This is a budget style accommodation which was perfectly fine for two nights. The bed was not the best I have slept on however it was it was a short term stay. Rooms are only serviced after the second night of stay however it was nice to come back and find fresh towels in the bathroom.

Lovely position, right on lake front. Great spot to watch the sunset. Two bedrooms - lovely comfy beds. Enjoyed our stay, everything there we needed and room was clean. However motel was dated, in need of renovation/decorating. Bathroom needed better lighting. Love Taupo and would definitely stay here again.

Great layout for family of four. Spacious. Clean and tidy. Excellent pool facilities. Functional (nothing sheik about it). Excellent location. Negatives: rusty jug (couldn’t make children’s drink/bottle). Extremely low maintained. Aircon did not work - only remote, room was very hot without open windows and doors. Everything is very dated and old (the advertised pics look way better). Squeaky as floor boards under carpet! Check-in was at another hotel next door. They had a bin that was twice the size of a bin liner so it was kinda inconvenient using that (no point in a liner). The place feels very well used but the cleanliness was good as the standard stay. I recommend but not if you’re looking for something pretty

It is a lovely motel & the lake is right next to it, which is why we stayed there. Amazing to have an evening seat outside our apartment by the lake & also to wake up with the lake view through the window.
