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.

I recently stayed at Catelli's of Taupo to participate in the 2012 New Zealand Ironman. This hotel is very convient to town, the beautiful lake, and all of the Ironman events. The owners of the hotel are very friendly and helpful. Thank You! 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
