My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our 4 day fly-fishing getaway. The motel was a good size for our simple needs, and we enjoyed its proximity to the water .. we were able to go for lovely evening strolls, and also walk down to fish. Staff were friendly and facilities were 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.

It was worth the money for a single night stay, I wouldn’t recommend this one for more than a night or if you can make it to Rotorua.
