6/10

This is a remote motel (IE no one available for in person checkin) - perhaps we missed this condition when booking but with no ability to call the number required to get the key lock access code (strongly suggest having a WhatsApp friendly number to call or online chat service for those with data only SIM cards or provide the key details via email) it made it quite complicated to check in. Venue is dated, but very clean, and value for money comparative to metro accomodation is low, although this appears the norm in Taupo. Quite satisfactory for an overnight stay.
