This property was outstanding! We throughly enjoyed our stay. The room was big, very clean and bed comfy. The thermal pools onsite were such a treat for us after we walked the Crossing. Highly recommended this property. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you to the staff for an outstanding property.

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.
