My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our 4 day fly-fishing getaway. The motel was a good size for our simple needs, and we enjoyed its proximity to the water .. we were able to go for lovely evening strolls, and also walk down to fish. Staff were friendly and facilities were good.

Was a one night stop over, so we didn’t need much other than a shower and a place to sleep. The place is newly renovated and clean, and front of house friendly. No complaints from me.

We were passing through Turangi while visiting the national park. This is a small town, the motel is a good place for a short stay. It is small but clean. It is quite as well. Receptionist is professional and courteous and helpful. We appreciate the tips he gave us.
