Review of Tui Oaks Motel
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 May 2017
Good value for money at $ 95.00 per night - lovely view of Lake Taupo. The owners/managers were friendly and accommodating. The room provided all the necessities - the shower, however was quite pathetic and the wifi connectivity was irritating to connect to and impossible to stay connected to! Good location though, within easy walking distance of a great pub!

Stayed here with my family in early January, overall it is a great place to stay – especially if you are given the choice to stay on the top floor. Very clean and quiet, with great views that overlook Lake Taupo and the Tongariro National Park. The host were super helpful if you ever needed anything and very friendly.

I stayed here with my Wife in April 2017.

The rooms are very simple, small, but have everything you may need. The room was quite cheap too so no complaints. Excellent spot right by the lake with views down to the mountains at the south-west of the lake. Free Wi-Fi, although it cut in and out regularly, still free is free.

The friendly people who run the Motor Inn were always helpful when we asked them queries about Taupo, and even helped us doing our laundry. We had one issue where the leg of our bed broke during the night and they were very quick to move us to a new room (with a better view!) with no hassles.

We had a room which is located behind their cover photo. But we were next to the pool and still had a side view of the Lake. Good sized room, very helpful manager and friendly staff. Queen bed and 2 single beds in another room. Large bathroom.

My partner and I stayed here for one night in early Jan in a studio room. The room was very tidy and clean and had amazing views of the lake and the Tongariro National Park in the background. The staff who greeted us were very friendly and allowed us to leave our car on the premises after checking out so we could grab some lunch. Would definitely stay here again!
