. With uninterrupted views of Lake Taupo and the surrounding mountains, the hotel is a short distance from many of Taupo’s famous attractions such as Huka Falls, water and snow skiing, hot mineral pools, golf courses, and lake cruises. The hotel has 12 suites and 39 guest rooms, all artfully decorated, and most have views across the lake. Edgewater Restaurant is a casual, yet elegant and family friendly dining option for all day dining. On site, you can also find a heated swimming pool, private grotto plunge pool, sauna and gym. The same elegance and sophistication that features throughout the hotel continues into the conference rooms where we provide the ideal venue for meetings, formal dinners, cocktail parties, wedding receptions or product launches. The hotel is 100% smoke free.
