Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They recommended activities in Taupo, good restaurants and breakfast places that were all amazing! They helped us with our skydiving reservation and went out of their way to make sure we could get our jump. Location is a few minutes walk away from the lakefront and the harbour can be reached in a 20~30 minutes very enjoyable walk. The room was extremely clean and well furnished. Beds included a heated mattress which was the cherry on top for our nights!

    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.
