52 on Rifle Motel

Clean warm place newly renovated. Big room. Super lovely hosts - haven’t gone wrong with their dinner recs, they turn the heat pump on for you just before you get back at the end of workday, great spa room you can book for free in the evenings & they even warm your towel up for you!

Great value, very comfortable and spacious. Very neat and clean, newly renovated which made it a very pleasant stay. Would go back there again with the family. So close to Restaurants and shopping.

The hosts, Colin and Lisa go all out to help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. You only have to ask for advice or recommendations about anything local, food, activities or entertainment, and they have the answer! Nothing is too much trouble. Walking distance to town centre, yet quiet and relaxing

We stayed in a 2 bedroom family suite for 3 nights and would highly recommend this place for families. The room was exactly like the photos and it was very spacious for our family of 4. The entire place was extremely clean and warm and the electric blankets made our stay even more comfortable. Location was convenient only 2km from town yet far enough from all the traffic and noise on the lake front. There is also a 4 square directly opposite. The wifi quality was great and never dropped out even though all the rooms were full. Having almost all sky channels available were very handy for a wind down period, and to keep the kids entertained. The playground is close enough to keep an eye on the kids yet far enough to get them out of your hair. The spa is available to book to ensure some privacy and the laundry facilities were free to use. Customer service was great, Colin was very helpful from the moment we arrived and the cleaning ladies would check in to see if we needed anything. All in all it was a home away from home and we can't wait to return.

What a great place to stay! There's a lot of choice in Taupo, but we were very happy with ours to stay at 52 Rifle. Upon checking in, we were given an upgrade, which made our trip. Our accommodation was clean and roomy and had everything we needed. The location was great too - a 10 minute walk int town, but across the road is a great little supermarket, cafe, butchers and takeaway.

Fantastic host! Lovely unit. Only issue was the skylight in the main room. Got woken up very early

Nice clean and tidy property with recent renovation and modernisation. Easy walk into town to shops and restaurants. Good family facilities.

Colin and Lisa were great hosts and full of local tips and knowledge. The rooms were perfect, neat, tidy and ever so comfy! Great size rooms and beautiful new bathroom. Close to the lake and to the town centre. Great little cafe across the road. Absolute perfection, I highly recommend this beautiful motel.

After having to alter our booking, reducing the number of people staying, and the length of stay, we were super impressed with the service and flexibility shown by the management of 52 on Rifle. This motel is ideally located and is also ideal for families. We didn't use the pool table, the table tennis table, the spa, or the kids play area, but only because we retirees and were there to play golf ;-) All the usual positives you'd hope for - cleanliness, space, etc. We actually felt it was a very "homely" motel.
