Have stayed here several times over the past few years and still believe it is one of the best motels (from all points of view) in NZ. Taihape is an ideal stopping point between Auckland and the ferry.

Hello Grae E and thank you very much for your really nice comments about our complex. Once again it is always nice to have repeat customers saying nice things about us, thank you. We also own and operate Aspen Court Motel Kaikoura and Aoraki Court Motel Mt Cook Village, both of which we believe are even better than Aspen Court... More

Did not pre-book so went by outside condition of the Motel alone. What a surprise, reasonably priced for 3 people with a very roomy, clean and well appointed motel unit, complete with spa bath. Although reception staff were 'house sitting' they were very honest and helpful. The recommended restaurant within walking distance was cheerful and served good, basic and reasonably... More

Thanks Lesley B for your review. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and it is always reassuring when people leave they feel extremely satisified with their experience. Sharon our relieving manager is great isn't she? We hope to see you again one day soon in the not too distant future. Thank you. More

Excellent motel in Taihape in the midst of glorious countryside. Ideal stopover en route Taupo to Wellington. This is a modern motel and the bed is comfortable (our room had a double and single) plus good lighting, desk, table, chairs and walk in shower. Only problem is a tiny tv but that is being changed soon. Breakfast was ok but... More

Thank you Maturity for your positive review of our motel. We too think Taihape is an excellent place to stop for a break between Taupo and Wellington, there is so much to see and do in the region. New 32 inch TV's are arriving at the end of this month so that will be good to get them in place.... More

This was the third time we've stayed at Aspen Court and it never disappoints. Spacious, sparkling clean, friendly hosts and excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back and have been recommending it to friends as a great place to break the trip north.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The rooms were excellent - spacious, comfortable and clean and set in lovely grounds. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff who were friendly and helpful. We liked the free internet access, too. And we loved the spa pool!

Stopped here the Thursday night before Easter having driven from Whangarei on my way to Wellington. I was very pleasantly surprised. The room was huge, spotlessly clean and quiet. Loved how quiet the doors were to open and close too as I left really early the next morning and was worried about waking neighbours. The entire complex was full and... More

We stopped overnight on our way south and found the welcome very pleasant, the unit clean and tidy. Plenty of space to spread and breakfast arrived on time and in a good state.

This was recommended by a Kiwi couple we met on hols & it turned out to be very comfortable. There was a bit of traffic noise but it didn't stop us sleeping. Very good facilities and good shower in modern bathroom. Very reasonably priced.

Thank you Barbara G for your review. It is nice to hear you were reccommended our motel complex AND left happy with the experience. Yes the road does get noisy at times but we have done our best to reduce its influence on our guests with noise glass and extra insulation. Happy travels in New Zealand. More
