Our ferry was delayed so wasnt going to make it back to Taupo in time to check in by 8pm. Rang reception to let them know and they had our room ready with the heater on for us when we got there at 9.30pm. We were really impressed.

Contactless check-in and out felt impersonal and distant...but I guess that was the purpose. KTM is getting dated and tired, but nice to have a soak.

A budget motel that has become a bit aged, but still good value for money. We really enjoy the private mineral pool. It is located handily to the lake and to the township.

Staff at check-in was fab. Down to Earth and excellent customer service. Nice mineral pools. Rooms better then reviews. Downfall is housekeeping only provide a clean towels. Don’t take the rubbish etc, don’t service the rooms just pop a towel on the bed. Motel kitty is a absolute cutie and a bonus though :)

Nice motel that is clean and comfortable. Some of it is looking a bit old and worn, but I understand the new owners are in the process of sprucing it up.

An older motel complex with new owners who are working hard to upgrade. Been recently painted etc. Still some minor things to be refurbished. Love the mineral pool with our unit. Situated a way from CBD .
