What was unique, was in the private court yard was an ashtray, whether one smokes or not, this was unique. Not just a sand pit dish.
The unit was very clean, tidy and accommodated to our needs.
Nice place to relax after a travel.

We enjoyed a nice spa bath in our apartment. It might not be the most modern place but eventually was clean and in working condition.

Our room was very dated and tired looking, the facilities were clean but definitely overdue for an update. We loved the little courtyard out the back for our dog & while we couldn’t see the lake, access to it was literally down the path which was fantastic for your morning stroll. Great little motel, priced accordingly

Loved this property! Clean, and Tidy, with great communication with the managers/owners.
We were arriving late, so they turned the heat pump for it. Which was lovely gesture.

Staff were very friendly and the units were clean and serviced daily.
Central location with the lake being two minutes walk away and Taupo central less than 5mins drive.
We had a in-room spa which was a nice way to relax at the end of the day.
Would definitely recommend
