Gorgeous hotel gorgeous host!
We were arriving after check in hrs, I rang though to discuss with hotel and they were so lovely and helpful. Accommodating to our schedule perfectly. Very friendly when we meet in the morning. Have stayed a couple times now with this hotel. Recommend to friends and family for sure. 10/10 stay in Taupo!! Situated directly opposite the lake with stunning views. Gorgeous to wake up to. And our private thermal spa amazing.

Lovely place in Taupo
Hotel itself is older but it is well maintained and cared for. The lady that owns/manages the property is very friendly and helpful. The bed was a bit firmer than I like, but that’s a personal preference thing. View of the lake from the deck was spectacular. Rooms were very spacious. Good value for sure.

8/10 Very Good

The advertisement for the Motel did not state that it is undergoing refurbishment. My suite was a little ‘tired’ and consequently I thought, expensive. The thermal pools have been completely rebuilt and are excellent. The Management opened them especially for me. Once complete, I think the refurbished Motel and Spa will be excellent.

8/10 Very Good

A hidden gem in Taupo if wanting a place to stay that’s not expensive and flashy. Loved the individual thermal hot spa for each room. Greatly appreciated after a long day of driving. Great water pressure in shower. Only downside - no Skytv/Netflix.

The staff were very friendly. The downside was advertising guest laundry facilities and not being available. You were able to get valet laundry at a sizeable fee.
