My Husband and I stayed here for 7 nights with our puppy. We are so happy that we found this place so that we could bring our boy on our trip. The room was PERFECT for us. The staff were all so lovely, so welcoming. The room literally had everything we needed. Most awesome thing we loved was THE BED AND THE SUNSET VIEW! Omg that bed I wanted to take home haha. We are quite hot people so we only used the sheet as our blanket but if you are a cold person, they have the nicest heaviest blankets that would be perfect for you. Many people talk about the location but we loved coming back home after being in the city centre (literally 5-15mins away). It was so peaceful! We plan on returning next year!

Maybe some curtains would be good but honestly not even something that fully bothered us.

We absolutely loved our accommodation overall. It didn’t really look promising from the outside but as soon as we got in, even my 19 month old toddler who can bare speak said “wow pretty” and it was amazing. The beds were so comfortable and warm that we wished to stay an extra night because of how comfy it is. We loved how all the facilities we needed was in reach. The shower was just amazing. We still talked about how great our experience was so we will definitely come back.

It didn’t have an iron and we also noted abit of dog hairs but it was already mentioned in the pamphlet in the cabin so thats fine because we’ve got fogs of our own.

I loved the location. Far enough out of Taupo township to pop into if required. I love to walk with my dog. We were across the road from the lake and there was also a river walk. Owners have four dogs that were extremely well behaved and did not annoy my girl or my girl annoy their dogs. I traveled to Turangi and Taumaranui which is a perfect traveling distance. I will stay again in the future. The room I stayed in was luxurious for the price I paid. The most comfortable bed and bedding. Great unit layout and cooking facilities. Indulged in a bit of Netflix. I had a great stay. Should be a better name for Hosts as these people are exceptional and will go that extra mile for you if you need them to. I appreciate them, their little shop, and the services they provide.

There is nothing that I did not like. I knew it was beside a busy road so if the road noise disturbs you that is by one's choice and not the location of the motel. I am a very light sleeper and I managed perfectly.

We stayed 1 night, 4 people 1 child, and was amazing when we arrived. There is a shop on site where you can buy pretty much anything. Yes, the rooms are small, but honestly, it wasn't a problem at all for us. Beds are so comfortable and loved the extra bedding available. Yes, it's about 15 mins from taupo City, but it wasn't a problem for us at all, so we definitely would come back. The staff were great . Also loved all the lights in the carpark at night very pretty 😍

Everything was great 👍

Comfy beds, friendly staff, decent location for Taupo and the mountain, value for money, kitchen units well stocked

Single bed in the living area - would have preferred a sofa to make it a living space. Other units had this set up but not ours.

Location was what we were looking for, out of town. Close to where we wanted to fly fish. Lovely lady in the shop attached, friendly and helpful Small unit, was cosy and warm though. Had everything we needed for one night Bed was nice and firm Good hot shower with good pressure Plenty of towels

A blind or curtain in the kitchenette would have been good

Debbie was so lovely to deal with. Our arrival was delayed and she accommodated us arriving in the wee hours of the morning. Rooms were compact but had everything we needed for a short stay. We really appreciated that our 3 dogs could stay with us. She also allowed a late check-out so we could get some sleep! The shower pressure was absolutely awesome for tired muscles and rinsing long hair. Loved her 4 beautiful dogs too. A genuine down-to-earth Kiwi motel and we would definitely stay again. Hopefully the Motel stays busy to allow them to continue the upgrades.

Nice accomodating staff, nice clean rooms, little shop onsite, kid and family friendly overall just really great :-)

Nothing that i really didnt like other than The room was slightly smaller than the photos showed but was still nice and cozy and for the price it was perfect.

Was very clean and comfortable. Perfect for a couple with or without children. You had everything you needed after a long day of traveling. Was very handy to have a general store on site as it was out of the main town.

Probably the trucks on the main road if I had to say anything. But not a deal breaker when you are tired.😊

Arrived at the motel. Greeted by lovely lady at reception and owner. Both gave really good recommendations for dinner based on our needs etc. Great value for money, had everything we needed. Lovely and warm. Close to main raod, but didn't hear anything. Not a brand new unit, but it has been renovation lovely and clean and warm :). Definitely return again.
