The stay itself was a pleasure, but more than that, the exceptional, extremely friendly staff made this stay one we will never forget. Right from the start we were greeted so kindly and they even helped us get to the spa in Taupo. At this point, my mother and I would like to say thank you again! :) Taupo was a highlight of our New Zealand trip! :)

The apartment was on the second floor and we had a fantastic view of the lake. The furnishings were in very good condition and the kitchen was equipped with the essentials. Everything was very clean, the beds were excellent and it was quiet at night. The only time it was a bit noisy (this happened rarely and then not for long) was when the Briscooes company next to the motel was loading or unloading material. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They brought us a large cooking pot that was missing. We were also able to do our laundry at no extra cost.

We had the perfect little lodge house right on the beach of lake Taupo. Great to see the sunset and be in a tranquil spot. The property was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. Bron the host was very welcoming and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for the night.

Having stayed here on the 4/11/24, I was pleasantly reminded of a time when everyone whom greeted you, greeted you the way we were treated. With genuine, sincere, willingness. The rooms are immaculate. The view from the top floor....mesmerizing. The service....unparalleled and unrivaled. This is such a pleasant, relaxing, homely place to stay. Rarely have I felt the need to commend anyone before, but this place is quite literally stunning. I will DEFINITELY be returning to THIS astounding establishment. Peter is without a doubt one of the most helpful, sincere, genuine, typically "Kiwi" hosts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Well done sir.

A comfortable, well equipped motel unit, well located if you're travelling up or down the island. We appreciated the heat pump being turned on before our arrival on a bleak winter day.

We liked that we were shown to our room with a very friendly host and the features explained ie TV with good viewing options, electric blankets. Two places to sit outside & enjoy the view. Comfortable bed. Really clean. Good off-street parking. Nice location. Great lighting which you don't often get in motel rooms anymore.

Loved everything about this place. The nice lady at customer service was very helpful. She got us into a bigger room & at a cheaper rate too. We had the Tele & heat pump which really helped us Aucklanders get thru the night & we rested up well for our long trip to the Mt the next day. Thank you Camellia Courts for the exceptional service. We will definitely be coming back to your Motel next year😊

Location, cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, cost of the accommodation, easy parking (driveway isn't a mission for lowered cars). This was a repeat stay at this lovely motel, my friends booked their own rooms and loved the place also.
