Guest Reviews
- Josephine (8/5): Good facilities nice and clean very warm - Clean and tidy No remote for the tv in the bedroom only the sky remote couldn’t turn the tv on.
- Juan (8/5): -
- Helen (8/5): -
- Lotta (10/5): - It was so clean. An older motel but so well cared for.
- Diane (10/5): -
- Josie (4/5): Update Me - The sheets were clean. The tv was going after few attempts.kitchenette tidy Spa bath looked old, looked like the filter never been clean. The place has had nothing updated since 2014 when we were first there. Window cills had not been dusted, dead flies on it.I asked girl at front desk if there was any milk, she didnt understand what i was saying. Even when i asked for towels, , she stood there stunned.
- Edwina (8/5): -
- Shelley (7/5): Spacious studio, clean an comfortable - Chose motel as a one night stopover only on the way home on a road trip.
Able to sort out getting key easily as we were arriving late. Comfortable and spacious enough for the amount of time we were there. Facilities such as toaster etc for breakfast but no sink with bench and had to get water from the bathroom sink. Would be difficult to wash dishes etc if staying longer
- Ian (9/5): - N/AWas mgreat
- neville (8/5): - All good
- Tony (7/5): Pleasant - Handy to everything A lot of road noise needs double glazing. Continually heavy transportation climbing the hill or braking coming down, night and day
- Peter (8/5): Very good stay - All good
- Jamee (10/5): Great place to stay at! - Everything except the price. The price for one night could have have come down 15-20% at least, as I was a solo traveller and didn't need a family room. But in saying all that, I would come back with my small family next time.
- Ray (10/5): - Very comfortable bed and good shoer pressure
- Sharon (8/5): -
- Ken & Roma (7/5): Good stopover on way to Wellington. - Convenient and good communications from staff Smaller than expected
- Alastair (9/5): Lovely stopover - Friendly staff. Lovely clean room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed.
- Duncan (7/5): -
- mike (6/5): -
- Linda (7/5): Thank you, clean and good value for money - Soft beds were so comfy, water pressure was good and hot Remove dead pot plants from outside
- Sydney (9/5): Lovely stay. - Room was immaculate,toilet and shower area was very clean. Bed felt fresh and comfy. Staff were wonderful.
- Sherene (10/5): Was good - Very clean
- Jane (9/5): -
- Joyce (7/5): - Too much Perfumed air freshener. It made the place smell cheap.
- Alison (6/5): Its all about the availability and good value. - Location and easy to find. Fast food in town. Nothing
- Kirsty (9/5): Clean and a good sleep - It was clean and comfortable, perfect for an overnight stop after the ferry from Pictor
- Sue (7/5): We needed a stopover and this was reasonably comfy and well set up. Staff were very helpful. - The staff were helpful and the location was handy. There was an ironing board and an iron in the cupboard, which was very useful. TV was nice and simple to operate. The mattress was comfortable enough, but very sensitive to any movement, so every time one of us shifted even slightly, the other was disturbed. The otherwise lovely walk-in shower sent some of its water along the floor, which resulted in a soaked bathmat. Neither of these a huge deal, but a bit annoying.
- Richard (8/5): -
- Jan Cornelis (6/5): Was gelukkig een tussenstop - Tja. De ligging nabij een drukke spoorlijn met nachtelijk goederen verkeer
- Francesca (8/5): - Good tidy little motel, perfect for an overnight stay
- Guest (7/5): -
- YONG SENG (8/5): - Clean and comfortable beds.
- Mike (8/5): nice and handy to town and very clean - Easy to find and very quaint If you have a Motel, it is the bed that ultimately sells the room, and a worn out uncomfortable bed is always remembered. Dare I say more !
- Wayne (7/5): Happy to stay for one night - The motel was easy to find it was right at the very end of Taihape on the northern end A little old and tired but it served a purpose
- Celine (8/5): - Comfortable bed, provision of crockery, cutlery, microwave. Easy highway stop - relatively quiet. Very helpful and friendly management.
