Loved it and really enjoyed the soak also the bed was very comfortable with extra blanket and pillow. Right on the lake front and beautiful views also had a lovely lady check us in and show us to our room. I also really enjoyed the biscuits in the room thank you so much for our stay. Highly recommend ##### Ariana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay oh too short but wonderful From the moment we arrived, prompt desk checkin and then shown to our room, explained how it all works including wifi etc and any problems to contact them. Motel was awesome, large sitting area although did find couch a bit rigid, dishwasher great news, bathroom had fluffy towels always a plus at a motel. Amazing location. across the road to lake, plenty in swimming, icecream and coffee cart right there. Idelic, amazing and definitely recommend . Even waved goodbye by hosts. Love the personal touch ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First time booking accommodation in the area as opposed to staying with friends. Easy, very friendly service. Expectations of the property and operation etc are straight forward and understandable. Property looks to have been renovated since original. In my opinion, sets a high standard for a motel accommodation. I booked the room with the spa and was very happy with my experience! ##### Luke Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No light or sun in the back ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### warren 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, clean room and great staff. Left a car parked for a few hours and when we returned to leave for home they came out and told me I’d left something in the room and gave it back to me. I’d happily stay again, thanks! ##### warren Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clemston 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent room.

The owners are lovely and accomodating. Lots of privacy and the spa was enjoyable! The room was spotless on arrival and the cleaners were respectful when approaching our room for a service. Everything was super clean, the only thing we noticed was the spa area had a smell to it. Outside only Other than that, thank you for having us! We’ll definitely be back. ##### Cypriss Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Koral 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities You'd be hard pressed finding another property with better value for money. The property itself is even better than the pictures, you're located right across the road from the beautiful lake with views of Mt Ruapehu, all amenities are easily accessible, the rooms are spacious, peaceful, clean and in excellent condition. We were lucky enough to have a room with a spa - perfect way to unwind and warm up. Best of all is the service - the two owners are the nicest, most thoughtful people. Prior to checking in they called to see when I'd arrive so they could preheat the room before I got there; the home baked shortbread was also a lovely added bonus! ![Early morning view of the lake](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54b51dd3-c400-479d-8474-241927359e9d-1753478038786.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Zoomed in picture of Mt Ruapehu](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77c295a5-4097-4e0d-a6d5-a29a57360f60-1753478037161.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Koral Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krabi-Hotels-Centara-Ao-Nang-Beach-Resort-Spa-Krabi.h35092745.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurosalou Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Eurosalou-Hotel-Spa.h1429470.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Life Phu Pano Krabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krabi-Hotels-Centra-By-Centara-Phu-Pano-Resort-Krabi.h16130321.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sainte-Maxime](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sainte-Maxime-Villas.d5883-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Kirkhouse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Kirkhouse-Inn.h4478298.Hotel-Information) > > [Charlemont Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Armagh-Hotels-Charlemont-Arms-Hotel.h8083378.Hotel-Information) > > [HEATED OUTDOOR POOL(SEASONAL) /LUXURY HOT TUB -SLEEPS 18 + 8 FAMILIES ONLY](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dursley-Hotels-Outdoor-Heated-Poolluxury-HOT-TUB-Sleeps-18-8.h25350750.Hotel-Information) > > [The Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnstaple-Hotels-The-Imperial-Hotel.h520223.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Ogmore-by-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ogmore-By-Sea-Cottages.d3000430234-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Cavalletto-E-Doge-Orseolo.h3575.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-West-End.h19288210.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from norman manley intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/kin/flights-from-norman-manley-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Kocasinan (ASR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/asr/manchester-to-kayseri) > > [Flights from Samedan (SMV) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/smv/lhr/st-moritz-to-london) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Copenhagen (CPH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/cph/bournemouth-to-copenhagen) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Bordeaux (BOD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bod/dublin-to-bordeaux) > > [Flights from Norwich (NWI) to Cardiff (CWL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nwi/cwl/norwich-to-cardiff) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sfo/mco/san-francisco-to-orlando) > > [Malaysia Airlines London (LHR) to Auckland (AKL) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/malaysia-airlines-from-heathrow-to-auckland-intl/mh/lhr/akl) > > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/nce/bristol-to-nice) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Biard (PIS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/pis/manchester-to-poitiers) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Port Blair (IXZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/del/ixz/delhi-to-port-blair) ### Activities > [Things to do in Imerovigli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Imerovigli.d6051972.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Metropolitan Museum of Art](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Metropolitan-Museum-Of-Art-Manhattan.d502071.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Saint-Cyprien](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Cyprien.dx6047803)
