Accessible HostelSummary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' category'Based by the Lake' is conveniently situated in downtown Taupo, offering guests easy access to shops and beautiful locales, including the lake, just moments away. Public parking is available nearby, enhancing the accessibility for those arriving by car. However, for guests with mobility challenges, the hotel's infrastructure presents some difficulties. The building is three stories high, with an elevator that only reaches the first floor, leaving upper-level rooms accessible only by stairs. This design means that guests with disabilities or those carrying substantial luggage may find it challenging to reach rooms on the second and third floors. Fortunately, the attentive staff have been noted for their willingness to reassign rooms when necessary, ensuring those with mobility issues can stay on the ground floor. Despite the limitations in vertical mobility within the hotel, the staff's responsiveness and the property's prime location make it an acceptable choice for visitors prioritizing proximity to Taupo's attractions.

Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categorySilver Fern Lodge stands out for its advantageous location, making it remarkably accessible for guests with disabilities. The lodge is conveniently situated within an easy walking distance to downtown Taupo, offering seamless access to a variety of shops, the supermarket and eateries nearby. Guests commonly appreciated its prime proximity to the city center and the nearby Lake Taupo, which is ideal for engaging in numerous activities around the lake.
Despite its advantageous location, there are notable accessibility concerns. The absence of a lift poses difficulties for those with mobility issues, particularly when needing to access upper floors. This makes the ground floor accommodations a more suitable choice for guests requiring easier access. Some reviews pointed out that, while staff are helpful and assist with carrying prams, maneuvering prams can still be somewhat challenging due to limited turns.
The overall access and parking at Silver Fern Lodge receive positive mentions. Guests highlighted the ease of getting in and settling with full access provided to the kitchen facilities, enhancing their stay. However, feedback also pointed to some upkeep issues, specifically in respect to heating, mattress conditions and cleanliness in bathrooms which may impact the overall experience for guests.