- Diane (7/5): - Friendly staff. Clean linen Colour scheme a little dark and cleaning agent smell on opening the door for the first time.
- JP (9/5): Prima motel! - Mooie kamer, heerlijke spa, vriendelijk personeel Langs een drukke weg met zwaar vrachtverkeer s nachts
- Ron (9/5): - Hot water High pressure shower . Bed was pretty comfortable. Not much of a kitchen area No kitchen area like a bench to put your jug on
- JP (9/5): Prima verblijf in Taihape! - Zeer vriendelijk personeel, flexibel, behulpzaam. Mooie kamers met veel voorzieningen Het weer...
- Tremaine (6/5): Our stay was brief, and was adequate for a night stopover. - It was clean, and had all we needed. It was very noisy, with traffic all night being on main highway.
- Lawrence (7/5): - Easy place to crash for the night
- Apel (9/5): Helpful staff, great unit (7) for wheelchair users. - Location was a bit noisy but I knew that it would be like that anyway. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean. The shingle in the carparking area was very difficult to move about in my wheelchair.
- Apel (9/5): I'm staying here again in a few days on my way home. - Immaculately clean, accessible room. Great bed. Lily was helpful. Communication was very easy. I struggled with my wheelchair when it came to moving about on the shingle in the parking area. I knew the motel was close to the main road and the rail way but it didn't bother me.
- HILDE (10/5): great halfway point to our destination, all we needed to rest up for the night, comfy, clean,warm -
- Jane (6/5): It was all ok, thank you - n/a It would be good to have a small kitchenette if the motel is renovated at some point.
- Phil (8/5): -
- Robyn (9/5): -
- peter (1/5): One night is far too long - I found the property to be ancient and the owner/receptionist actually rude. But i have learned something that being I will never go back there and inform all who ask to give it a big miss.I There is not much to like with this "motel"
- Gordon (4/5): Fair - As we were arriving late on a cold wet night turning a light and a heater on would be nice Asabove
- Louise (8/5): - A comfortable overnight en-route from Wellington to Rotorua. Motel is older but everything very clean and well presented. Not for light sleepers due to road noise but ear plugs sorted that for me.
- MikeMurphy (9/5): Compared to other accommodation in Taihape, we found this motel to be the best. -
- Valda (7/5): Okay - We did not like the fact that there was no one at reception on arrival. Also a spa was advertised and we could not find it.
- Fay (10/5): -
- Ross (9/5): -
- Price (9/5): Affordable, one of the better options in Taihapi. - Nice, comfortable beds, good shower pressure. We came in from the mountain and the room was cold. Otherwise fine.
- Amy (10/5): 🥰 - When we arrived they had the heater on so it was nice and warm That i couldnt stay longer
- Alan (8/5): -
- Wilson (10/5): -
- Bruce (8/5): Good stay. Warm - Convenient and very adequate. Less noise but that's obvious when you see that it is on state highway.
- Joanne (8/5): - Clean and comfortable and no bad odours. Delightful little room. Cozy with the heater. Little hard to fill the kettle from the bathroom sink. But nothing a cup or glass to tip water in wouldn’t solve. Bit of traffic noise, understandable as on main road, but not enough to keep us awake.
- Lucy (9/5): Superb - Lovely and clean , big props to the cleaners couldn't fault the cleanliness. Lovely staff , heater was on in room before our arrival. Great value for money basic but perfect for our needs . Shower was the best shower I've had this trip pressure was fantastic! Little bit noisy but to be expected

- Jim (8/5): Very good - Clean and comfortable. Had full sky TV programming
- Gaylene (10/5): Exceptional - Was awesome stay, didn't even no i had family there in Taihape I like everything
- Mel (8/5): A cosy place to go to unwind after a long day - We stayed to attend a tangihanga at our local Marae, knowing that we would be there all day, we returned each evening to a cosy and warm room... the little things was meaningful after a long 5 days. Thank you!! It is a little outdated but was very comfortable for our needs. Had a great sleep!!
