Guest Reviews

• GRAEME (8/5): Convenient place - short walk to restaurants and lake. - Great location. Access to laundry was an added bonus. Nothing - all good.
• Flora (9/5): - Colin & Lisa, and Debbie, you are the best❤️, very friendly and sweet, my family and I feel at home stay at Little Heaven.
• Marcia (10/5): Lovely - Very friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable bed. The unit had all we required for our stay and was very clean. Nothing
• alex (9/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Great location, exceptionally clean and tidy highly recommend - Exceptionally clean, lady form reception turned on the heat pump and our room was beautiful and warm, nice added touch to have an electric blanket and exceptionally clean linen, very modern and great value for money, walking distance to all amenities Would definitely recommend N/A
• yongjun (10/5): - 性价比很高，房子很大，东西齐全，离湖边很近，非常安静，推荐
• Chloe (10/5): - This place really surprised us, it was lovely. My kids loved the little wooden playhouse and trampoline and the rooms seemed modern and well equipped. The person who greeted us was really friendly and we really appreciated the little bottle of milk we were given. Free use of the laundry room was fantastic!
• David (8/5): -
• Robyn (10/5): Had a great stay! -
• Lifeng (7/5): -
• Sotaro (9/5): Will definitely return - We were greeted by a friendly staff. Dedicated car parks in front of the units with plenty of space, which was great since we were driving a rental. The kids went straight to the trampoline and other play areas, they loved it. The room was spacious enough for a family of 4. Walking distance to the lake front and the town centre. We actually didn't drive between check-in and check-out. Nice quiet area :) Everything was clean except for a little cob web hanging down from the ceiling. The water pressure for the shower was low, but probably nothing they can do about it. Wifi was patchy from the bedroom.
• Tiffany (9/5): - Excellent communication, very clean room with comfortable beds. Arrived late and left early, easily accessible location for driving down country.
• FLEUR (10/5): Packed with stuff to do. - Lovely staff who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Great facilities for teenagers!
• Kristine Marie (9/5): excellent - Homey Wish there was more pillows
• Greg (10/5): Taupo gem. - Older motel, beautifully refurbished. We had unit 10 which is upstairs and has great views. Much better than Street appeal would suggest. No fan in the bathroom.
• Maizie (10/5): - I love the room and cleanliness and standards
• Chris (9/5): -
• Tetsuaki (10/5): ちっとした天国 - ニュージーランドでは珍しく卓球台があり、楽しむことができた。 スタッフはフレンドリーで、とてもよかった。
• Megan (9/5): - My kids loved the playground and games room. The modern units were spacious and warm. Highly recommend.
• Sharon (10/5): - We loved our newly renovated rooms and the playground with tramp etc was great for kids. . That the outdoor pool wasn't heated.
• Lisa (8/5): Very happy with our little wee escape weekend. - Little Haven was great location and value for money. First time my husband raved about a bed. Normally hotel/motel beds give him a back back! Best sleep in a while. Nothing, great place to stay
• Len (10/5): Great place to stay at Taupo - The location of the motel was perfect for our needs. ( Taupo Motorsport Park ) The room was extremely clean and well set out. Great people working at motel. Will definitely stay here again some time. The only complaint was having to leave for home 2 days early due to the approaching cyclone. ( cyclone VAIANU ) Cannot blame the motel for that.
• Donna (5/5): Plenty space to unwind - The room was well appointed with a few extras that was great to have., robe hooks in bathroom, good size mirrors. Good supplied kitchen and nice knee rug on couch. Easter eggs gift was and extra bonus. Nil
• Lee-Anne (9/5): -
• Chris (10/5): - Great for kids!
• Kirsty (10/5): -
• Anne (10/5): A warm welcome and great stay - Great location, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped.
• Teresa (10/5): -
• Karyn (9/5): - Lovely room, everything you need for your stay.
• Priscilla (10/5): It was nice, very clean and a spacious place with plenty of amenities. They also provided large pool towels! The staff w - Clean, above and beyond helpful staff, spacious and loved having outdoor eating area. We travelled with kids who enjoyed the play equipment and pool. Nothing
• A Orfao (10/5): Great location, quiet and a beautiful room - A friend and I stayed in room 6. It was well laid out, quiet, very clean and had everything you need. In the main area as you enter there is a double bed, small kitchen, comfortable chairs in front of a TV and a dining table with chairs. The bathroom has towels, special face cloths for makeup, sufficient toiletries & a hairdryer. The shower pressure & temperature was great & the shower didn't leak at all. There is another bedroom with 2 single beds, a large mirror against the wall & a clothing rail. The room has blinds and dark curtains, so you can sleep comfortably without excess light bothering you. The beds are very comfortable too! We didn't get to use the pool/ spa bath in the motel, but we did use the laundry area (very helpful to have laundry where you stay). The place was great, the only thing I would suggest is moving the large mirror in the bedroom with the 2 single beds to another spot, as it's a bit strange having a mirror against the bed. Also if you're trying to do your make- up then you would need to sit on the bed in front of the mirror to do that.
• Lauren (10/5): - Great location, very tidy little unit with comfortable space for our family
• natasha (9/5): -
• Jochen (9/5): - Sehr freundlicher Empfang durch den Rezeptionisten. Gute Lage, nah zum Zentrum und zum See. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr sauber.

