This place is a lovely, hidden away sanctuary. It was incredibly quiet and exactly what we needed for a relaxing break away from home. Don't expect anything flashy here, but they have absolutely nailed the basics. The kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated and had everything we needed, and the bed was super comfy. For our family of four, the Chalet layout was just perfect. Honestly, you cannot beat the price for this level of peace and comfort. We were really happy with our stay and would definitely return!

You get what you pay for. The room and surroundings look tired and in need of a makeover. The TV reception was poor. A positive is that the location was quiet.

It's different......in a good, unpretenious way. Works every time for me. Not as upmarket as the numerous 5 star accomodation places I've stayed at internationally, but it has a distinct "kiwiana" feel to it. Spacious, safe and quiet. My chalet unit was great......room to spread out. Everything was working fine. My accomodation of choice whenever I'm in Taupo. Good work guys.

The main building is of an era and a style!! The place is only staffed at certain times so make sure you have everything checked & sorted after you arrive. The motel building is further along and looks a fright from the outside lol - hard to tell style & design from plain old upkeep lol - potentially the architect went overboard on the exterior - but don't be put off. Our room was spotless, towels & beds beautifully made, fridge on and chilled and in a very much appreciated gesture the heat pump had been turned on to warm the room as despite it being summer it was a bit cold in Taupo. The room is basic and adequate, we charged phones, watched TV, heated food, for dinner, ate breakfast, made tea, refroze our chill packs overnight and our travel food went safely into the fridge. The shower was hot. Staff were courteous, communicative and when I mistakenly drove away with the key still my pocket were exceptionally helpful for me to get it back to them. Would I stay again? Yes. The name and imagery are incongruent and provide a smile, the inside is clean, nicely presented the basics are done well, and it's good for the price. We had room 206.

I felt unsafe when I pulled up at reception. The building was run down and looked awful. The units where I would have stayed looked ok from the outside I have to say but over the other side were some really run down units with rather off putting inhabitants. I went to another motel for the night.

This was my 2nd time staying here. All the staff were friendly and helpful, as were the neighbouring guests. The room was clean and tidy, although a bit tired but not a problem when the price reflects this. The Clay Target Shooting Club could start later on a Sunday morning out of respect for the guests of this normally tranquil place.

We stayed a few weeks ago. We booked for 2 nights and we shocked when we arrived at how run down the outside and surroundings was. As we drove down the bumpy gravel driveway around to the accommodation, I felt a little unsafe. The rooms were small but clean, however not a true representation of what we had seen on the website. The bathroom had no extractor fan (so smelt damp), water pooled in the bottom of the shower, the mirror was all corroded around the outside, the floor tiles were missing grouting and the paint all over the roof beams looked terrible. We tried to use the air con, but when we turned it on it smelt bad so turned off. TV in room was not great as signal kept cutting out. Feel it was overpriced for what it was. We were booked to stay another night a few days later on our return to Taupo however we cancelled and found an alternative resort.

The air conditioner was in the main room - two rooms and a hallway away from the bedroom, so the place stayed pretty hot. There was need for updating, and the walls are thin as we could hear the people in the rooms next to us going up their stairs to their twin bed loft area.

The actual property looks quite different to how the website and booking sites present it. The place is very run down with the sign falling off, looks abandoned on arrival and does not really deserve the name “grandeur” or “resort“. Reception area is quite rough and dirty looking despite the staff being friendly enough. The room on arrival smell wierd but seemed to air out over time. Sheets and beds were clean and nice but the couch was so old and stained we had to request a sheet to lay on top of it. The bathroom had been done up which was good and clean. Overall just seemed very run down for what we paid. The main issue, is it is not accurately presented on the websites.

Room although clean was sparsely equipped: no where to hang clothes. No light switches near bed. Had to fumble to find bed in dark after switching off light. Soap dispensers in bathroom empty. TV reception very poor with constant picture and sound failure. Grounds around hotel were extremely overgrown and unkempt. Derelict buildings scattered around. Needs a huge renovation project.
