A great place to stay when in Turangi. Older but clean and well maintained, quiet- far enough from State Highway 1 to be peaceful.

It was basic but suited our need for an overnight heading to Auckland. Ran out of hot water too quickly
Glenn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff. Perfect for the quick stop over and later check in times for that stop between destinations. Perfect for what we needed. Basic but good facilities for a short stay.

Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value for money. We only stayed overnight while passing through but were very happy with the 2 bedroom unit. Not far from the main road, yet nothing to hear but the songs of the local tuis.
Eva, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were passing through Turangi while visiting the national park. This is a small town, the motel is a good place for a short stay. It is small but clean. It is quite as well. Receptionist is professional and courteous and helpful. We appreciate the tips he gave us.

Great Place to Stay

A really unassuming place, but had all we needed for a lovely three night stay. Owners were friendly, unit was roomy with good kitchen, plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils, comfortable beds, good pillows and adequate bathroom. Bonuses were lovely outdoor balcony (could do with a bit of a garden) and absolutely wonderful cafe down the road (Cruel cafe, had the really good egg and bacon croissants - don’t bother with Time for Food in town, very ordinary, bakery with rose garden is a better bet in town). Motel is very quiet, we had one bedroom unit at front and it was great. A really nice place to stay and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay there again if ever in Turangi.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice unit, location (if you don't need the inernet

A clean and comfortable unit located in a nice avenue close to the Turangi centre. The only problem was despite free wifi being connected it was next to impossible to get any streamed apps or even free to view channels and the internet in general. Have encountered this at other motels in the district so it's probably a regional issue but sure;y hosts can find a solution?
