Central Park Motor Inn
Short notice booking in Taumaranui, options are limited but plumbed for this motel and quite happy with the result. No prizes for looks or views but otherwise a serviceable and very clean room. Weirdly the vanity doors were coming apart but everything else was v good.

Tekoa Lodge a truely beuatiful location , that is quiet, secluded and private .
Tekoa Lodge was perfect for our family ski trip. House is very warm with the woodburner going. Lots of space inside and out. Very short drive to the mountain. The private bush track down the river is also very cool. We would certainly stay again. Oh, and David is an excellent communicator.

Hukapapa Accommodation Teina
This was a difficult stay. The house sits so close to the road that the whole building shakes when heavy vehicles pass by, which is often. It was hard to sleep under these conditions, and not very pleasant to be in the house when awake.
