We stayed here for one night and were initially pleased with the reception we received upon stopping at this motel. As we did not have a booking we were offered two rooms, one was promoted to us as having a spa bath overlooking the lake. We decided to take this room even though it cost considerably more than a standard... More

As we were staying for four nights chose to book a large family room. This proved to have good kitchen facilities but rather a lot of beds! Moved after one night to smaller double room but with a lake view which was good, although kitchen area very basic. Nice to use hot spa at end of day. Very handy for... More

This Motel really could do with some money spending on it, particularly a bit of painting and decorating, it really was a bit tatty. The room we had, had no view at all and was very gloomy. This was also the first motel room we have ever stayed in with nowhere to hang clothes, best we could do was to... More

We hadn't made a booking for our over night stay in Taupo so took pot luck with what was available. This motel was our first stop as we thought the location was perfect being on the lakefront and in town. We were shown room No.6 which was clean, well maintained and modern.

In any case when you were in side it was so dark with the only glass being in the door panel it made little difference. It was really tired and... More

We stayed here for three nights and I actually feel extremely ripped off by the price I paid due to the quality of the room we had. We had a family unit on the ground floor.....our view was someone elses car. For the money I paid I could have stayed somewhere very much nicer, the room was very tired and... More

Stayed here on 1st and 2nd of January 2013. The website only shows the newer units of the motel. There is no mention whatsoever of the older part. I was booked in the older part which is not on the website. The grounds on that side just made you think "what have I booked". If they tried a bit harder... More
