Chevron Motel

I arrived in Taupo on the morning Air NZ flight from AKL, upon arrival at the Chevron Motel, 4 hours before the published check-in time, I had planned to ask to have my luggage stored while I go about other business. The receptionist kindly asked me to wait while she checked to see if my room was ready, and if so, I could have my room right away. Lucky for me it was, I was very pleased with the initiative and flexibility offered. My booking included a living area with dining table, kitchen, sofa, spare single bed, a separate bedroom, and a dedicated parking space. My stay of 5 nights was very comfortable, and I will definitely use this motel again on my next visit. I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvements, first - a split type AC unit was present in the living room, it would be great if there could be a second unit installed in the bedroom. Internet connectivity, available 24/7, while adequate, did have limited bandwidth affecting video streaming from Netflix/YouTube etc. Lastly, it would be great if the TV provided in the living room had a larger screen. In summary, I was very pleased with my stay at the Chevron Motel, the room offered great value for money, and I was completely relaxed and comfortable during my stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Chevron Hotel, but what impressed us the most was the exceptional honesty and kindness of the staff. After we checked out, we accidentally left some of our belongings behind. The hotel team went above and beyond to find a way to contact us and make sure we got our items back. We were truly touched by their effort and dedication. This level of care and customer service is rare to find. Thank you to the amazing team for your honesty, professionalism, and genuine kindness. You turned what could have been a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Chevron Hotel to anyone looking for not only a comfortable stay but also outstanding hospitality. We will definitely stay here again when we visit.

The Motel has ample parking space. Nearby there is a chemist warehouse.

Great location. Room was neat and tidy. Enjoyed the stay.

It was a place to rest our heads. Quite outdated, and needed a top to bottom clean. Otherwise, comfortable place to spend our between activity times. Very good location. 10 minute walk to the lakefront restaurants. 5-10 minuwalk to close by supermarket and The Warehouse. Chemist Warehouse across the road.

Great value for the price, clean, quiet walking distance to lake, shops abc restaurants. Parking outside room. Just need new pillows for sleeping. Would stay again if ever in Taupō

We stayed at the Chevron Motel and really liked it. The location is excellent – right near town and very convenient. There is free parking and also a spa. The rooms are decent-sized, a bit old but well maintained and very clean. We appreciated the cooking facilities in the room. The beds are a little dated but comfortable enough. There’s also an on-site laundry ($10 for wash, dry and powder). Margaret at reception was very welcoming and accommodating. Overall, a clean, convenient, and good-value stay. We’d recommend it!

The room was clean, beds were comfortable. The furniture was good but worn. The lighting could be updated, it was a bit dull.
