Tongariro River Retreat, hotel in Turangi

Located in Turangi, 30 miles from Mount Ruapehu, Tongariro River Retreat provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Two months later and I still remember this retreat as my favorite place I stayed in NZ. The owner, Ian, is exceptionally kind and friendly. He really tries to facilitate friendships between the guests, and gives great advice for the Tongariro crossing as well as other activities in the area. Overall the place has a genuine, easygoing, and social atmosphere that (imo) is not commonly found. I extended my stay here and could have stayed longer!

Cute and affordable motel close to Turangi. Spacious & quiet, with clean, comfy beds, nice shower & kitchenette. Loved the rural surroundings and all the birds. Good proximity to the Tongariro crossing. It was a really comfortable place to recover the day after our hike and drink tea on a rainy day!

    Turangi has many interesting outdoor activities, and it is in the central North Island with mountains, rivers, Lake Taupo nearby, but we were just passing through and for us it was a place to break the long journey, rather than a destination in itself.

    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 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!

    I wanted an economical weekend trip over Waitangi weekend and this motel was ideal because it was very good value, half the price of similar motels in Taupo, yet only 45 minutes drive from Turangi to Taupo. It's a great central location. The staff at the motel were friendly and the accommodation was spacious and warm.

    Tony's Lodge was a perfect stopover on the drive up from Wellington to Auckland. It's right next to Lake Taupo, so beautiful walks avaliable right around the corner. Only 15 minute drive from Turangi (grocery store and takeaways). Tony is a lovely host, and his pet-friendly accommodation is very clean and tidy.

    You stay under shady trees with marvelous bird song. Pipiwhararoa (shining cuckoos) sang to me as I sat on my deck having a cup of tea. You can walk along the Tongariro River just through the back gate and watch the anglers casting for trout. This is my absolute favourite motel in New Zealand.

    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.

    Great value for money. Nice thermal pools. Special trailer boat parking space. Loads of room to practice fly fishing. Comfy beds. Location is handy to Turangi and only about 40 minutes from Taupo. Great to see progressive reinvestment in the premises. We'll be back again.

    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.

    The views are amazing looking out over Lake Taupo. In general the apartment was comfortable and convenient. The location is close enough to the ski fields for a day of skiing or to the mountains for hiking.
