We were passing through Turangi while visiting the national park. This is a small town, the motel is a good place for a short stay. It is small but clean. It is quite as well. Receptionist is professional and courteous and helpful. We appreciate the tips he gave us.

Nice unit, location (if you don't need the inernet
A clean and comfortable unit located in a nice avenue close to the Turangi centre. The only problem was despite free wifi being connected it was next to impossible to get any streamed apps or even free to view channels and the internet in general. Have encountered this at other motels in the district so it's probably a regional issue but sure;y hosts can find a solution?

Great value in Turangi.
Just a one night stay but impressed with this small motel. Owners were great and happy to satisfy any requests. The grounds and units were very neat and tidy. Although an older motel, renovations have been completed on the bathroom while the rest is in great condition. It is in a quiet location only a short drive to the centre of town. Recommended......would stay again.

Bathroom had overpowering mold smell. Looks like everything was absolutely new but they put no barrier on the mold. Internet also could only log on with one phone. One phone could log on but kept getting bumped off, and both pads could not log on. Also roku could not see the web. I think rooms on the other side and closer to the office were probably ok.

Property was clean but very tired and in need of a refresh (pealing paint, marks, etc). Nothing to directly complain about or need immediate fixing, just a general feel that I expected better, and that only essential maintenance was being done. (But this was a similar quality standard in many of the other N.I. motels we stayed in during the trip). The host was very helpful. Acceptable night layover between Auckland and Wellington.

It was worth the money for a single night stay, I wouldn’t recommend this one for more than a night or if you can make it to Rotorua.
