What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

I booked this property for my mum who was travelling alone. She thoroughly enjoyed the room she was allocated. On arrival the room was warm and a light had been left on for her as she arrived late. The bed was comfortable and the staff took good care of her as she navigated getting backwards and forwards to the hospital.

Nice enough place, pitty about the price.

Checkin was a little long as the receptionist was on the phone when I arrived. Was given a 150-200ml bottle of milk to take to the room for coffee milk. Room was tidy and roomy, bed comfortable. I did have to unplug the clock radio to plugin my charger but otherwise all was good 👍. Nice shower in bathroom, great pressure. The only downside was the price which was +10% of the other motels around. Was a good 1 night stay for appointment at the Hospital.

The staff were very good and unobtrusive. The coffee and tea supplies weren't replenished daily which was a disappointment. The bed was remade which was a pleasant surprise

Clean, convenient to hospitals, noisy road but good double glazed soundproofing. Paved area at lower end of of northern first floor stairs unsafe - area 'dished' for stormwater drainage within about 20cm of bottom step - trip/fall hazard. Poor lighting in 'kitchen' area of our unit.
