I let them know I have a disability, and while I was given a downstairs room, it was a long way from the front door, and down a long hallway, right next to the laundry. There was no one to help carry bags, etc. The food was OK. The same fried food I would have had at home, but not done as nicely. The bed was had and there was no chair or other place to sit in the room. The view was a plastic pipe in a dirt garden! No lake in sight.

The accommodation is in a great area walkable to town or great walks in other direction. Lakefront. Room very clean, bedding/beds appeared very new. Warm. Great little hot tub - didn't have time to try the pool - but was heated. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Some room features a bit tired - but to be expected at this price-point. I can imagine downstairs rooms a bit noisy if upstairs rooms occupied. Would definately stay again.

Absolutely Lake side

Room was a tad small but good - had everything I needed. Great view from restaurant - right on the lake so perfect position. Lots of parking available but was there in the off season.

Friendly staff around the property. Good dining in the restaurant. Would be great if there was bed side lamps to have alittle light without having to keep the main light on. Would be very nice to have hooks in the bathroom to hang up towls after showering to allow for drying.

The town was awesome but the old building without proper renovation for a good night sleep is a terrible idea. We do not recommend staying here to relax.

Staff(one person only) was fantastic. Everything else was meh. The motel is still in the 80s but charging prices that are well into the 21st century. Our TV didn't work. No microwave. Mugs needed to be washed in the bathroom sink (yuk) etc.

Resturant was nice, food was really good, cosy friendly, helpful staff. Would have been good if the room had a nice big couch and tv in the lounge area for family time. Kind of a strange layout, it was a very cold day in taupo, but the room was surprisingly warm after turning on the small heaters provided. Larger milks for cuppas would have been nice.
