Really nice motel across the street from the lake and easy walking distance to restaurants. We only used the kitchen space at breakfast, it seemed well equipped.

We felt welcomed. The parking was easy. The apartment had everything we needed except for washer. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The location has very nice surroundings. It is however not in the town centre which for us was an advantage.

I cannot begin to explain what a wonderful stay we had here. The place is in a privileged spot facing the beach and we were lucky enough to get one of the rooms facing the lake directly, which made us feel we had our own private beach. The owners are charming and very kind and we will never forget this place!

The place was much bigger than expected and spacious. Great for us travellers with large luggages. Clean apartment with a good variety and quality of amenities provided. Check in was seamless - Michelle even let us drop our bags when we reached way before the check in time, and let us check in early so we could get to explore the rest of the town. Love the way the door is locked - so fuss free!! Facilities were good, there’s washing machine, induction stove with pots and pans, kitchenware and complimentary Nespresso capsules and coffee and tea. I also love their hot chocolate!!! (bloom) ☕️ Love that there is a backyard area which we can sun/dry off our clothes with the drying rack in the room. There’s also hair dryer, sufficient hangers, iron and ironing board and TV with YouTube connection. Parking space was very sufficient, great porch and quite near the beach (walking distance to the hot water beach and also to shops, restaurants and supermarkets) Overall great experience and would highly recommend this place to couples and families looking to stay in Taupo. Thanks Michelle for being a great host! 😇

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.
