The unit 12 we stayed in was just perfect. So clean, fresh and bright and location is handy to everything you need, with fantastic views of the Lake across the road. Wow and to top it all off the hot tub was awesome. And the Cleaner was so thorough professional and so awesome. Was such a lovely feeling coming back to a spotless unit. Gables you had the wow factor for us. And for that reason we will be back. As we love Taupo so much. It's a A+A+A+ 10/10
New ZealandSpotless, home made biscuits were nice gesture and delicious too, location was good and view was nice.
New ZealandPerfect for what we wanted, clean, home made cookies a nice touch. Freindly staff
New ZealandVery nice staffs, they are very helpful and friendly. The room is clean and tidy, very nice lake view and very close to the lake. Will definitely come back next time!
New ZealandStaff where so good. Had my stag do and we wer as quiet and respectfull as possible. Most the party stuff was done outside the hotel haha. Thank you team!!
New ZealandThis place was awesome! The accommodations in the unit exceeded my expectations, it was a suite with a kitchenette, not just a room. The furniture was comfortable and everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The staff was very pleasant and informative. The property fronts onto the magnificent beach across the street and other than a road, there are no facilities between this property and the beach, which is very scenic. We would have liked to stay there longer.
United States of AmericaNice, clean room, Big. Looks like a new bathroom and kitchen. Carpark right outside, one of the best motels I've stayed in to date.
