The advertisement for the Motel did not state that it is undergoing refurbishment. My suite was a little ‘tired’ and consequently I thought, expensive. The thermal pools have been completely rebuilt and are excellent. The Management opened them especially for me. Once complete, I think the refurbished Motel and Spa will be excellent.

A hidden gem in Taupo if wanting a place to stay that’s not expensive and flashy. Loved the individual thermal hot spa for each room. Greatly appreciated after a long day of driving. Great water pressure in shower. Only downside - no Skytv/Netflix.

The staff were very friendly. The downside was advertising guest laundry facilities and not being available. You were able to get valet laundry at a sizeable fee.
