Motels in North Island

Let’s be real, this is a basic motel that provides a good spot to rest your head on the road to somewhere else. Don’t expect the Ritz. But if you’re looking for a hot shower, clean bed linens, and a friendly owner that will try and accommodate your needs (like charge your car or recommend a good place to eat) then this is perfect.

Quiet, virtually no traffic noise. It was easy to find, being on a main road. Plenty of free parking. Prices were very reasonable. It was a good 3 star motel.

I was positively surprised by the quality of the motel, given that it was very cheap. Value for money was excellent. So handy to the airport. Free parking. Spacious unit with large kitchen.

This is a motel close to the city centre that has free parking. Once you arrive you can then leave the car and walk to the city centre.

Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.

Loved how convenient this motel is. Loved how clean it was. Loved the check in and check process was. Free parking onsite

Friendly staff, cheap room with free parking. Quiet in the evening. Nice cafe on site serving good coffee and good savoury scones in the morning.

Great Motel with very friendly staff. Every day cleaning, clean towels, making the beds. Bathroom perfect and fridge. Free parking.

The room was huge!!! I was originally going to have a friend come to stay as well but she couldn't make it. It's not modern but I like the old schoolness of it. Great location, and I found free parking on the road 10 mins walk away which was fine for me. Awesome restaurants - I recommend the kebab place next door and naughty naan across the rd - both open late. Naughty Naan is by far the best Indian food I have ever had! Friendly, helpful staff.
