Great to hear from you Roger, thank you for this review. Safe travels.
Staff were friendly ...
We enjoyed our overnight stay. The unit was clean & well appointed. We’ve never had such a large unit … it was huge. Staff were friendly and we had everything we needed. Very inexpensive as well. We would definitely use this motel again.
Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Thanks Peter/Annette for your review. Yes, our units are large, but that is what people need…. space. All the best and hopefully one day we will see you again.
Would certainly stay here again.
My wife and I ,as well as our three grown up children, stayed for one night in this motel and I would certainly recommend it. Excellent place, room’s spacious , and it had a kitchen and very nice bathroom. Very clean. We were splitting our journey from Rotorua to Wellington. There was no problem getting breakfast and lunch in the town . The 24hr BP service station was handy. I would certainly stay here again.

Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Hi Jacqueline, thanks for your review. Nice to hear comments like yours. Take care.
Excellent again
Our overnight stop at Aspen Court Taihape was again excellent. The room’s facilities are maintained, clean and still beautifully presented. We have stayed with you a number of times and the standard has always been kept very high. As a result of our stays, we have also stayed with Aoraki Court Motel at Mt Cook and Grand Suites Murchison. We have enjoyed all. We still appreciate your assistance back in 2010 when you held a room for us when we were on our way back to Auckland after being notified of a parent bereavement. Your support has not been forgotten and was truly appreciated by two tired travelers. Kind regards, Lois & Ed Badham
Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Thanks Lois and Ed for your review and your continued custom. Great to see you both again. Take care.
Another wonderful stay
Another wonderful stay. I have begun to break up road trips by staying here. In fact it’s part of the pleasure of a road trip now. Taihape is picturesque, the motel is spacious and well-appointed and I find it to be an absolute haven. George is lovely, friendly and a good communicator. I trust him and Annette. I noticed a slight smell whenver I would first enter the suite. When I read Aspen’s commitment to clean, healthy rooms I felt reassured and put the curious smell down to that. I stayed at the Nautilus in Napier a few days later which also does a fastidious job of maintaining clean, high quality suites, where I smelt that same smell. That was confirmation that my stays were clean and I put the curious smell aside.
Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Hi there Simone, thank you for your repeat stays with us and your detailed review. Yes, we are committed to a cleanliness and Hygiene program second to none and that smell upon entering the unit will be testament to that. All the best.
Nice tidy motel...
Nice tidy motel, friendly staff and nice and close to places to eat. Will definitely be booking here again.

Thanks Rachel for this review.
A1 stay
A1 stay and fantastic staff and very accommodating.
Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Thank you Leonard for your review. All the best.
Quiet & roomy
This is our favourite stop-over from north to Wellington (and vice-versa). Quiet, roomy always clean. Would like enough comfortable chairs to sit in to match number of guests in the studio units – usually only one and the dining chairs are hard work!
Response from Aspen Court Taihape
Thanks Rose, we have space issues between the bed and the sliding door, that is why we only have a single chair. Maybe try a 1 bedroom or 2-bedroom unit as they have bigger sofas. Many thanks
