The stay was almost perfect. There was a bit of noise as you are directly across from the Hole in One. There is no assigned parking to your room so if you go out in the evenings there’s no guarantee you can park by your room when you return which was disappointing for us.

Stayed here a dozen times over the years and as usual it excellent value for money. Other than being clean and tidy there is no skimping on the little things that other properties of a similar price point are minimising now... Still has real milk, plenty of utensils, plunger coffee or bags, sky TV reasonable check in times etc.

This motel was in a fabulous location, right opposite the lake and easy walking to shops, cafes and restaurants. The motel had easy parking. The staff were all friendly and inviting. The rooms were very clean and modern. Having a kitchenette was great and we loved sitting on the deck area, overlooking the lake for drinks and nibbles. Loved our stay and can’t wait to return.

From start to finish this was an outstanding visit. Our studio was immaculate with all the amenities we could need and a lovely view. In fact the entire site is incredibly clean and well maintained. The shower was awesome and the towels “just right”. The location of the motel was ideal for sitting watching the Lake and mountains or walking into town for dinner / drinks. Our hosts Christine and Dave were so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly- nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to return for a stay as we arrived as strangers and left having made new friends. Christine and Dave - thank you for a wonderful visit and we will see you in 2026

The room is very clean and spacious. The location is very good and it is just opposite the Taupo lake and the view is nice. Restaurants, shops and supermarkets are all in walking distance. Everything is good. Only thing not them good is the WiFi, the signal is weak and not able to connect sometimes.

We stayed in Room 7 (upstairs) and the room was so spacious and well fitted out. Such great value for money, will definitely stay here again when in Taupo.
