It's fair to say that I have been judgemental in the past on Taupo accommodation, however Ashbrook Motel leads by example. We arrived late on a Saturday night and were warmly welcomed by the host/owner after a long day on the road. Check-in was seamless and we were guided to our room by the host and shown all of the...

Our group of four friends booked a two bedroom unit for a couple of nights a few blocks back from the lake. The unit was clean and looked like it had not long been refurbished so no problems there. Location was OK as we could walk to the main shopping area. We made use of the barbecue area which was... More

This is the second time I have stayed at this motel. The owners are very welcoming -organising us a late check in and late check out to suit our needs. The room itself was modern, comfortable and very clean with everything you need. It may not be a lakefront location but compared to other motels I've stayed at in Taupo... More

Very welcoming and helpful reception. We had the disabled unit (not requested) which was a plus with it's open spaces and extras. Super shower and bathroom together with a separate bedroom. Lounge area was spacious and very comfortable. The location of this Motel was exquisite, just a short walk to the lake, shops and restaurants. Only stayed one night, wish... More

This motel is great. The rooms are exceptionally clean and nicely decorated; the cooking facilities were also a great convenience. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and quiet location. We had planned to stay for one night and ended up staying for three. We found the owners and staff extremely accommodating - they couldn't seem to do enough to make sure... More

My friends and I stayed at this motel and absolutely loved it. Clean and met our expectation. A valuable material was left behind and they texted us informing us that they found that in our room. Awesome host :). Highly appreciated and greatly recommended.

Found this motel at last minute, we are a family of 5 and there were no other motels around that could accommodate us all in one unit so we were happy. Location is fantastic as you have a 10 min easy walk to town and the lake and only 5 min walk to supermarket. We also liked that free Internet... More

Thanks for your positive comments about our Motel. It was great that our system was able to find accommodation for you that night as Taupo sold out of family rooms. We apologise even with our best efforts that we couldn't spend time with you when needed. As you witnessed we had families like yourself checking in and others still looking... More

Came to Taupo for NZ SBK finals. Very fussy about hygiene and cleanliness in my accomodation... Ashbrook met my standards well and truly. Very nice people too, a family-run business. Thank you Ashbrook, we will be back. A note re the internet, due to upgrading, this was not working that night however, I considered this an insignificant issue and the... More

Myself and a 2 friends travelled to Taupo for Ironman New Zealand from Australia. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit and I can say it was fantastic. The rooms were modern, clean and well serviced. The service was above and beyond what I have experienced anywhere else and it was greatly appreciated. highly recommended.

We have just had our third stay at the Ashbrook. We have stayed once in a two bedroom unit and twice in a one bedroom unit. These units are faultlessly clean with modern decor. The owners are always very welcoming and friendly (even towards out little Jack Russell). Happily provided us with towels to take off the premises to swim.... More
