Beautiful spot to stay in Turangi
Beautifully presented home. Very clean and tidy. Set up brilliantly like a home away from home with so many lovely extras. Lovely back yard and great off street parking. Only a short two minute walk to the lovely river and walkway. Great kids playground and park nearby for our grandchildren too. We would highly recommend this home to stay in. We definitely will again for a future Turangi visit.

Delightful Home to Get Away from It All
Beautiful home, in a beautiful setting. We truly enjoyed this well-kept, clean house with beautiful back yard. Plenty of room to spread out, full kitchen, large dining room, and living room for gathering together when you feel like it. Yet the place is large enough to retire to separate areas for privacy. Would have liked access to some hangers or drawer space for clothing but other than that - it was truly delightful! Beds were comfortable, and the location was just on the edge of town and down the road from a cafe where the locals hang out. Truly comfortable and private. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area. Hosts were easy to reach and very responsive for a breezy check-in. Many thanks!

A lovely place to stay in Turangi
We really enjoyed our stay in Turangi. The location is perfect - great for the riverside walking tracks and super close to the town centre. The house itself is great - super clean and spacious with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed the gardens and the fact that we could take our two small dogs with us.We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable holiday in Turangi.

Glorious spot for a getaway
At the risk of making it harder to book next time, this is an absolute gem of a property in a beautiful setting, close to the river and walks, with easy access to Tokaanu hot pools, the lake, the many local walks. Perfectly presented and immaculate, with a well appointed kitchen and everything you need for a family getaway. Recommended!

home away from home!
My parents and I loved this little house. Beautiful yard with a sunny patio to enjoy happy hour. Being close to Tongariro NP was the main purpose for choosing to stay here. it was a great retreat, very comfortable beds, all the amenities you need. And we loved the quietness of the street and the town. Highly recommend staying here!!

Beautiful home and garden on a gorgeous street walking distance to groceries and a pub and a cafe. We were here for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and with a car it worked perfectly. Clean and well equipped with a lovely deck and garden to enjoy a post hike drink in the sun. Loved it. Five stars all the way!
