We only stayed one night but would stay for a longer trip. Very comfortable Unit either new or recently renovated. Clean and comfortable with a huge bathroom area ideal for people with mobility problems or wheelchair. Plenty of parking and near Taupo centre. Excellent value for money.

Room tip: Unit 9 is great, wheelchair friendly and away from the road.

From Check in to check out, the hosts were attentive and helpful. I mean it. Not just nice folks, they help us with laundry, kept our place tidy, and even shared some tasty chicken adobo with us.

The kitchen is small but includes everything you need. We had a full house and didn’t feel cramped or in need of anything. Fresh towels were brought daily. They even put our clean dishes away after they were dry.

The motel is well situated in town. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Booked three nights, stayed two. New owners. On arrival we thought the shower was dirty. I contacted the pleasant receptionist, who came to inspect the shower but didn't make much comment. We said we wouldn't be needing it that night, but could they make sure it was well cleaned the next day. There was no difference when we came back the next evening. It is a stainless steel shower pan, it should be sparkling, as should the bench/sink. Bedding is clean, rooms are dark, wall paper is peeling. Sorry to say it, but it's a bit of a dump.

Room tip: Avoid Units 1 & 2 to avoid road noise.

This motel is great if you’re travelling on a budget, we paid $70 for one night and had a comfortable queen bed to snuggle down into.
We slept very well until the neighbours on both sides woke up at 6am. Sadly the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything from people talking to toilets flushing.
It’s next to a busy road and as we were in a unit near the road it was pretty noisy.
The rooms definitely need an upgrade (it was like stepping back in time!!) but the facilities were spotlessly clean and the bed linens were great quality.
I would stay here again at a last resort but wouldn’t go out of my way.

Last minute stop, still building work going on more rooms. Although the room had beds for 4 it does need a bit of TLC. Not far from town and the lake. This was a last minute stop over so we only needed a bed and shower which was adequate.
