Independent in Ongarue from NZ$115

"We were here for maybe 10 hours but very surprising at the quality of room with this stay. One of the best roadside motels ive ever been to in terms of comfort. Large new bed, good qater pressure, clean, and nice soap. Easy check in/out and even though we showed up too late, a nice looking, lively, pub on site. Great stop on our road trip. "

"Third time we have used this bach, and totally recommend it, everything you need is provided, and it is always extremely clean. The views of Lake Taupo are a huge bonus, and the host is fabulous."

"Great loction we where down for golf and squash was a great location "

"Easy self check in. Kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking and baking plus air fryer and slow cooker and rice cooker. Great communal areas including outdoor areas which were usable in the bright winter days we were blessed with. Good showers one upstairs bathroom and one downstairs bathroom. Bunk room is downstairs and rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. Light and Bright decor. Great comfy pillows. Many gorgeous wool blankets. We didn’t end up using the wood burner but there was plenty of wood. The house stayed very cosy with just the heat pump run in the morning and later evening. The house is a sun trap in the day. "

"Classis Kiwi 'bach', plenty of beds for everyone to squeeze in and a great place for family memories"

"We stayed here for just one night on our way to Taupo, but honestly, we wish we had stayed longer! The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The view was absolutely beautiful, so peaceful and calming.It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the space welcoming and well-equipped. We really appreciated the quiet surroundings.This was the perfect stopover, and we’ll definitely be booking again next time for more than just one night!"

"Popps Place was warm, tidy and perfect for the stay of 2 nights that they were there"

"Beautiful setting, lovely room and thoughtful breakfast and catering. "

"Unique configuration, but it worked well, comfy bed."
