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.

The rooms were spacious and clean. My family stayed in Turangi Motel with 5 groups of family friends. We occupied 7 rooms altogether and it was amazing. The place was peaceful and relaxing. The management of the motel are very accommodating and friendly too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic motel - service, cleanliness, lovely room...everything. We needed a late check in and this was not a problem - heating had been turned on in the room (thank goodness), and very helpful staff everytime we rang about our changing checkin. Just brilliant.
