Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn

About this place

Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn is a motel at 76-80 Lake Terrace, Taupō, on the lakefront road opposite the shore of Lake Taupō. Many units look directly across New Zealand's largest lake to the mountains beyond. Downtown Taupō is about a ten-minute walk along the lakefront. The property is operated under the Leroy Hotels banner.

### The offer

The motel's accommodation page lists 36 units made up of one three-bedroom apartment, one two-bedroom apartment, ten one-bedroom suites, four family units and twenty studios, along with disabled access units. (The home page refers to 35 units, so confirm the exact inventory when contracting a group.) Room types include Lake View Studios with super king or king beds, Queen Spa Studios, ground floor and upstairs one-bedroom units, One Bedroom Suites with spa, One Bedroom Family Units, an Upstairs Two Bedroom Unit sleeping up to six with a double sofa bed, and an Upstairs Three Bedroom Unit with a king, a queen and two king singles.

One-bedroom units offer a choice of kitchen or kitchenette facilities. All units have a 32-inch flat screen TV with four SKY channels plus Freeview, and free WiFi. Several units have double spa baths. Check-in is from 2.00pm and check-out is 10.00am. Off-street parking is provided with numbered car parks allocated to each unit, which is useful for groups arriving in convoy. Cooked and continental breakfasts are available.

### Food and beverage

The property has an on-site bar and restaurant, Jolly Good Fellows, serving food and beverages in a casual British pub style with outdoor seating and lake views. Jolly Good Fellows also offers room-service dinner to Twin Peaks guests. Having a licensed venue on site is a practical advantage for group dinners and informal networking without moving the group off property.

### Meetings and events capability

The motel's own website does not describe dedicated conference rooms, AV or delegate packages, so groups should enquire directly about what meeting space, if any, can be made available. Its clearest business-events role is as accommodation and dining for delegates, incentive groups and sports teams attending events elsewhere in Taupō, with the town centre, lakefront and event venues close by.

### Suitability

A practical, mid-range lakefront base for incentive groups, team travel and delegates attending conferences in Taupō, with the added convenience of an on-site restaurant and bar and a broad mix of unit sizes for mixed party types.
