Lovely view. Friendly helpful staff. Handy to have a room to lock away our bike. Parking is very tight. We were unable to use our allocated park on the third night due to the other cars.

Small issues. Nothing major. Comfy room
The stay was absolutely fine. Great view of the lake. The only real issue was the multibox was too flimsy for my charger, and a face towel from a previous guest was left in the shower
We been to spend a night and found room with full of mosquitoes on the ceiling, die mosquitoes on the bed/pillows. Bathroom wall is full of mosquitoes. Terrible experience. It`s worst ever room I have been too. Very Very low standards. I reached Taupo late night and have no options to change it. I have to wake full night to look after kids that mosquitoes not bit them around.
This should has to report to local Council to look into the hygiene standards of this Inn. Never ever recommend anyone to stay here.

Our room was situated right behind a bar and restaurant that stayed open till midnight and was extremely noisy till late into the night.
When I approached the motel manager he was rude and accused me of moaning about things as if it was something you should just put up with paying well over $200 per night
Do not stay there

Was ok for our need, I.e. one night stay to break our journey but wouldn’t have liked to stay any longer!
Basic accommodation but adequate for our needs. Dedicated parking space. Perfect location on the lake front. Extra bed in every room. Friendly staff on reception. Allowed a late check out which was great.

There is a laundry but NO INSTRUCTIONS Re how to use the washing machine and the power plug wasn’t working!!!
The floors and beds had dead insects on them. There was a duck / bird poo on the floor in the middle of the room.
The cups weren't cleaned properly and no replacement face cloths.
I wont be staying there again
The room condition was very poor and poorly maintained. There was evidence of mould and an effluent leak in the sewerage on to the bathroom floor. Requires inspection by booking sites.
