The Executive Motel was only a 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of Taupo, and was a very comfortable place to stay. The room was really big, the facilities were all we needed (including the jacuzzi bath-tub!) and Wolfgang the owner was as friendly and helpful as possible. Prices were reasonable too, and the view of the lake from... More

We stayed here for one night on a business trip. The rooms were very upmarket, clean, comfortable and warm. The balconies outside the rooms would give a lovely outside ambience in the summer. The lake is right out the front to the motel and gives a wonderful view. Our host was friendly and helpful, and when I asked where to... More

Wolfgang greeted us and he was very helpful in finding us a great restaurant. The motel was pretty basic but very clean and an overall good value. Parking was a little difficult due to the tight driveway. We stayed an a lot of plush hotels and the only thing that could be improved in our opinion was the bed. It... More

For our one-night stay the choice of motel couldn't have been better. Between spouse and self we wondered whether the motel was new as the room was spotless in all respects. Wolfgang was most helpful and willing in finding local phone numbers for me. Excellent for the one-night though I wouldn't stay longer due to lack of storage space for... More

I had a really lovely stay here. the best part were the owners. I had left my DVD of my bungee jump and they went through the trouble of sending me the files and even offering to post the DVD. That goes above and beyond! More

During our 4 week round trip of New Zealand this was the worst place we stayed in. Originally we booked 3 nights. Upon arrival the owner of the motel welcomed us in a not very friendly manner. Our room was not very homely and gave us an uncomfortable feeling. So we went down to the reception and asked if we... More
