Visited here March2023 Average place, plenty of parking, spa pool was lovely to enjoy and relax in. The room could however do with a paint and makeover. The office lady was welcoming when we arrived and no other issues.

Clean motel with helpful, friendly staff. Room was quite dated though and the heating/ventilation could do with upgrading.

The mineral pool is great but you can't get into the shower if you are on crutches and the whole place is a bit threadbear

Our ferry was delayed so wasnt going to make it back to Taupo in time to check in by 8pm. Rang reception to let them know and they had our room ready with the heater on for us when we got there at 9.30pm. We were really impressed.

This is not as advertised. We had the misfortune of staying in Room 9. The deck was covered in paint and rotten to the point of dangerous. The spa was empty except building detritus and covered with rotten and swollen ply. Not the "private patio" as advertised. The room had a smell of damp, probably from the swollen and rotten wood around the sink and units and this stench permeated the beds and seats. You could hear everything from the rooms on either side and above. We spent our time out of the room, only using it to try and get some sleep on the uncomfortable beds. The management were unresponsive and unhelpful. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Place was really dirty black long hair everywhere in the bathroom blood on duvets and so much dust no mattress protectors on the beds. Found bugs in kitchen drawers. Shower has a very high step in was told there were no cleaner on the to days we stayed. Found out later our first night the the place is emergency housing and all the first floor holds them and the noise was unbearable.
