We will be back.
Pros:

The room had so many amenities. The full sized fridge was a plus.
Very clean and tidy facility. A great room with a comfy bed. We will be back.

Cons:

Reception on the weekend was open till 4pm. This wasn't communicated with us. It was a fluke that we came across a staff member off duty who let us in. An email or text to tell us reception was closed and how to get our key would have made all the difference.

Pros:

Nice recently built motel. Spacious room with cooking and washing facilities. Short stroll to all the shops, cafes and restaurants and lake front.

Cons:

Maybe restrict the volume on the TV as they back on to the beds in next room. Consider a sky sport subscription and remind people upstairs that their noise can travel through the floor to downstairs.

Pros:

Easy after hours check in

Cons:

The quest signage should be illuminated- drove past it 3 times before I found the place - at 11pm at night it’s quite dark on those side streets and if name was lit up on side of building we wills have found easier

Saved by the on-site Manager's quick thinking.
Pros:

We arrived in Taupō late and the reception was already closed. After ringing the doorbell, we were told our reservation couldn’t be found. Booking.com showed it as confirmed and paid, but their system had it cancelled — apparently because we cancelled one room, it somehow wiped the entire booking.

The onsite manager came down, checked everything, and got straight into action. Even though we were initially told the place was fully booked, he made a few calls and managed to sort us a room for the night.

The real win was what happened next — the team reassured us they’d “look after us,” and they actually delivered on that. By the next day, everything was sorted and we didn’t have to move at all. Huge relief, especially over Easter Friday when finding last-minute accommodation would’ve been a nightmare.

Aside from that hiccup, the stay itself was great — clean, well-maintained, and comfortable beds. Big credit to the staff for turning a stressful situation into a positive experience.

Cons:

Alls well, would stay again.

My stay was very enjoyable, the room was well worth the price
Pros:

I liked how the room had all the appliances (dishwasher, washing machine) I liked how large the shower was, and I liked how there were movies that were free to watch. I liked how the curtains were so good I didnt realise it was light out.
