4-Star Hotels in Waikato, New Zealand

We have a great stay at this hotel. Its very clean, staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast provided by the hotel is really great too! It is also near to tourist attractions and good food places.

We booked this place because it was relatively cheaper compared to other motels in Taupō. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s not right on the lakefront or in the CBD, but it’s only about a 10-minute drive from the main area. (Car def needed ! 🚗³₃) What a pleasant surprise! The resort is huge, and the room was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. The facilities were incredible and all included with the stay: two heated pools, two jacuzzis, a sauna, tennis courts, football fields, squash courts, and a gym. Everything was well maintained, and the facilities are open from 6am to 11pm, which was fantastic. There are also restaurants and bars on-site, which were great. We didn’t try the breakfast, but they offer a $35 buffet breakfast that looked really good. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to many of Taupō’s attractions, including the geothermal spas, Huka Falls, and the prawn park. Overall, this accommodation exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taupō!

Enjoyed my one night stay on a Thursday night in October. Room - Superior Queen #110. $92 nzd. Pros -Cheap -Comfy mattress -Great location -Clean -Spacious room and bathroom -Heat pump which was on when i arrived which kept the room at a comfy temp. -Kind front desk woman on arrival. -Old world architecture. Cons -Noisy heat pump (albeit grateful there was one) -No sound insulation so can hear footsteps easily. -Bed was 2 x singles pushed together and had to sleep either side of the gap. Tip - book a superior room type. It's my experience these are better quality. When you book the lead in room category (deluxe) they're cheaper for a reason. I would return but not on a Friday or Saturday as the sound of the street noise and night clubs would be heard easily. Thanks for a nice stay.

I arrived in Taupo on the morning Air NZ flight from AKL, upon arrival at the Chevron Motel, 4 hours before the published check-in time, I had planned to ask to have my luggage stored while I go about other business. The receptionist kindly asked me to wait while she checked to see if my room was ready, and if so, I could have my room right away. Lucky for me it was, I was very pleased with the initiative and flexibility offered. My booking included a living area with dining table, kitchen, sofa, spare single bed, a separate bedroom, and a dedicated parking space. My stay of 5 nights was very comfortable, and I will definitely use this motel again on my next visit. I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvements, first - a split type AC unit was present in the living room, it would be great if there could be a second unit installed in the bedroom. Internet connectivity, available 24/7, while adequate, did have limited bandwidth affecting video streaming from Netflix/YouTube etc. Lastly, it would be great if the TV provided in the living room had a larger screen. In summary, I was very pleased with my stay at the Chevron Motel, the room offered great value for money, and I was completely relaxed and comfortable during my stay.

The landlord was very hospitable, gave a detailed introduction, and recommended a popular bar. The shower water pressure in this room was a bit low.

We had a very good discounted price for the night, the room was very comfortable and clean with a good bathroom. Unfortunately the units are not very well sound proofed and in our instance the occupants of the room next door were very inconsiderate and stayed up very late, even after asking them in person to go to sleep at 1am it took another while before it got quiet. With the bar and restaurant next door a very convenient spot

The hotel is incredibly cozy and comfortable, and you couldn't ask for a better location, it is right in the city centre with everything just a short walk away. Highly recommend.

While the TV and bathroom in the room were a bit dated, I don't really use the TV anyway, so it didn't bother me much. However, I think the view was absolutely stunning. My friend and I really enjoyed the ambiance, and the ground-floor lake view room had a backyard that opened directly onto the lawn. On the afternoon of our check-in, we not only enjoyed the scenery but also stargazed and admired the moon together that evening, so I had a great time.

The motel is clean and luckily close to some food places as they did not have in house restaurant. The room is a bit small, luckily I was staying alone. I accidentally left my water bottle and they wrote to let me know. That's nice of them.

It's within walking distance of the beach, where you can dig your own pool in the sand and soak in the hot water. You can rent a shovel for $5 at reception. There's a heated pool on site. The bungalow was cool to sleep in, despite the heater being on. The kitchen and toilet are a bit far from the sleeping area.
