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!!

I cannot begin to explain what a wonderful stay we had here. The place is in a privileged spot facing the beach and we were lucky enough to get one of the rooms facing the lake directly, which made us feel we had our own private beach. The owners are charming and very kind and we will never forget this place!

Having stayed here on the 4/11/24, I was pleasantly reminded of a time when everyone whom greeted you, greeted you the way we were treated. With genuine, sincere, willingness. The rooms are immaculate. The view from the top floor....mesmerizing. The service....unparalleled and unrivaled. This is such a pleasant, relaxing, homely place to stay. Rarely have I felt the need to commend anyone before, but this place is quite literally stunning. I will DEFINITELY be returning to THIS astounding establishment. Peter is without a doubt one of the most helpful, sincere, genuine, typically "Kiwi" hosts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Well done sir.

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.
