Fresh milk and coffee making supplies were provided in the room. The private geothermal plunge pool was a unique and relaxing experience. The guest laundry facilities were convenient and clean. The location made it easy to walk along the shores of Lake Taupō.

The place was much bigger than expected and spacious. Great for us travellers with large luggages. Clean apartment with a good variety and quality of amenities provided. Check in was seamless - Michelle even let us drop our bags when we reached way before the check in time, and let us check in early so we could get to explore the rest of the town. Love the way the door is locked - so fuss free!! Facilities were good, there’s washing machine, induction stove with pots and pans, kitchenware and complimentary Nespresso capsules and coffee and tea. I also love their hot chocolate!!! (bloom) ☕️ Love that there is a backyard area which we can sun/dry off our clothes with the drying rack in the room. There’s also hair dryer, sufficient hangers, iron and ironing board and TV with YouTube connection. Parking space was very sufficient, great porch and quite near the beach (walking distance to the hot water beach and also to shops, restaurants and supermarkets) Overall great experience and would highly recommend this place to couples and families looking to stay in Taupo. Thanks Michelle for being a great host! 😇

All motels in Taupo

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

we didn't know when we booked about the roadworks on the road outside the motel, and were very happy the motel put us in a downstairs quiet room. Thank you!. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious and without the roadworks would have had access to the lake across the road. We didn't see the staff but were given the code for the box the get our room key, very covid friendly

Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.
