Booked a room here as a stop over on the way home from Auckland Airport and called to book a late arrival, lovely woman at desk left key for us to find and the heater on which was great as we arrived just after midnight. We found the room to be very spacious and clean, bed was very comfy and... More

I must say I was put off staying in this motel when I read previous trip advisor reviews, however I decided to keep an open mind and try it for myself as it was very reasonably priced and well located. I'm glad I did as I was very pleasantly surprised. It sounds as though all rooms may not be fully... More

In NZ for 10 days and regrettably, 4 of these were spent here. Taupo a lovely place but this motel has more than seen its day. Old, worn out and tired. Carpets putrid. Hubby NEVER wears shoes inside but insisted the entire stay to wear thongs (flip flops) whilst inside. Shower revolting, requiring me to wear thongs also. Family room... More

First impression was okay but we were put off using the spa bath by a build up of hair in the plug hole. The basin had mould around the plug hole. There was an old TV on a bracket sticking out over the door entrance which is very dangerous.My wife got a nasty bang on the head when returning to... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and found it to be very comfortable, clean and tidy. There was a machine and a drier which was brilliant as we had stayed in hotels previously. Breakfast was basic but then you get what you paid for. There was a spa pool to use and free wifi which was great after a lot of... More

When we arrived, none of the main lights were working, there was mould growing in the fridge and around the shower cubicle, kitchen utensils were broken and crockery needed washing - generally there was a dirty...

This motel has been taken over by Quest, who should be ashamed to offer this to holiday makers through ANZCRO. Thankfully the managers upgraded us to the real Quest and we lived happily ever after. Courtney is old and tired and by the managers admission only suitable for workers from the mines, who only want a bed at night. The... More

i thought the courtney motel was a fine place to stay while in taupo. we were only there for a night and had been driving for several hours before arriving in taupo. the motel is easy to find and is very close to the lake. it is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk into the central business district but there is...

We have stayed at this motel on previous occaisions and enjoyed our stay. The motel is getting a little 'tired' and could do with a bit of a spruce up. Secure parking is outside units. The breakfasts were lovely and the office staff very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The units are minutes from the lake and easy walking to shops... More
