This place is conveniently located next to the lake and has a nice big bath, however for the price this was disappointing. The check in info never arrived (until we chased it up), it wasn’t clear that it was a contactless check in, the second bed was all springs, the pillows were like rocks, the room had an overpowering smell of potpourri and bleach and the walls were so thin I could hear someone snoring next door. Looks nice from the outside and clean enough, but would not recommend.

Very negative notes all over the place. There are positive ways to reinforce rules and regulations and ownership needs to learn them. Made the stay a negative experience which was sad for a lovely place with great staff. The place also needs a water pressure regulator. No water saving here and made the shower almost unusable and messy since the door didn't close.

Got there late at night and the locating the keys and settling down was easy. Bit of fus with the TV because there was no sound, but it just needed to be restarted. Getting confirmation of the booking was a bit of extra work to get in contact when working busy hours.

Having a room at the back of the property was great as it was quiet. Easy walking distance to town. The bed was OK, the pillows were very hard and there were only 2 hangers, a few more would have been better.

The property was clean and tidy, beds comfortable. The self check in proved to be a bit difficult at first with no clear instructions of holding down both switches to open the key lock, but got there in the end.

Nice motel, with a very convenient location. A little bit outdated condition, but overall good value for money. For my next visit to Taupo, this motel will be on the top of the list.

Will not use this motel again. It was very impersonal. We had know idea this was an eMotel until arrival. We opted to pay at property but our account was debited immediately. We were charged more than the quoted price. The electric jug, element for heating something to eat and the toast all on together and the fuse was tripped. There was no detergent, nothing to clean dishes between meals, no cloth for wiping down the table or kitchen sink. Had to leave dirty dishes behind. There was no fish slice to use with frying pan. Only one large saucepan, no others for cooking meal. One dessert spoon and a serving spoon. There was only one flannel for two people. The shower flooded the floor which meant if using the toilet you had water running around it.

I didnt understand the 4 star motel rating, in entry to the room I noticed the grubby carpet and wouldnt allow my grandchild on the floor. The pillows were way too hard, we couldnt utilise them and had to use the blankets instead. There was a pair of shoes left under the bed from the previous people, so it probably didnt get vacuumed under the bed before. However the manager Deon was lovely.
