Detailed Reviews
Well, I'd not hesitate to recommend highly this Motel,it's owners and staff.
All were very professioanl and friendly, while manintaing the necessary covid etiquettes.
Simply kept to a very high standard, the grounds were brilliantly manicured, though, the addition of a park bench/seat under the trees at the front of the lawn might afford some weary travellers a nice cool spot from which to watch the world go by.
My not expensive room was the equal if not better than many motels, hotels I've stayed at.
I could not fault the comfort of my wonderful big bed, great water pressure in the fastidiously sparkling shower, along with plenty of soaps and shampoo's.
It is obvious that the owners of this establish care passionately about ther guests needs and strive to set high standards of cleanliness, presentation and service.
Seriously, I'd rate my stay at The Clifton Court Motel in Tokoroa New Zealand as amongst the very best our small country has to offer.

Second time we have stayed here. Best motel in Tokoroa - great hosts, clean tidy accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble - Anne changed my booking without fuss when I booked the wrong night! She kindly looked after an early check in for us so we didn't have to rush back from an event in Taupo and we got a nice free treat on check in. They also had a jump pack on site when 'someone' left the ignition on in the car overnight. They made a busy weekend much more enjoyable - thank you😊

We stay every time we have something on in the area and reccomend them to everyone. Nearly everyone in our family has stayed here now and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Amazing service, always clean and immaculately presented rooms. We've tried all the different types of rooms they have between us and all of them are excellent value. The owners are lovely and helpful when checking in and out. The cherry on top is Lucy the gorgeous cat that lives on the property, a visit from her makes any stay.

"While the rooms at this motel remain a comfortable choice, my recent stay was marred by challenges that need attention. Unfortunately, the previous review addressing WiFi issues seemed to have sparked an uncomfortable interaction with the owner during my visit. Such experiences detract significantly from an otherwise pleasant stay and can create an unwelcoming atmosphere.
The conduct during this interaction left much to be desired. As a frequent traveler, I've rarely encountered such confrontational behavior from management in the industry. In an effort to be fair, I chose not to post the previous review, hoping to observe improvements during subsequent visits. However, my attempt to make a new reservation was met with disappointment, as the management denied the booking without offering specific reasons.
This experience has left me questioning the professionalism of the management and their commitment to addressing concerns. Despite these issues, the rooms themselves remain a viable option for accommodation. However, for a motel to truly excel, it is crucial to foster a positive and guest-friendly environment. An improvement in the handling of guest concerns, open communication, and transparent booking procedures would undeniably enhance the overall experience for patrons."

I found Anne very friendly, helpful, and great to talk to from the emails and phone calls before booking. We were very, very happy with our room. The photos do not do the rooms justice, the decor is excellent, and the bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom are immaculate. Very clean indeed. Clifton Court Motel was very easy to find, being on the main road and very close to town and where our appointment was. Although the Motel is on the main road, it was a tranquil stay. There was also a trampoline and swing to keep my daughter occupied and Lucy the cat she loved.
If we had to go to Tokoroa again, Clifton Court Motel is the only place we will stay and the only place we would recommend to anybody and everybody. Thank you very much.

Fantastic one of the better motels I've had the pleasure to stay in.
The rooms are spacious with comfy beds.
They have a big screen TV with Apple TV and Netflix.
The room was immaculately clean.
Directly across the road are the Tokoroa heated pools, the kids loved it.

Thank you for this lovely review. We particularly love the comment about our nice clean rooms. It gives our girls such a buzz when we share the reviews with them. Those Hot Pools are a little hidden gem for sure.

Arrived late afternoon and was welcomed by Mark. Motel room was clean and tidy. Shower was lovely. Heaps of parking. Nice little gem of a place if needing just the basics. Close to kfc and other fast food joints if you like those places. Highly recommend this motel as they are the BEST in tokoroa as told by locals as well. Thank you Mark and Anne for great hospitality. Will stay again if we are in the area.

The location was perfect for our activity being through the back gate to the stadium no need to take your car.
The rooms were spotless and comfortable.
All contact with the owners was pleasant, helpful and patient. A group of 28 people takes a bit of organising but was done without any trouble.
Would not hesitate to rebook when next in the area. This was our second stay.
