The motel is well located for exploring Tongariro and Taupo and obviously very popular for fishing. Room was basic but comfortable and quiet and the motel has facilities like a small pool, spas and a restaurant.

Parklands had everything I needed for my visit, plus extras such as a hot tub and pool. But more importantly, hosts Craig and Angela were extremely hospitable and helpful. The hotel is especially convenient for anyone who likes to hike or fish. I do not think you can beat the value. Stay there!

We selected this motel because of its proximity to Tongariro National Park and it had a separate bedroom with single beds for our child. We stayed for two nights

The unit had everything you require although the decor is definitely dated and the bathroom particularly is in need of renovation. We stayed in winter and were very warm - the heater worked well and the beds had electric blankets.

The motel units are joined by a verandah all the way along so you can walk from your room to the bar and restaurant without getting wet. We ate in the restaurant one night and the prices were very reasonable and the food was very good. They had kids meals available.

We found the hosts friendly . Overall our stay was comfortable.

Clean with nice kitchenette. Not really anything special. We did appreciate the full cable TV selections while we recovered from our Tongariro hike.
