Everything was great, lovely Manager and room was great. Thank you.

Only one issue was parking, there was enough, one per unit but when it was full, it was difficult to turn car, but other than that everything was great.

Close to town and lake, had everything we needed. Enjoyed the spa bath, Netflix and cooking facilities.

Minor things like toilet seat was broken, not enough shampoo and conditioner and shower outside was dirty.

"Miss this hotel and the owner much much!"

10.0

Our stay in Taupo is one of the most memorable one throughout our 16 days journey in New Zealand. We like the spacious and cosy room and the location which is just opposite the lakeside and 5 minutes drive to the town centre. Should have stayed longer! The owner is very very friendly, resourceful and hospitable. His input and recommendations made our stop here and the rest of our journey even more fruitful and efficient. My family miss you so much, Anthony! And thank you very much for the little goodies and your suggestions. The breakfast at Dixie Browns, as suggested is yummy yummy. PS. Children say hi!

"Lovely relaxing place with spacious rooms & kitchenette. Kind owners."

9.0

On the lake shore, away from noise of downtown. Easy walk up the hill to Mole & Chicken restaurant recommended by owner.

If neighbours sit outside their rooms, you can hear everything in your room. I was in Room 2 and on the first night Room 1 held loud phone conversations right outside my door later in the evening

"Lovely motel on the lake side"

10.0

This motel is in a great location, right across the road from a beach on Lake Taupo. Comfy beds, and a lovely spa bath. Watch out if you have a big car, as the parking can be a bit tight. Despite being in the main road for the lake, the room was quiet and the sound of traffic did not disturb us at all.
