The building is by the lake but only can see limited view from the room . The room size is big although a bit dated. I had the best room there no complaints.

The motel is in a good location, right by Lake Taupo, with a nice sunset view. The hotel rooms are exquisite and compact, and are really small but well-equipped, with a small refrigerator, microwave, electric stove, etc. The car is parked right at the door of the room, which is very convenient. There are two shortcomings. First, there are too few electrical sockets, which seems to be a common problem in old hotels in New Zealand, with few sockets; second, the hygiene needs to be improved. The big spider web in the corner above the bed in our room has not been cleaned.

The room is upstairs and very spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, electric stove, pots and pans. It's a bit old, but it's no problem to cook a simple meal. It's very convenient to walk downstairs and reach Lake Taupo.

The location is great, right by the lake. The landlord was also very nice and upgraded our room right away. Check-out was at 10 o'clock, but we were more than an hour late and didn't mind!

The hotel is close to the lake. The owner is Chinese and very friendly. He upgraded the room so that you can directly see Lake Taupo and gave us milk. The facilities in the room are very complete and the kitchen utensils can fully meet the needs. It is a very good stay experience. I will come again next time if I have the chance.

The location of the hotel is good. It is very nice whether you go to eat or just hang out by the lake. The boss is from Zhejiang and is very nice. He is very enthusiastic to introduce us to delicious and fun things.