• James (8/5): -
• kim (10/5): -
• White-Parsons (10/5): - Perfect accommodation for family of 4 with a teenager and pre-teen. Great facilities, pool, hottub and games room. With the pool towels a welcome addition. Lovely staff and so helpful. Great price for a very busy weekend in Taupo. That we couldn't stay longer!
• Chris (10/5): - Great motel, very comfortable
• Sheryll (10/5): A brief stop to break the journey home, but would suit a much longer stay with family. - The upgrades are wonderful, great location, close to town. We weren’t a family, but the pool and playground looked great. Would definitely suit a family stay. -
• LINDA (10/5): We had two rooms so I have already reviewed it. Excellent motel! Please see under "Linda" -
• LINDA (10/5): Very comfortable, spacious rooms and easy access to road - The very nice man at reception gave us lovely rooms, actually an upgrade I think because of some construction taking place on the roof of the main building. It was extremely comfortable. He also was able to answer our questions and guide us to the places we wanted to visit. Everything was very nice. No suggestions to improve.
• Glenn (10/5): -
• Chris (9/5): - Very neat and quite lots of room and very friendly staff A little bit out of the cbd

• Eve (8/5): -
• Rachel (9/5): Brilliant - one of the best motels I’ve stayed in. - It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable- lovely furnishings and well equipped. Location was excellent- several places to eat nearby and close to the lake. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we return to Taupō. Only slight inconvenience was low water pressure on the shower.
• Lechner (9/5): -
• Gavin (8/5): -

• Hilary (9/5): Perfect for enjoying Lake Taupo - A spacious unit with everything we needed for self catering. We used the pool once and it was enough for a dip though small. The motel is within walking distance of the lake and the town. Nothing. Everything was provided
• Anne Marie (8/5): - Staff was very friendly, facility was very clean, our room had been recently renovated. Well-equipped. It's great that the guests are provided with free laundry facilities. Our room was comfortable. Laundry facilities only open from 9 to 8. Due to our travel requirements (as well as the need to have dinner), we weren't able to use them. Perhaps they could be open from 9 to 9?

• Juanos (8/5): - Nice and quiet, friendly staff and good base for our holiday. Bedrooms a little bit dated and bare bones, although owners advised rennovations were underway and bathroom had recently been modernised. TV in the main bedroom would have been nice.

I will come back again and recommend it to my friends. NA. I can smell cigarette smoke coming from the heater when it is turned on. It may be from previous guests. The room itself is smoke-free and clean, with no lingering smoking smell.
• Loes (7/5): Goed motel, vriendelijk! - Vriendelijkheid van eigenaresse. Vlakbij centrum. Auto parkeren bij het verblijf. Badkamer had fijne voorzieningen en ruimte voor toiletspullen. Klein bed, oude TV zonder Netflix opties. Heel klein terras met maar één stoel.
