Motuoapa Bay小屋(Motuoapa Bay Chalets)

I booked this as required last minute accommodation in Taupo which was fully booked. The chalet was quiet and nice in general but let down by the fact it smelled bad inside and the shower didn’t work (a mere trickle). I found this unsatisfactory especially considering the high price of the booking.

Great place, just had an issue getting key back in lock box when checking out, called the number on lock box all morning and couldn't get through to anyone so called email number and they said to leave key on table. So hopefully it's all ok.

Tres calme pour une halte

Le chalet et les jardins sont très agréables. Tout est neuf et décoré avec goût.

Great option for a night to break up a long drive north. Close to the road so a bit of noise but comfortable bed and tidy accommodation. We advised we’d be there late, check in was super easy and they left the lights and the heater on which was a great touch - thanks!

Nice little property but just separated by a fence from the through road. Fun fact: there were ear plugs at each bed… They provide a shared washer & dryer on-site but sadly the dryer was out-of-service. Other than that it was a nice spot and the room has everything needed.

One night only, but the unit was let down by 1980s décor, a door missing in kitchen, kitchen taps were almost unusable just rubbish, and should be replaced, bathroom was clean but everything at least 40 years old. It did not match the price I paid plus the lead in lane , was gravel pitted with 100s of potholes.

Reminded me of my family’s lake house back home just the little unit version! Glad we picked it.

The lock box was excellent - back lighting of the box's large numerals made code punching much easier than most lock boxes. Chalet showed aspects of deferred maintenance - including peeling paper on walls. Interesting location of some light switches, some light bulbs did not work.
