We stayed as a group of five in a 2-Bedroom Deluxe Apartment for two nights during our recent trip to Taupō. While the location was convenient and the apartment had been recently renovated—especially the bathrooms—we were a bit disappointed by a few issues. The master bed was broken, several lights weren't working, and the shower door in the master bathroom didn’t close properly, which caused flooding even with a short shower. That said, the maintenance staff were extremely friendly and responsive, doing their best to help us during our stay.

Carpets were stained. The mat by the front door was disgusting. The sofa bed was an insult to the price we paid. The blanket on the sofa bed was substandard. Very disappointed considering the location is perfect. Advertising is very misleading.

Comfortable motel on the lake front

A bit misleading stating Newly built when in actual fact it is an older motel that has been refurbished inside the rooms. More attention to detail needed by housekeeping staff. Cobwebs and filthy iron
