Before arriving at the venue, we were notified that our room was ready & what our Parking lot number was, which meant we could park up without moving our car again. We were greeted with a friendly smile. Our accommodation was clean, tidy & awesome with everything we needed & more. A minute walk to the beach with shops in very close walking distance. We extended our stay an extra night which our hosts happily organized for us. Thank you for the perfect getaway. Will definitely recommend this place. We will be back.

I think this is the first time I’ve rated everything the highest possible score. Starting from the staff all the way to the cleanliness and attention to detail in the room we stayed in, I honestly can’t think of a single thing that was out of place.

We stayed in the King room - It was peaceful, quiet with all you needed. Very clean, modern and well maintained. A very helpful booklet to tell you how to use the TV and where you can eat out. Wonderful bathroom with excellent spa bath. Loved the wee bottle of milk. Secure key access.

Lovely motel! Rooms were amazing. The bath opening to main room was gorgeous. We had an upstairs room and cheeky view of lake. Was just lovely for my birthday getaway with my partner. Easy walk to town and bars

Outstanding hospitality! Everyone is going the extra mile to make this stay as relaxing, as positive, as special as possible. This was truly remarkable. The rooms were way better than we expected at this price range. The kitchenette had everything we needed, the bathroom was spacious and the bed/livingroom was big well designed. The BBQ and outdoor area was unique. We loved the pretty trees and the awesome grill. 10/10 and 100% recommendation. This was by far the best stay in New Zealand.

Wonderful room with a picturesque interior design, spacious bath room, and a great view on Lake Taupo with its ducks, geese, and black swans. Nice restaurant. Compared to other hotels: excellent Wi-Fi with high speeds.
