Top Craters of the Moon Hotel Reviews

Ashbrook Motel Taupo

Ashbrook Motel Taupo

10/10 Excellent
"Our 2 night stay in the Superior Suite ( 1 bedroom) in Room 9 with a spa bath was a fantastic space for us, it was very clean, with a lovely aroma on arrival. The room consisted of a double bed situated in the lounge with a 3 seater sofa, a dinning table for 4 & heat pump. Kitchenette with all the necessary cutlery, fridge & cook top. 1 bedroom with 2 single beds with a tv that we did not use, as it was just the 2 of us. The bed was a bit uncomfortable (hard) for us but was very warm. The only downer was the spa bath is very small length wise & width wise- it is basically a small bath tub with jets (not high pressured) it is NOT a “spa pool” however we still enjoyed it with the cold & rainy weather. A laundry on site is available $2 each for the washing machine & dryer. The staff were very lovely & accommodating, Town very close within walking distance if your keen. However it is a big town lots of variety shops so parking up in town & walking around would be best if you plan to do a bit of shopping. Over all we really enjoyed our couple nights stay here & spending our last 2 days of our holiday in Taupo. Thank you :)"
