Very friendly and accommodating owner.

Booked the wrong unit online. Booked the 2bedrooms unit which can only comfortably sleep 5 but we have 6people. Ended up, we talked to the reception and they gladly changed our room to a unit that can sleep 6. 2queen beds and 2twin beds. Motel was very near town and amenities. So it's just walking distance and very convenient to food and shops.

Hotel near Lake Taupo

Pros: Nothing
Cons: This Hotel has too many issues to list in this review.
Location: Location of Hotel was fine and activities were close by and in walking distance.
The bathroom and WC facilities were poor with doors that didn't close and the general bathroom layout and standard of modern expectations were below an expected minimum standard for a Hotel that claims to have family facilities. Room wasn't properly serviced and no toilet paper are just some of the issues regarding this Hotel. Despite being given wifi access, the wifi failed to work for the whole stay. The swimming pool had defective perimeter drainage and the floor was flooded. Overall the family room requires and urgent upgrade to at least meet modern family requirements.

Convenient, very close to Town

Pros: Close to town, very obliging owner.
Cons: Storage in studio unit - there is no where to hang clothes up.
Location: Very close to shopping, restaurants and lakeside activities and easy distance to many others.
Very friendly and helpful owner/staff. However studio unit had no wardrobe to hang up anything, picture was propped up not hung on wall, heated pool was quite cool. This venue is work in progress which in time will improve even more.

Cleanliness is not their focus

Pros: The location was the only bonus
Cons: Put clean bedding on the bed, clean the bathroom, get rid of stained chairs, clean, clean, clean....
Hugely disappointed and would not go back. No latches on the windows so the wind blew through, double electric blanket on the bed but no socket to plug into on one side, shower had mould, toilet roll holder rusted, dining chair broken and stained, but worst was the stains on the bedding!!

Thanks for your comments and sorry you had such a bad experience here. We are focusing on cleanliness here which has been a major issue. We have new staff house-keeping and they are doing a good job. This involves cleaning all the bedding which wasn't always the case with the staff I inherited here. We have bought new towels, anything rusty in gone and replaced with new gear, the house-cleaners are cleaning away any mould and we as new owners are monitoring this. Also, sockets are all fixed now but we do have a lot of issues to improve and we are working on them. It has been a 'step by step' process.

not so great

'Heated' indoor pool was freezing. Bedroom wall had had water damage and it had just been fixed but a damp smell lingered. $290 was too much for this accomodation.
