It's a great stopover location say between Auckland and Wellington but it's hard to find good food and the prices e.g. food and petrol reflect a lack of true competition and a feeling "well, you've got little choice"

A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo.
A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo. We stayed two nights and used it as our base for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, so it was perfect for that. Oreti Resort is about 14km from Turangi, so you definitely need a car for eating out etc.

We found plenty to do in our 3 day stay. We popped up to Taupo and went to Orakei korako. Then to beautiful lake Rotopounamu and walked around that. And did the picturesque river walk. We hired a rental car so we could look around easily. We could have easily filled in a whole week.

Central to some wonderful activities such as great rafting, the walk Tongariro crossing, Ruapehu. 'Up market' accommodation is very limited but if you can get into the Tongariro Lodge, it is excellent. Worth the extra cost. The locals are helpful and the town has a nice relaxed non-touristy feel; however avoid leaving your car parked overnight on a street. Shopping, apart from Groceries is limited.

Turangi is a lovely little town.
Turangi is a lovely little town. Not much going on in the actual town itself but has everything you need in terms of supermarkets etc. and easy access to the Tongariro Crossing and lots of other beautiful walks nearby. Recommend the Tongariro River Walk and Lake Rotopounamu walk too. Lovely swimming spots! I stayed for 4 nights in the end which was great. Recommend staying here! And also use Panda Shuttles to get to the Tongariro crossing or anywhere in the local area. Stay at Riverstone Lodge if you can!

The river is outstanding. Plenty of river walks and trails.
The river is outstanding. Plenty of river walks and trails. Easy access to Turoa and Whakapapa ski fields and to Waiouru Army Museum. We ate at the local Hong Kong Takeaway-big servings, fresh food and hot. Turangi is flat-so very easy to get around for walkers, bikers and vehicles. Set up perfectly for people who want to trout fish.
We had a good stay. The staff was very responsive. We had to call them because we needed support in opening the door and they arrived immediately. They also suggested us some amazing places to visit. There is parking available beside the lodge. The common areas and our room were clean, and the bed was comfortable. You can make yourself a tea or coffee in the kitchen. Because it was Christmas time, the staff prepared a box full of sweets for everyone to share.
Had to book at the last moment, so didn't have time to fully research the motel. It's an OK place, nothing particularily wrong with the place. A little dated perhaps. The parking for the room I stayed in was odd, as you parked around the back of the room, but the entrance was around the other side. Oh and NO AIR CON!! Great water pressure in the shower and good wi-fi.
It's spacious studio with car park conveniently in front of the door. In addition, a sunny backyard to enjoy the afternoon. Generally quiet and clean. We left my son's toy in the bed and the Rhett managed to find it and post it back to Wellington. Very nice experience with Judges Pool Motel. Thank you very much.
Lovely little hotel - old but the rooms were nicely refinished. Had a very friendly welcome by the owner and a relaxing stay overnight, the bed was very comfortable. The hot pools out the back would have been great but we decided not to use them as it was pouring rain at the time.
Excellent place to stay with family. If you don’t mind staying away from little further from town than this place is great. Turangi town was not that far tho. Taupo 45mins drive and Whakapapa about 50 mins drive. Basically you are staying at one end of Taupo lake.
Ideal location virtually in town center.
Smooth check in and check out, thank you.
Cannot comment on breakfast as there is no restaurant at this facility.
Content to stay again, and over the years have holidayed at Turangi Leisure Lodge several times.
The hosts were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast served was delicious and a great value. Location was great as Turangi is a good base to explore the Central North Island area (Lake Taupo, National Park etc).
Great little lodge for people who are in to fishing and being away from the crowds. Would be perfect for a weekend with friends. Loved the individual cabins with central restaurant/bar and reading/meeting area.
Excellent value for money. Very smart and clean. Very spacious. Cheaper than other motels in the area but you wouldn't think so when inside because it was smart and modern, with everything you need.
Great location, close to Turangi shops and not far from Taupo city centre.. enjoyed our stay, Tony is friendly, funny, and a great down to earth host.. definitely a place to recommend 👌
the best accomodation in Turangi and one of the best motels in the country. The location and the grounds make this an excellent option for all visitors to Turangi.
Well located place especially if going to Whakapapa. Nice and close to Turangi, easy access to the New World.
Very good price and the hot pools are amazing!
