It met our needs for our stay in Taupo. Unfortunately the motel is a bit tired and has lost facilities, like the restaurant. It was easy to use the path to the river and into town

Huka Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls we've ever seen. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge. Besides that the best time to visit, in our opinion, is when the sun is about to set and the sky is painted in purple! #HukaFalls #LongExposure #Waterfall #Sunset #Nature #NewZealand
