Taihape Motel.

Good little Motel but we felt a little cramped. It could do with a better armchair which was so low it was hard to get out off. Seemed like it's feer had fallen off. Bigger mugs and three, not two, would be helpful. We appreciated the ellectric blankets.

Very old. Worn out chairs, very old decor and appliances...looks like original 60s shower with poor water pressure - had to run around to get wet! Budget heat pump that took ages to warm the room.

It was all there, but somewhat quaint and cute; a taste of the good old days. The heatpump was old and ineffective, but the bed was supremely comfortable. An enjoyable one night stay for one person. André.

This property was older but clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable the sheets crispy clean. I rang ahead to let the staff know we’d be late, they were very accommodating. No surprises here was exactly what I was expecting, we appreciated a place to stay for the night after halfway through a long trip.

Seamless check-in but the room needed a serious upgrade. Heat pump struggled to work, fridge froze our milk, and the condition of the room was not worth what we paid. Ok if there’s nowhere else to stay.
