Beechtree Motel

Beecher met many of our expectations and exceeded a few as well. Scott is great, we had arrived a little less than an hour early and just wished to familiarize ourselves with the property pre-check in. When he asked about our reservation we ID'd our daughters name whom would arrive in another hour and he warmly offered our key to check in early. Outstanding, haven't had that experience but a few times. Good covered parking ( ample sized doubles ) and direct access to the stairs. No elevator , ok, we have ( 2 ) 23 kg. suitcases from our Summer in America and need a forklift to raise them. So needless to say I got my exercise 🤣. The great news is the 2nd floor was worth the climb. We have a direct view of Lake Taupo and Acacia Bay nearby. We are just several hundred metres from the waterfront walkway ! Yes there are many properties on the waterfront yet this proximity coupled with a fair view was fine. Our stay is three nights and the large guest room kitchenette suited us fine. Refer, sink, plates, utensils, microwave, all allowed for breakfasts in and takeaway meals brought back to the comfort of our space. The best bed in terms of comfort for both my wife and I and two heater elements which came in handy for this late spring rain, hail and mist ! The women/ young women that comprise the housekeeping staff are kind, accomodating, neat in appearance , immaculate/ clean and well organized. Their diligence, quiet, calm is greatly appreciated as we would leave our guest room a little later , mid morningish - well after others had already left. One final thought, we apologize to Scott as he was unaware that he gave us our daughter & grandaughters lakeview room which was advanced book by John. Our room should have been #34 , not #13 as we would not know our exact travel plans until much later. This mishap led to an argumentitive & heated call by John which was not warranted. Again apologies, we did everything imaginable to surrender our room to our grandaughter & daughter and they would not. Ironically , the weather would prevent lake views anyway 🤣 , so all was equal. We will give John 13 lashes when we see him 😉, sorry Scott 🙏

Another excellent stay in Taupo. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room perfect for our 2 night stay. Close to Taupo CBD and a nice mini mart and Asian restaurant across the road. We used this motel as our touristy base, travelling to Rotorua and sightseeing Taupo. We were last in Taupo 30 months ago. Still as great as it was then. Taupo has great bakeries. I love your pies.

The motel is great. The beds are phenomenal. The room is specious, warm and cozy. Scott, who manages the motel is great and a heart warming guy. He helped us to reach our bus so we wont miss it. We greatly appreciate it .

Our stay at Beechtree Motel was so good, I really wanted to leave a review. My daughter and I stopped for the night in Taupo on our Auckland to Wellington trip, and it was by far the best motel experience of the 30+ times I've stopped in Taupo. Very well designed, super comfortable beds, clean, great bathroom - and a spa bath! Very friendly team, lots of parking, handy to town. Definitely give it a shot!

Spent a couple of nights here. Very comfortable room. Clean. Comfortable bed. Easy walking distance to the town centre and the lake front. View of the lake from the balcony was an added bonus.

A really comfortable room that was very clean, well appointed with a spacious bathroom. We would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Old hotel, terrible service. The staff is rude to every guest. I've never seen such rude treatment. If you want to save your nerves and money, don't book this hotel.

A nice tidy motel located not far from the city centre. The room was clean, tidy and warm. We had an upstairs room with small north facing balcony. The staff were friendly and check-in was easy. The motel was easy to find and there was plenty of off-street parking.

One of the most surprising and delightful motor hotels we stayed at on our drive around the north island. They include several fantastic amenities that our family really appreciated. This included: fast (relatively) WiFi, a trampoline and swings, proximity to lake Taupo and several restaurants, a gas grill, and very comfortable beds. We greatly enjoyed our stay and honestly wished we had been able to stay a bit longer. We loved Hula falls and getting to walk through the local botanical gardens. Very much recommend staying here if you're ever going near Taupo.
