Camellia Court Family Motel Taupo

About this place

Camellia Court Family Motel Taupo is a budget, self-catering motel at 50 Tonga Street, Taupō. It sits in a spacious, quiet garden setting away from lakefront traffic noise, roughly 1.3 to 1.6 km from the town centre and lake. The regional tourism listing records 35 rooms and a maximum capacity of 120 guests, with nightly rates from around $40 to $255 depending on season and unit type.

### The offer

Accommodation is split between motel units and backpacker-style cabin units, both fully self-contained and described by the operator as around 55 beds each.

Motel units range from a studio with a double and a single bed, through three, four and five-sleeper configurations, to a two-bedroom six-sleeper with one double and four single beds. Motel units include a bathroom, SKY TV, stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, cutlery and crockery, electric blankets, bed linen and towels, and complimentary tea, coffee and milk.

Cabin units have TVs, bunk beds and in some cases double beds, with some offering a full kitchen and most having fridge, microwave and toaster. Linen and towels are provided and all cabins are private units. An ablution block serves the cabins.

### Facilities

Shared facilities include a laundry room with washers and dryers, a clothes line, a children's playground, a BBQ area, and plenty of well-lit off-street parking. The site is set back from the street, which the operator highlights as child safe. Continental breakfast is available to order.

The most notable facility for groups is a large central kitchen and dining room described by the motel as suitable for catering to large groups as well as individuals. The operator also invites enquiries about corporate, group booking and senior citizen discounts.

### Meetings and events capability

There are no dedicated conference rooms, AV or delegate packages advertised. The property's value to business events is as low-cost group accommodation with self-catering capacity. It is close to the Taupō Events Centre, the AC Baths, Spa Park, the Taupō golf and gliding clubs, rugby and sports fields, and motorsport venues, and around 80 minutes from the ski fields.

### Suitability

Best suited to budget-conscious group travel: sports teams, school and club groups, crews and volunteers attending events at the Taupō Events Centre or nearby sports venues, where self-catering and a shared group kitchen matter more than meeting facilities.
