The staff were exceptional. We accidentally left our iPad there and they were so helpful in getting it shipped to us. We anticipated it would be a few days to get it but they were so quick to get the iPad out we had it arrive at our location before we even got there. Their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. We enjoyed our time at this motel.

Suite Petite is a studio apartment in Taupo, 24 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley and 800 metres from Taupo Bungy. Housed in a building dating from 2014, this apartment is 800 metres from the Lake Taupo Hole in One Challenge and from town where guests can enjoy a number of cafes, restaurants and shops.

The suite was petite as advertised, but very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The hosts were wonderful and welcoming, even leant me trekking poles! And the hot tub was a huge plus.
