After living in Waiouru for five years in 1970s and 1980s, always wanted to spend night in Taihape at the Gretna.

Dining room had specials each night, we had burger of choice with tap beer of choice for $20. Large plates with superb homemade Pattie, beetroot, tomato, gherkin, fresh lettuce and tomato on supersize bun with hand cut homemade chips. Amazing value. No breakfast, but kitchen facilities on accommodation floor provides teabags and coffee with all facilities. Great value

DuxHouse BnB, hotel in Taihape

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, DuxHouse BnB is set in Taihape. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Jolanda was very hospitable and helpful. The accommodation was very comfortable and was separate from the main house. The bathroom was a good size and reached by going through the 'snug'; a seating area with a sofa and TV. The main room had the kitchenette, table & chairs & bed with access to a balcony overlooking the garden & hills behind with table & chairs for al fresco dining! Although on the main SH 1, it was a haven of peace when we stayed!

Historic Shearers Quarters, hotel in Taihape

Historic Shearers Quarters is set in Ruahine. This farm stay offers free private parking and private check-in and check-out.

This is a historic gem. Beautifully restored with period features intact. It was peaceful and the dawn chorus of the magpies was beautiful. I recommend the books about the history of the family and the property. The bathroom with a big deep enamel bath was bliss.

    It was great to be staying at a rural B&B in such an attractive location. The host Leah was very welcoming and has obviously added personal touches of her own. Home baking and preserves are always welcome! We would love to return for a longer stay

    Taihape is a quaint quiet country town.

    Taihape is a quaint quiet country town. The locals are a friendly lot and like to have a chat. I didn’t venture out much during my 2 days there but when I did,it was relatively easier to find my way around. The only disappointment I had was there was only one takeaways open in the afternoon/evening.(Chinese),fortunately New Worlds is handy.

    It was a great place to stop for the night. We had takeaways for dinner. Visited the giant gumboot at night - the spotlights were on and the kids loved it. We had breakfast at Brown Sugar, which was nice. Then we were on our way to the rest of our holiday.

    A lovely little old town which we usually transit at on our way down south. The little town has all sorts of amenities including good supermarket and a few good cafes with at least two very good restaurants as well. There are a number of motels within the town and situated along the main highway. There are two large petrol stations, including one large BP petrol station. We believe that Taihape may also be a stop for the main-line Auckland to Wellington Railway... there is certainly quite a large railway station at the top of the town.

    Taihape is a lovely place to take family and participate in the gumboot throwing and picnics in the park. Swimming in Rangitikei river is amazing your family will love it too. It has everything you need like New World, Mobil gas station and a Mac Donalds for the grand children. The ranges and the landscape is deep and rich with so much history.

    The breakfast was excellent with choice of cereals, fruit, jam selection, toast, home made muffins and a range of teas and coffee. Nice crockery. Good table and chairs and outdoor seating. The area was peaceful and easy to drive to the property and park vehicle. A short distance from Taihape township with sheep and cattle nearby. No stairs to climb. Real NZ countryside. Owner was friendly and helpful. Nicely decorated inside and spacious bathroom, well presented.

    The Coachman has been a favourite of my wife and I over many many years whenever we travel North from Wellington. We have always found the motel friendly and operated by helpful staff. Close to town. We were very pleased to see that the great old 'Gumboot Manor Restaurant' which had closed some time ago, has found new ownership and re-opened as a great looking restaurant under a new name. It is only a couple of minutes walk from the Coachman

    Taihape motel is an older style establishment. This doesn't take away from the fact that the room was very clean, the double bed was very comfy, the shower was great. I stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The price for both nights was exceptional, for what I would have paid in other establishments in the area. If you want stop over for the night, this is the place to stay. Very helpful staff.

    The Gretna Hotel is perfect for an overnight stay. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the bed is comfortable, the sheets crisp, the towels thick and the shower hot. The hotel is old and probably in need of refurbishment but it is priced accordingly. We ate in the restaurant and they were very accommodating of my specific dietary requirements. Will stay again.

    Good value for a budget motel in a handy location for a 1 night stop-over. At short notice, we needed to break our journey heading south via Palmerston North to Otaki, and the motel and Taihape were well placed for that. Facilities were basic but clean and comfortable, and as we were instructed to leave dishes for staff to clean, the lack of a kitchen was not a problem.

    The room was absolutely huge! Everything was clean and easy to use. We had to change plans at the last minute due to road closures to Napier, and this hotel was available. Right next to a very good restaurant.
