Nice motel, with a very convenient location. A little bit outdated condition, but overall good value for money. For my next visit to Taupo, this motel will be on the top of the list.

I didnt understand the 4 star motel rating, in entry to the room I noticed the grubby carpet and wouldnt allow my grandchild on the floor. The pillows were way too hard, we couldnt utilise them and had to use the blankets instead. There was a pair of shoes left under the bed from the previous people, so it probably didnt get vacuumed under the bed before. However the manager Deon was lovely.

Nice place to stay in Taupo. Very easy checkin and the room was spotless, with a good heatpump for a cold winter day’s arrival. Comfortable bed and pillows for a good night’s sleep. My only suggestion for improvement is replacing the curtain tracks so they slide smoothly and easily.

Lovely location, nice lake view and clean rooms. Kitchen utilities weren't big enough for a large family, pots and dishes, kitchen towels and cleaning agents. Rest was superb.

Mixed experience- great value.
Great value for money. Just a little challenging having only telephone reception. You need to receive an email with lock box codes to gain access. We needed to change rooms due to wrong beds issued. They resolved it as quickly as as possible after a few ph calls. Decore is slightly tired but fine for a night. Great location.

Wow really nice unit for a great price. Felt super cozy and warm especially during these winter nights. Spacious. Everyone slept really well. Great views of the Lake. Excellent communication from staff. I love the fact that there was no end of check-in time even though we arrived an hour after. Wish we could have stayed another night. Next time for sure.
