We didn't find it anywhere near as bad as some of the reviews. We appreciated the close proximity to town, the room was a good size, the bed huge and importantly the room clean. The room was well priced for what it offered. If you want luxury pay more and enjoy. If you want a place to put your head... 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.
