I stayed here on a Geology field trip and the owners are so friendly and very accommodating to food allergies. Highly recommended. More

I had a 9 night stay at this motel, the owners, Wendy & Denis were amazing. Very hospitable and welcoming couple that were able to accomodate any requests, such as borrowing a car wash brush to wash my car. Having the kitchette was great as eating out each night becomes expensive, it was great to be able to prepare and... More

We have been staying with Wendy and Denis for more than 4 years now and every time we have a wonderful experience. We regularly travel through to Hawke's bay with our two small children and we always stay for one night on the way there and back to break our trip. It's such a luxury for us to stop and... More

I only stayed here for one night but wished it was more. Such a friendly welcome and a really spacious and clean studio room. Really good facilities in room. The location was perfect and I had a really restful stay. Any help / advice you needed on your trip you only had to ask. Really good value. More

The best thing about Catelli's is the hosts, Wendy and Dennis O'Callaghan. They provide hospitality head-and-shoulders above the rest, even for large groups that cause all sorts of complications. The motel is also very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and in a great location. I recommend it without reservation as a great place to stay for either work or a holiday. More

Again we stayed with Wendy and Dennis to compete in 2012 Ironman. Weather was terrible on arrival and Wendy gave us two lovely dressing gowns knowing we cannot carry too much luggage. Its like coming home for holidays. Wendy is the most delightful host and even though Ironman was altered she was on the side line cheering everyone on. I... More

We are regular visitors to Catelli's over the years, Wendy and Dennis are superb hosts, take a genuine interest in all their guests, units are always spot on with attention to detail, great location with the superb cafe Zest 50 metres up the road, and quiet as! True hosts :) More

We had an overnight in Taupo on our way through to Auckland. As other reviews have identified the hosts are cheerful, friendly and very relaxed. The room was large for a studio but very dated. Unfortunately we were the only people in the motel not doing a 24 hour round the lake relay so did experience a lot of noise... More

We are sorry that you were not happy with your stay. Before checking in I was careful to advise you that the night was one of the busiest of the year with the Round the Lake Cycle challenge on so there was a buzz in the motel with competitors and their families coming and going. I also personally showed you... More
