Beechtree Motel

About this place

Beechtree Motel is a 39-unit self-contained motel at 56 Rifle Range Road, a short distance from central Taupō and the lakefront. It is set up for a mix of leisure, family and business trade, and takes group bookings for conferences, teams and event travel in the Taupō district.

Units and facilities

Accommodation is spread across studios and multi-bedroom suites, so groups with mixed requirements can usually be housed on one site:

• Lakeview Spa Studio, Deluxe King Spa Studio, Triple Spa Studio and Ground Floor Spa Studio
• Queen Shower Studio
• Two Bedroom Spa Suite, Two Bedroom Family Suite and Three Bedroom Family Suite

All units are self-contained and have air conditioning or a heat pump plus free unlimited Wi-Fi. Deep spa baths are in most rooms. Other facilities listed by the motel include LCD flat-screen TVs (40 inch in all king studios), Sky Guest Select with 50-plus channels, free tea, coffee and toiletries, a BBQ area with outdoor furniture, and porta cots and highchairs subject to availability.

Practical points that matter to working travellers and crews:

• Business services and a concierge for attraction bookings and local advice
• Guest laundry (self-service, cost applies)
• Plenty of free off-street parking, including space for cars, boat trailers and larger vehicles
• Cafe-style room service breakfast
• Chargeback arranged with The Brantry and Dixie Browns restaurants

Meetings and groups

Beechtree does not market a dedicated conference room. Its group capability is accommodation-led: the motel states it can take large group bookings for conferences and for teams attending events or tournaments in Taupō, and the larger multi-bedroom suites give organisers flexibility for shared or twin-share arrangements. Reception hours are 8am to 8pm daily. There is also a published corporate rate for midweek business stays, bookable direct.

Location

Rifle Range Road sits just back from the lake, giving easy access to Taupō's lakefront, restaurants, cafes and shops, and to Taupō Airport. That puts delegates within a short trip of the town's main event venues and the Great Lake Centre precinct, with the wider Taupō attractions - Huka Falls, the Waikato River and the thermal areas - close by.

Suitability

A sensible, well-equipped base for business travellers, delegates and event or sporting groups needing self-contained rooms, off-street parking for vehicles and trailers, and walkable access to town. Best treated as delegate accommodation rather than a conference venue in its own right. See more Taupō accommodation.
