- "We really loved staying we were happy with everything. We have stayed at a few motels at Taupo and this was the best one we stayed at." - "Stayed for two nights and were impressed by the accomodation and amenities. Loved having a fully equiped kitchen and laundry facilities! And that they replenished the laundry powder each daily, unlike many other places. The unit was spacious and the fold out bed in the lounge was perfect for what we needed. Great location to the lake and easy walk into town. Only negative if I had to have one was probably the transactional nature of check in and check out. No smile, not warm NZ welcome but that’s better than bad service any day. Would recommend."
