We were checked in by the owners and given some milk for a welcome coffee. Great sized room with a little kitchenette. A nice, somewhat-private outside space with chairs and a table. Jacuzzi spa and a big, modern bathroom. Comfy king sized bed. Amazing location for a great price - especially over NYE!!

    we didn't know when we booked about the roadworks on the road outside the motel, and were very happy the motel put us in a downstairs quiet room. Thank you!. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious and without the roadworks would have had access to the lake across the road. We didn't see the staff but were given the code for the box the get our room key, very covid friendly

    Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.

    Great motel, contactless check in went smoothly, room was a good size and once again i went for the spa bath option which was really awesome after a long day on the road. Bed is comfortable and although i didn't meet the owners the cleaning staff are very friendly.
