Cleanliness is tops, bed very comfortable, compliments to the hosts and we shall return soon. ##### Goretti Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 23 Dec 2024 Would like shower gel in the shower. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Keith 30 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here before, its a good location for traveling the island between centers, just out of town. The downside is the volume of heavy trucks on the main road outside late at night. Reasonably priced and same standards as most other motels for the price. There is a good restaurant close by for dinner, good menue and a welcoming roaring fire, in winter. ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Beth 21 Jan 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities So close to main road traffic noise is constant through the night …… take ear plugs! Otherwise a very pleasant stay ##### Beth Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Raewyn and Stephen 2 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was clean ##### Raewyn and Stephen Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### David 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service By the side of the highway so take ear plugs! Cheap noisy plastic toilet seat. Good basic motel accommodation. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca 13 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The accommodation was OK, a bit dated but they added some new touches inside. However, I booked the room because there was a photo over “select this room” with a cooker in it. However, when we arrived there wasn’t one; only a microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. We phoned reception from the supermarket to ask about that as it’s not easy being a vegetarian in Taihape. The receptionist said we had booked one of two rooms with no cooker in it. When my husband told her about the photo, she said the Expedia photo was out of date. She maintained we hadn’t booked a room with a cooker in it. It looks like they may have updated the photo on the site, but too late for us. ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Davina 2 Aug 2024 Cosy a little tired ##### Davina Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ---
