    Very friendly reception. Older accommodation but really comfortable. We would stay there again.The rooms were a great size. The bed was comfortable and warm. We had everything we needed.

    We were happy even though older.

    10KanellaPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Lovely owner. The homely feel, lovely rooms and being a trout town all of the memorabilia of that sort. And our dog was able to come. Good access into the accommodation and bathroom, kitchen etc for those less abled. Easy to find and parking right by our door.

    Wasn't long enough we just stayed one night, would've loved to have stayed longer.

    8KevinPosted on: 4-6-2025

    An older style motel, clean and comfortable. Great location. Excellent helpfull hosts.

    10TeresaPosted on: 3-16-2025

    Great location, very comfortable. Lovely close walks for our 2 little pups and close to the river for the "fisherman"!

    10JerushaPosted on: 3-1-2025

    Pip was amazing! Very informative and friendly, even lent us walking sticks for the hike up Tongariro and many tips, definitely would have struggled to finish without her help ?

    Comfortable but dated. Only 1 teaspoon, bed coverings could be replaced. OK for what we required

    8HannahPosted on: 2-16-2025

    Our stay for two nights was perfect. We all enjoyed the spacious room. Had everything you needed in the kitchen and other rooms. Basic but very pleasant. Was quite considering we were next to highway. Good location just down the road from township, easy to walk too. Had a great carport which we put the jetski in and still plenty areas to park the ute. Enjoyed it and will be back when we bring jetski up again to the lake! Staff are great too! My son loved their dog!

    No complaints ?

    Location was good.

    The large cockroach climbing the wall was terrible. The motel is old and needs a complete update. The TV was impossible to work on normal TV.

    Bathroom was pokey and fogged up even with windows wide open

    10WendyPosted on: 1-20-2025

    We loved our stay. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is great. The free use of a washing machine with free wash power was a great bonus. There is tea coffee sugar and oil for cooking in the apartment.

    No breakfast provided. Bed was too soft with lack of support in the middle.

    Bed not comfortable. Toilet bowl looked awful. Couch arm was in need of a good clean.

    10RebeccaPosted on: 1-7-2025

    The tramp for kids and room was like a mini lake bach

    Rubbish under bed

    8MikePosted on: 1-6-2025

    Older buildings, but clean, comfortable and well appointed. Good value for a larger group.

    8DamienPosted on: 12-28-2024

    Location is perfect for the Tongariro River.Separate lounge and dining area. Good kitchen and two separate bedrooms. Heat pump a bonus for cooling

    Didn't use the oven but oven door did not close properly

    8IrenePosted on: 12-8-2024

    Quiet, cosy. Good size for 3 pax. Easy access to highway.

    Old school motel. We switched off lights in the bathroom n toilet at night to discourage insects from coming.
