This place has improved since our last stay over a year ago,with the new owner.We originally picked it as it had good rates and lots of room for parking trailers and boats etc and close to lake with great views. We stayed in one of the studio rooms and all was clean and tidy,real milk and biscuits on arrival and... More

We stayed at the Chelmswood for 4 days in late Feb 2012, after being recommended by friends who had previously stayed there. Everything was perfect, from spotlessly clean rooms, a great view of the lake, a thermally heated pool & even thermal baths in many of the rooms. Even FREE WI-FI which is a great feature, after having being ripped... More

We drove into Taupo late one afternoon in March and selected the Chelmswood to stay. The price was very reasonable and there are lovely views over the lake in the rooms overlooking the lake with thermal baths. The manager was very friendly and provided us with morning mik and biscuits. In addition, there was free wi fi in the rooms... More

I would recommend a stay at The Chemswood Motel the view is amazing its lovely and clean with great beds and the best hosts who really are committed to customer service. The price was right for our group and we will most certainly will return again for our next school reunion. Thankyou for making my weekend a memorable one in... More

Consequently I asked to... More

For a motel that claims to be the friendliest in taupo the gentleman wasn't very helpful or chatty. It was the most expensive motel we have stayed in around Nz and the rooms were ok but a bit dated. The ten minute walk is more like 30 at least and we are young and quite fit so found it a... More

spotless clean, tudor style, near town, children friendly, custumer service all this in a 4 star motel. Plenty of parking, hotpools in units ans open pool, transport to restaurants and pick up service to town. What else you expect. We enjoyed our long weekend.

From the moment we chose this motel for our stay our experience has been exceptional with beautiful rooms, clean and well appointed. Tasteful decor and layout is matched with attractive facade and exterior. While many motels can reach the standard of presentation, what sets the Chelmswood Motel apart is the exceptional friendless and personal attention from the staff. It is... More

Since our last stay at this fabulous place, the management has changed but the new owners have continued to provide wonderful family accommodation and we enjoyed our stay just as much (if not more, because we wanted to book another night!) as our last. The rooms were immaculate, good quality and service was also top notch, nothing was too much... More
