    5CarolinePosted on: 1-22-2026

    The heated pool.

    The owner was so rude when we complained about the noise coming from his Nextdoor neighbours. “It’s not my problem.”The beds are SO uncomfortable.

    7LeenPosted on: 1-19-2026

    I liked the location and the view

    The beds were not comfortable at all especially the pull out beds

    9RochellePosted on: 1-19-2026

    Great property, well kept, clean, tidy and comfortable with everything you need. Pool and spa are great.

    In our room we didn’t have reception in the bedroom which meant no wifi which was a bit annoying, we haven’t had this issue previously (have stayed a few times) so must just be the room.

    10AlainePosted on: 1-11-2026

    This is our favourite Motel in Taupo, clean, comfortable and quiet with the greatest eating establishment across the road. Great pool options winter and summer. The rooms are well presented and spacious.

    10JoPosted on: 1-10-2026

    It’s quiet and clean with the pool right outside as we were lucky enough to be in a ground floor unit. A little bit away from the congestion of town but still with the lakefront across the road. Anchorage pools and spa are perfect temperatures.
