Awesome location, excellent staff. Well presented. Try the Italian Restaurant which is a short drive or walk depending on the weather. We had a fabulous time.
super affordable. my room was really clean and the facilities like showers and kitchen was clean too. it was off season so not much crowd, plenty of space in the fridge for my food. Room had everything i needed, including a fan. Laundry services were slightly pricey at $6/wash and $6/dry, bring your own detergent, or buy some during store hours at the little shop near checkin. no vending machine for it! really rocky beach right behind the property, had loads of fun just hanging around.
The room was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. There wasn't a lot of parking, but the bathroom and room were both very clean. It's close to tourist attractions and very convenient for getting around.
We arrived in Auckland at 4am and I wrote to the property in the off chance they would let us check in a bit earlier. The team at the property let us in as the room was ready giving us some time for much needed shut eye (and a bath)!
The property is also very clean and greatly situated. I can’t recommend it enough.
Initially, we were given room 101, but it was too noisy due to the external air conditioning units facing an inner courtyard of the building. Eventually, Chris moved us to room 412. Even though it was next to the laundry room, it wasn't nearly as loud, and we were finally able to get some rest. The room is very spacious, and the beds are large and comfortable. The shower pressure was fantastic. We had a pleasant stay. Thanks, Chris!
This hotel is absolutely fantastic! We chose their best room this time, and it was incredibly spacious with amazing views. The parking lot is also huge. We stayed for four nights and three days, and we'll definitely be choosing this place again on our next visit!
A hostel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was ok, in line with the description and photos. They have large available kitchen for guests, and also room for chilling out.
20 minutes drive from parking where you can get bus at the start of Tongariro Alpine crossing hike.
This historic hotel, while having somewhat outdated facilities and no phone charging stations, boasts excellent service and food 👍. A nine-hole golf course is right in front, free for hotel guests. Just inside the forest are the hotel's three hot spring pools, each with a different temperature! After a relaxing soak, you can enjoy a wonderful night's sleep!
As we had a glowworm cave tour booked, we decided to stay overnight in Waitomo. The guesthouse was ideally located, with a great restaurant just around the corner, which made dinner very convenient. We stayed in room 40, and the bedroom came with an electric heater. Free parking was also available.
We stayed one night en route to Hobbiton and liked it so much that we stayed another 2 later in our trip.
Great location, and Cambridge is a relatively easy base to get to other places from.
Beautiful decor throughout, nice finishings and really peaceful.
It was very busy during our stay (around Christmas/NY) so a little wait for food/drinks but that’s to be expected. We had positive interactions with all hotel and restaurant staff.
My only feedback is that the switches in the rooms have blue lights on them, which, for people that like a black-out room, can disrupt sleep. Hopefully an easy fix!

Very Good
AAnonymous UserThe name may give you some illusions, but it is actually a standard motel. Many rooms are hard to find at night, but the location is good, close to the lake. The interior of the room is standard and the hygiene is good.
AAnonymous UserIt's a small resort with a nice environment. The only downside is that there's no elevator for the second-floor rooms, so you have to carry your luggage up. On the bright side, the second floor offers a great view of the snow-capped mountains. There aren't many supermarkets nearby, so you'll need to go to the city for groceries. However, there's a pretty good restaurant just across the street. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's clean and hygienic, which is a big plus.
GGuest UserI always stay here in Hamilton. It's such good value. It's a classic hotel, it means it's a bit old...but it has enormous comfortable rooms and it's right in the city.
FFluffyTotoroI arrived in Taupo on the morning Air NZ flight from AKL, upon arrival at the Chevron Motel, 4 hours before the published check-in time, I had planned to ask to have my luggage stored while I go about other business. The receptionist kindly asked me to wait while she checked to see if my room was ready, and if so, I could have my room right away. Lucky for me it was, I was very pleased with the initiative and flexibility offered. My booking included a living area with dining table, kitchen, sofa, spare single bed, a separate bedroom, and a dedicated parking space. My stay of 5 nights was very comfortable, and I will definitely use this motel again on my next visit. I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvements, first - a split type AC unit was present in the living room, it would be great if there could be a second unit installed in the bedroom. Internet connectivity, available 24/7, while adequate, did have limited bandwidth affecting video streaming from Netflix/YouTube etc. Lastly, it would be great if the TV provided in the living room had a larger screen. In summary, I was very pleased with my stay at the Chevron Motel, the room offered great value for money, and I was completely relaxed and comfortable during my stay.
GGuest UserWe stayed as a family of 4 the rooms were emaculately clean, the beds were beautiful and very generous sizing, local milk in beauitful glass bottles connecting the local rural communiy was a great touch.All appliances were new and whisper quiet, which meant we all slept very well. Glenys gave us plenty of advice on where to take the children, local hot pools were a hit and the domain next door with playground gardens and basket ball courts for free family fun, the exploding geyser was great entertainment, very handy location to all the walking tracks up mt Te aroha, supermarket and shops easy walking distance from motel.
The service was second to none.
Rod and Glenys were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best stay.
We had car trouble, and they opened their garage and time to help us get back on the road forever grateful.Truely, beautiful caring people.
We will be back again soon and have told all our friends and family of our new favorite motel

GGuest UserA very nice place. Hosts Richie and Lynn were friendly and helpful. The location is a stone’s throw from Waitomo caves and there are three places to eat within walking distance. It’s quiet and cozy. Netflix on the TV was welcomed on a rainy evening. The breakfast was welcomed as well.
SSyhui HoClose to the Chartwell shopping mall, clean room and has all basic amenities. Heater did not really warm the room much and there is a centralized control at the corridor so I guess that is the reason why but the room wasn’t cold either so it wasn’t too bad staying during winter. The travelers next to our room made a lot of noise during bedtime (close to midnight) and I understand this is beyond the landlord’s control. The only thing that I would recommend is for the landlord to put up a notice to ensure that the lodgers will keep the house quiet after 10pm.
GGuest UserThe accommodation was modern, immaculately clean, and provided a high level of comfort. The cleaning staff excelled, delivering service that surpassed expectations. Overall, the experience was positive. However, it would have been beneficial to be informed in advance that the check-in office is located offsite, requiring approximately a 4 minute drive from the main premises. This information would have streamlined the arrival process.
