Very friendly hosts, and very happy, the place is close to town and within walking distance of the township. We had no problems and enjoyed the stay apprt from the Tau8po rubbish collector arriving in the street below at about 6am this is something that unfortunately happens in a town and is beyond the control of anyone.

My second time stay - the new owner is friendly and helpful. Great location, nice and tidy. Some new furniture compared with last time. Nice and quiet> The hot water is very hot which is good. Will stay again for the great value! Highly recommended!

We stayed at this motel on 15th March 2013 for one night.

My biggest concerns relate to fire safety - NO SMOKE ALARMS, or fire extinguishers, There were no Guest Instructions detailing fire procedures and assembly points or... More

We stayed in the double room unit, the room is really nice, most importantly, the owner george helped us arrange a one day taupo trip, and we had a... More
