Excellent place to stay! We came for a triathlon race. At check in, Anthony had printed out the swims bike and run course maps for me, gave us travel tips, and provided us a cot for our baby. The rooms are perfect, warm water for showers, kitchenette, fridge, microwave, comfortable bed. The location is perfect right across from the lake, and within a short walk of several places to eat. There is also a free washer and dryer with soap provided. Anthony checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. We would absolutely stay here again!

Well priced. Great location - across from the lake. Close to town but not too close. Excellent wifi for a motel. I would recommend for people visiting on business. The host is a lovely gentleman that went out of his way (without feeling it was anything but something he enjoyed doing) to ensure I had not only what I needed to know for the room but checked what advice we needed for our stay. He provided excellent recommendations for dining and took my children into consideration. He also made sure I was across the tv for Netflix and YouTube for kids. The place is extremely clean including under furniture, my child who does not sit still let me know. Little extra touches in relation to quaint taste in cups and coffee table, mini pot plants, makeup removers, coat rack... The kitchen is stocked well and better than most kitchenettes. Easy to cook for family. Just arrived. Stayed in one bedroom unit for 2 nights. Here for work and family visit. Excellent choice. Well worth the cost.

Bugs but that is to be expected by a lake, no avoiding that. Not too many due to room being so clean. There was bug spray in the unit, so issue solved.

Very courteous host (Anthony). Very clean and spacious one bed upstairs apartment at back. Crisp comfortable decor. Much appreciated shampoo in bathroom. Plenty of towels and even face cloths. Actual mini-bars of soap instead of liquid shower dispenser. Good water pressure. TV easy to use - single remote. Heat pump worked. Extra blankets in room, thanks. More than enough bed pillows! Clean cutlery & crockery for breakfast. Did not cook in. Parking no problem, utes (out front) and SUVs (up the back, reverse park please).

A bag of plunger coffee would have been nice to go into the plunger, or even a sachet of hot chocolate mix. (Plenty of instant coffee and tea bags). Not a deal breaker.

Excellent hotel in a great location right opposite the lake. Free onsite parking. We stayed for two nights and the room was fantastic. A great size, comfortable bed, good shower, large TV and a kitchenette. The host Anthony was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us really good information about what we should do and see during our stay in Taupo. He even offered and gave us a lift to pick up our rental car.

Nothing. It was an excellent stay which we would highly recommend.

Location is good, just across the road from the lake and easy to walk into town. The room was a good size, clean with the usual features. For once the bed was quite comfortable (so many many motel beds are far too hard). The owner is friendly and quick to offer advice on where to visit etc. One good thing was he was always doing something around the property and chatting to guests. Good value for money and we will most likely stay here again.

We booked at the very last minute yet we were upgraded. The manager was delightful, friendly and helpful. He aalso let us put our bikes safely behind his apartment. The room was bright and clean with a view of the lake!

The shower was rather difficult to set to a ttemperature. The manager was surprised so I am sure it will get fixed really quickly.

Staff were very helpful. We were very concerned when we found there was no air conditioning as my husband has a serious heart problem. We thought we would need to go elsewhere but the man offered to bring in another fan which workied perfectly. The decor when you walked in had a clean fresh bright look.

The lighting wasn't very good for we oldies!! There wasn't enough towel rails.

A light bright and airy room which was quite spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was good with everything you need and decent space for food preparation. The rooms were older style but well maintained and nicely decorated and lovely to spend time in. Anthony the host was really helpful and friendly and made our stay very pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great weekend away in Taupo. The hotel is just across the water from the beach and an easy walk into the town centre for dinner or browsing the shops. Would definitely recommend

Our side table had coffee stains on it that weren’t wiped before check in and the bath tub is a bit faded so it didn’t feel completely clean. Our room the shower floor was soft making it not feel stable.

The room was clean and tidy, had plenty of room so you don't feel cramped. Beds were comfy and warm, was nice have an electric blanket on the bed. The kitchen is equipped with the basics for preparing a basic meal. The TV was great with access to Netflix and standard TV channels. Would happily stay here again.

The parking is VERY tight, you will need a small car and be confident at backing a car in small spaces. The bathrooms are OK just the extractor fans don't really expel the steam properly so the bathroom fogs up fast, but they are very clean and tidy, so it is only a very small thing and doesn't detract from the comfort of the room.
