Clean, Comfortable & Quiet
The property is recently renovated, rooms are clean and pretty much most of the things are new inside the kitchenette. Bed was comfortable, room was spacious and quiet. They also have a very beautiful garden at the back where you can enjoy your evening.

I enjoyed my stay at Dunrovin, the room was cosy and warm and was modern and well appointed. The location is quiet, but also only a short distance to the lake and town. Will definitely stay again.

So friendly and accommodating. The only thing I have to say is the curtains in the bedroom were so bright it made it hard to have a good sleep in. Other than that I can’t fault this motel!

We loved our stay at Dunrovin as part of our road trip around the North island. Josef was very welcoming. The unit was so cute with beautiful garden area. Clean, great bed, warm and cosy with everything we needed. We were so close to town and enjoyed the walk there. Would definitely stay again when visiting Taupo.

Good stay but a few things to iron out
Pretty good stay overall however unit 2 which we stayed in has an aircon controller that only allows you to turn it on/off. No control over temperature, fan speed etc. The pillows were quite thin as well. Apart from this, the room was great. Very clean and had a good kitchen to make simple meals.
