Ashbrook Motel Taupo 4 stars

Taupo

Set in Taupo, 36 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park, Ashbrook Motel Taupo offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. This 4-star motel offers room service and a tour desk. The property is non-smoking and is situated 36 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley. The stay itself was a pleasure, but more than that, the exceptional, extremely friendly staff made this stay one we will never forget. Right from the start we were greeted so kindly and they even helped us get to the spa in Taupo. At this point, my mother and I would like to say thank you again! :) Taupo was a highlight of our New Zealand trip! :)

Baycrest Thermal Lodge 4.5 stars

Taupo

All apartments include a fully equipped kitchen, ceramic hot plate and under floor central heating. Facilities include a thermal-heated swimming pool, poolside bar, shared barbecue facilities and laundry. We had a fantastic relaxing stay, the bed was huge and comfortable, the rooms were huge and so clean. The outdoor private mini thermal baths really sealed the deal for us, the photos do not do the property or these baths justice, it is absolutely fabulous and we found it very romantic - but families or lone travellers would also love it. It was a very central location and we were able to conveniently park and charge our car outside our flat for free. The reception lady was so helpful, she helped us find a compatible car charger as ours didnt seem to fit their outdoor sockets, nothing was a problem for her and her upbeat pleasant attitude started our stay off on the right foot. I truely can't believe this place was as cheap as it was, it's an absolute steal! I would 100% go back and my fiance agrees with me completely. It was one of the highlights of our North New Zealand road trip in terms of lodging.

The Ohakune Central Motels 3 stars

Ohakune

Situated only 4 minutes’ walk from central Ohakune, The Central Motel & Lodge features an outdoor hot tub. All studios and apartments include self-catering facilities and electric blankets.

The Central Motel & Lodge is just 5 minutes’ drive from the base of Mt Ruapehu, which boasts the Turoa Ski Resort and the Tongariro National Park. Ohakune Railway Station is 3 km away. Apparently the rooms were renovated 5 years ago but they are still spotless. Real quality in the kitchen, wonderful comfortable bed and the first bathroom on our trip that didn’t have some sort of issue, in fact it was super. Great location, super friendly and helpful hosts , I doubt there’s much better comfort and value in Okakune .
