This motel is situated on the lake front, with pleasant views across Lake Taupo. If the weather is good, these views can be enjoyed from the pool or hot tub that are free for all guests to use. This was a fantastic feature that I took full advantage of! The rooms themselves are large and comfortable and come with a... More

We stayed in the three bedroom apartment for four nights and were disappointed when we arrived. The kitchen smelt and the floor was sticky. The place just didn't feel very clean. The apartment is spacious but is tired and needs to be modernised. The apartment was serviced daily but whoever made the beds just threw the duvet cover over the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights for a family reunion of sorts. We had one of the downstairs rooms near the pool, and very much enjoyed it. We have two small children, and they LOVED the pools and trampoline. They have a "adult" (or big kid) pool; a small kids pool and a gorgeous spa. The spa/hot tub looks over... More

Loved the location right on the lakefront, the kids loved the trampoline and pool. BBQ deck is very nice for lounging or having a party! The villas are very spacious and clean and well taken care of. Kitchen facilities are more than ample and the staff is very friendly and service is great. 5 minute drive from downtown Taupo. Highly... More

The pool side unit was much more than I had expected - very roomy - 2 bedrooms which made it perfect for the family. Fully equipped kitchen and everything clean and modern - great shower. Nice spot next to the pool too. Have also stayed in the upstairs 'premium' rooms and have to say was much more impressed with the... More

Situated almost a mile south of Taupo town and set back off the main road to Turangi, this is a nicely presented motel with mature garden plants and a central swimming pool/hot pool zone. Our ground floor apartment had a verandah that led directly to this pool and garden area. The accommodation was good and spacious with cooking facilities including... More

Stayed three nights in January with a cooked breakfast as part of the deal. Found it to be good value with everything clean and tidy. Had view of lake from ground floor unit which had a separate bedroom. Cooked breakfast delivered to room, piping hot. Will definitely stay here on future visits to Taupo

We were only travelling through Taupo for the night but choose this motel due the pool and complex layout which was great. Travelled with a one year old and did not appreciate being charged the extra person fee for a baby who slept in the small double bed with us. No offer of a port a cot and I assumed... More

First impression were favourable with good sized rooms, and a good layout to the complex. The receptionist was friendly, however I had some concern with the two dogs roaming the premises. The garden area enclosed by the motel is not kid secure so families with young children need to be mindful of wandering children. My biggest gripe was the lack... More
