We stayed in a comfort double. It was a good size with a very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. The motel is away from the main road so nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The male staff at the reception was very helpful by flexible arrangement. Parking a car in front of each lodge as well as the kichen was convenient. The facilty in the room looks a little old, but considering the price, it was acceptable.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming motel. The rooms were very comfortable - especially with the AC unit working overtime after a hot day on the water. The managers and staff are so kind and accommodating. They helped us extend our stay last minute and even offered to drive us to our heli-tour when a weather delay meant we missed our original ride! Do yourself a favor and stay here a night or three when in Turangi. 10/10 5-stars
