The hosts, Colin and Lisa go all out to help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. You only have to ask for advice or recommendations about anything local, food, activities or entertainment, and they have the answer! Nothing is too much trouble. Walking distance to town centre, yet quiet and relaxing

We stayed in a 2 bedroom family suite for 3 nights and would highly recommend this place for families. The room was exactly like the photos and it was very spacious for our family of 4. The entire place was extremely clean and warm and the electric blankets made our stay even more comfortable. Location was convenient only 2km from town yet far enough from all the traffic and noise on the lake front. There is also a 4 square directly opposite. The wifi quality was great and never dropped out even though all the rooms were full. Having almost all sky channels available were very handy for a wind down period, and to keep the kids entertained. The playground is close enough to keep an eye on the kids yet far enough to get them out of your hair. The spa is available to book to ensure some privacy and the laundry facilities were free to use. Customer service was great, Colin was very helpful from the moment we arrived and the cleaning ladies would check in to see if we needed anything. All in all it was a home away from home and we can't wait to return.

What a great place to stay! There's a lot of choice in Taupo, but we were very happy with ours to stay at 52 Rifle. Upon checking in, we were given an upgrade, which made our trip. Our accommodation was clean and roomy and had everything we needed. The location was great too - a 10 minute walk int town, but across the road is a great little supermarket, cafe, butchers and takeaway.

Colin and Lisa were great hosts and full of local tips and knowledge. The rooms were perfect, neat, tidy and ever so comfy! Great size rooms and beautiful new bathroom. Close to the lake and to the town centre. Great little cafe across the road. Absolute perfection, I highly recommend this beautiful motel.

After having to alter our booking, reducing the number of people staying, and the length of stay, we were super impressed with the service and flexibility shown by the management of 52 on Rifle. This motel is ideally located and is also ideal for families. We didn't use the pool table, the table tennis table, the spa, or the kids play area, but only because we retirees and were there to play golf ;-) All the usual positives you'd hope for - cleanliness, space, etc. We actually felt it was a very "homely" motel.

We really enjoyed our stay, we got a reasonable rate at this older style hotel. Don’t let that put you off as it has had lots of renovations, we stayed in a 2 bedroom unit and it was clean and comfortable and as the hotel is off the main road it was lovely and quiet and we had a great sleep. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, overall great job.

Great value, very comfortable and spacious. Very neat and clean, newly renovated which made it a very pleasant stay. Would go back there again with the family. So close to Restaurants and shopping.

We found 52 really good value. It has a clean, fresh retro batch feel - and a friendly manager. Well laid out units maximise privacy and mean no one is looking out at a concrete block wall. Close to the Lake and only a couple of streets to the centre of town.
