We loved our stay in Taupō! Across the road from the water, and just down the road from some delicious food options! The room was tidy, clean and comfortable!

Nice motel, with a very convenient location. A little bit outdated condition, but overall good value for money. For my next visit to Taupo, this motel will be on the top of the list.

Ordinary motel, be aware payment method
We didn’t know it’s e-check-in, which means no person at the reception. We have to pay by a credit card even I chose “pay on the site.”
The room was okay but the parking space was narrow so I suggest no big car into the parking.

Having a room at the back of the property was great as it was quiet. Easy walking distance to town. The bed was OK, the pillows were very hard and there were only 2 hangers, a few more would have been better.

The property was clean and tidy, beds comfortable. The self check in proved to be a bit difficult at first with no clear instructions of holding down both switches to open the key lock, but got there in the end.

Great Stay but Complicated Check-In Process
Our stay was enjoyable. The location is great and the place was very clean. The only negative is the check-in process. You have to call them ahead of time to get the code to retrieve the room key. If you are a foreigner travelling then you may not have an international calling plan so it was an expensive call for me.

A bit disappointed with the way of payment
First of all, the motel offered to pay on arrival but actually the fee had been deducted from my credit card when I booked!! There’s no one on site so anyway it’s impossible to pay on arrival. So you should be careful. And the parking space was very narrow. So if they are almost full, it would be a bit difficult to park a big car.
The shower has only a shower curtain so after taking a shower, the bathroom will be very wet so it’s better not coming in with your socks.
