Great view

Review of Tui Oaks Motel
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jul 2017
This accomodation is in a great location. The view is spectacular but I found the traffic noise a bit intrusive and the curtains let quite a bit of light in. Our room was small but had everything we needed. The best part is you can walk into town for restaurants or there is one right alongside.
Date of stay: July 2017
Room Tip: Ask for a view if you don't mind traffic noise

stayed one night while house hunting, caught up with friends. Always friendly staff, good winter rates, close to restaurants, across the road from the lake, plenty of parking. Have stayed there many times.

Room tip: views over pool area, or lower floor opens out to pool

Just stayed the 1 night. Great location with nice clean bathroom. A bit of care when stepping into the shower it is a little slippery when wet. A good sized fridge for wines and beers etc etc. Good sized T.V. screen and comfy bed. The owners are very very friendly which makes it a great place to stay. :)

We stayed here for two nights and were pleased with our room, bedroom for the kids and the big bed in lounge with tv for the adults....amazing view of the lake from our window. The managers were friendly and helpful, we thought $380 was reasonable for what we got with the room and having the kids with us. Little annoyed that there isn't a door separating the bathroom from the bedroom. Otherwise we had a good stay.

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.
