Excellent highly recommend if you are in Taumaranui looking for a place look no further, this place has it all quiet. main street, great walks, close to all food places. Owner is really helpful. rooms are comfortable and very clean, there are even little xtra's in the kitchen
There is nothing to dis-like

Nothing
It was close to highway and central to town. Staff was friendly and wanting to help. Comfy bed Kitchen with full size fridge
The unit and bathroom need proper heating on cold nights - heater provided was not sufficient.
I always stay here. the owner Michael offers a great product in a small rural town. Always clean. and a great location.
Nothing could be better which is why I always stay here
Location across the road from a lovely tree lined river. Easy walk to different places to have dinner
Visiting the forgotten Highway so motel was very close
Eigentlich nicht viel

Location and cleanliness
N/a
Clean, comfortable, great location. The staff went as far as turning the heater on so was lovely and warm when arriving back to the motel after a day out.
Nil
Staff very helpful and catered to my needs as a cyclist
Close to Forgotten World depot
Comfy bed, clean and tidy which is important to us. Owner rang us to tell us we had left something behind, so went out of his way which was lovely
A couple more pillows
Good location. Easy parking close to the room. Friendly staff
Nothing
Buena ubicación al lado del Mc y una BP con café. Amplia cabaña familiar, con 2 habitaciones y cocina con microondas, heladera, hornalla y paca eléctrica. Atención muy cordial. Estacionamiento descubierto sin cargo. Buen wifi
El baño es chico, la ducha muy baja
Comfortable clean motel close to the Forgotten World Adventures base. A good alternative to the FWA motel if you are going on the rail trip. Spacious room with good seating. Excellent bed. Good shower. All the basic appliances including a single hotplate.
It didn't bother us, but the main trunk runs just behind the motel so you get passing trains.
Very clean and comfortable motel unit and very close to Forgotten World Adventures (very easy walking distance). Very friendly and obliging host. Clean and basically equipped.
Clean comfortable unit. Friendly staff. Easy to find and park.
Bed was comfortable and shower had good pressure
Curtains too thin, big outside door into the kitchen which shone light into the bedroom
Handy to town and staff were lovely
Very outdated and old
Close vicinity to McDonalds, BP and New World.
Close vicinity to railway - the room/bed shook whenever a train went by. Noise from guests in room next to us was quite prominent and annoying. They weren’t deliberately being noisy but any action/movement by them was easily heard. Noise from heavy vehicles was prominent 24/7 also.
Location was great
A bit close to the road heard all the trucks and the room vibrated
Friendly staff, clean room accessibility location
Bed was a little hard, limited crockery and utensils and kitchen basic
The reception staff was very friendly and amenable. Food store and restaurants are within easy walking distance. (2-10 minutes).
Parking is tight. Good for smaller vehicles.
Great location, large well equipped room
Bed was a bit too firm, but that’s our personal preference
Possibly the cleanest place Ive ever stayed! I liked having the little cooker as well as a microwave. Good lighting for reading. Comfortable bed. Daily housekeeping
As with most places, no salt and pepper, no plug in bathroom basin Glass door to outside with no curtain, so hard to sleep if going to bed early
Noise from the trucks especially throughout the night
Close to McDonald's
No iron No flannel No extra pillows
Clean room, comfortable bed, plenty of parking, close to shops & restaurants.
The fast wifi and good shower pressure
No local tv channels. No faceclothes to wash yourself.. no extra pillows as only one for each of us. Room needed to be aired as smelt very smelly.. some parts need to be renovated and on roof remove the light shades as room very dark..
It's an older syle motel but spacious room with ktitchen and all untensils you would expect and VERY clean. Good location at the start of town, 2min to walk supermarket and not far to walk to the main part of town. The beds were comfortable and despite being close to the road it was quiet. We arrived early and the room was ready so it was no problem to check in early - great service!
No breakfast. Provided
Very basic accommodation unconfortable bed. Motel like a basic cabin
Welcoming staff, very clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable, good pillows too.
Nothing
This motel is in a great location, especially if you are going on the outdoor adventures. Very large and roomy, and most importantly two lounge chairs as well as comfortable kitchen chairs.
Nothing
The unit provided all the facilities we required. It is an older style motel but presents well.
It was as we expected.
The location was great
We found the bed very hard and uncomfortable for us
Was super clean , had all the amenities that you need 🥰 the owners are super kind & welcoming ! Always checking in if we need any top ups or anything cleaned . For a small town i definitely recommend staying at Kelly’s Motel !
Nothing
Très bon accueil et bon emplacement car juste à côté d'un centre commercial
Pas de rideau de séparation entre la chambre et la cuisine. Ligne de chemin de fer pas loin mais pas trop de bruit
The location was really good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was very clean and so was the bathroom and kitchen area
The only thing was that I found the bed to be rather hard and slightly uncomfortable
Easy check in, friendly staff and everything we needed.
Perfectly suited to a single night stay, clean and comfortable
Great location.Very clean & well equipped.Comfy beds.
The owner, who spoke broken English and was hard to understand, refused to give us a refund on one of the two units we booked, when we realised soon after arrival that one unit could easily accommodate our family. The units were both dark, poorly lit, poorly laid out and very dated. The location is on the corner of the highway and our unit, which was within a relocated villa, vibrated with trucks rumbling past.
We always stay here when we are in Taumarunui. Has everything we need and the staff are friendly.
Super cute Airbnb style rooms. Clean. Feels new.
Liked everything especially the customer service. Accidentally forgot a t shirt in the room and was promptly contacted to retrieve it which I thought was very thoughtful and professional, really appreciated that.
has fridge, microwave,
The pillows are too thick for me, and there is only one. I have no choice. The family room is too hot, and there is no air conditioning
Großes Zimmer, Terrasse und Garten vorhanden, Supermarkt und Fastfoodladen direkt nebenan
Das Kissen war mir etwas zu hoch und fest, die Dusche ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen
Very clean
Easy to find, safe location, spacious room.
Very clean. Friendly owners.Always available to help.
Liked everything although a hook in the bathroom to hang clothes on would be helpful.
