    Very handy location just back from the road a little( room was well away from main road and quiet) Short walk to great pub and good food. Close to supermarket if that’s what you need.

    Very close to supermarket, restaurants and laundry. Comfortable stay. A little train noise but that’s probably true of most of Taumarunui. Very friendly staff.

    It's a great place to stay if you're doing a Forgotten World Adventures tour. While it's a fairly basic motel, it is great value for money.
