I was delighted with an upgrade to a lake view room. The bed was very comfortable. The lift was close to my room and was noisy, but fortunately not too late. I bought food in town for my meal at a wonderful cafe - Kefi, Horomatangi Street, Taupo. Highly recommended.

View from room is oki, but the room was smelly when i checked it, i informed the Receptionist and she just said “ look like some one cooked a meal”. That is not a good answer, as people checked out at 10 am. If they cleaned the room, they must smell it. This motel has a good view, but the property is old and dirty
