    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!

    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.

    Braxmere Lodge is located on the south shore of beautiful Lake Taupo, right the waters edge. It is an hours drive from Taupo, 10 minutes from nearest shops and restaurants in Turangi. So it a gorgeous and isolated setting. The unit was spacious and tidy and newly renovated. The king sized bed was very comfortable. There was a microwave, large fridge, and good range of basic tea and coffee making options. Look at the view from outside the lounge in our unit in the photograph below.

    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.

    Clean, comfortable & a most helpful staff. The rooms appear to have been recently upgraded from what looks like an older building structure on the outside. The exterior grounds were under construction for renovation while we were there, but we were very happy with our overall stay. The hotel is only a 20 minute drive from the Tongariro Crossing Car Park.

    Loved the 'fresh, hot water pool' and would've preferred the mineral pool. Hopefully the other three pools did have people in it rather than they closed the door rather than leave it open when finished. Lovely location close to my friend's house at Waihi Beach. Didn't get to encounter the rest of Tokaanu. Definitely needs to be another visit.

    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.

    Hosts accomodated our late arrival. Clean and fresh units with no over-fragrancing. Their hot pools are one of our favourites. Very lovely beds, comfy, clean, warm, fresh. Nice bedding. A big plus for us is the unit didn't have over powering fragrance or cleaning product smells.

    Peaceful location close to the Tongariro River but off the main road, but also not far from Turangi township. A traditional motel at which the unit was very clean and well-equipped. Friendly owners who are busy refurbishing. Small deck area at the back of the unit is a nice addition.

    We loved the setting of Creel Lodge. It would be perfect for a large family gathering or a group of friends traveling together. People could rent multiple cabins but still gather in shared outdoor spaces. So cool! Our room was tidy and the restaurant/ cafe on site is really good!!

    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.
