Comfortable motel on the lake front
A bit misleading stating Newly built when in actual fact it is an older motel that has been refurbished inside the rooms.
More attention to detail needed by housekeeping staff. Cobwebs and filthy iron

Location is absolutely ideal. Right on the water and walking distance to everything in Taupo. Our room and balcony overlooked the lake. Furnishings could use a little refresh.

Well appointed, very clean and everything you would ever need for a longer stay. Unit was very spacious and nice gardens. Staff were very welcoming. Located right on lake front but wasn’t bothered by any street noise.

Outdated in Taupo
This property was totally outdated, inside and out.
From the spiderweb covered exterior to the 1970’s sofas and carpets, the location is all this property has going for it.
