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.
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.

Horrible service at the new world.
Horrible service at the new world.
Will never set foot in the turangi tavern ever again, never felt so unwelcome in my life, I lasted less than 90 seconds before walking out.
Highly recommend the hare and copper.
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.
Lovely older style motel that has been well looked after.Facilities you might need were all there available.The motel is well laid out with colourful flowers in the garden areas.The lawn area is lovely to sit or for children to play on sunny days.Everything was clean and worked well in the motel.The beds were very comfortable.The motel is handy to Turangi shopping centre and there is a pizza cafe which has other meals on its menu just over the road.
We chose to stay at the Leisure Lodge as it was central to our activities for the weekend. We have been staying at the Lodge for nearly 40 yrs as it was our Timeshare and love Turangi and the area for it's proximity to the mountain for skiing and time out in Taupo. We love the set up of the old design with the Double bed downstairs and 2 singles up rather than just the double and it being upstairs.
Tony is an amazing host, helpful and friendly, great place to check-in and stay, also pet friendly, 10 minute drive to Turangi, Tony provides an array of many breakfast options which is provided. We enjoyed sitting and chatting out on deck with Tony and other guests sharing each others experiences. As hosts ourselves, we were more than happy with our stay.
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.
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.
Very clean, cozy, good location. The gardens looked perfect, they are doing a great job do keep the facilities gorgeous. Tongariro alpine Crossing 50 km away, for those in for fishing Tongariro river is just behind the corner as you simply get out from the lodge there.
Absolute value for money. Definitely a better option compared to other motels in the area. A VERY short walk to the shops. The accomodation had everything you would ever need for a short stay.
Sarah was the best host.
Definitely recommend this accomodation 👍
This place has everything for children and adults🙂 staff are really lovely, lots of fun things to do with the kids. They loved the friendly goats 🐐 at the back.
We ended up booking another 2nights here so all up 4 nights 🤗
Thank You Tokaanu Lodge Motel ✌
I loved the views from our apartment to lake Taupo, stunning!!
The apartment was large, tidy, quiet and had all the facilities you could need.
The restaurant and bar area was cosy and warm. The food was amazing.
Nice walk to the lake from the apartments.
We had a great stay, very private and quiet. The continental breakfast was an added bonus.
Very friendly hosts and we would definitely stay again.
We highly recommend Tongariro Lodge for dinner. Great food and it's only a few hundred metres away
Excellent point to break your journey on your way WLG -AKL . or specifically come there . Turangi is full of things for the nature lovers. When in Creel Lodge one is under towering old trees that makes one relax.
Great motel in Turangi, close to the river for morning walks. Good facilities, has everything you need. This is a quiet motel and we have stayed here four times now and we are never disappointed. We will come back.
Bonus of having hot pools on site
Location to skiing perfect
Location to other facilities and tourist attractions eg. Turangi, Tongariro Riverperfect
Nice and warm on a frosty morning
Extra blankets
The location is superb. The hot pools came in handy after a cold day in the ice and more importantly the children playground and the animal zoo were really a plus for a family friendly hotel.
The restaurant serving very good meals with the presentation of each course being as professional as you would get in any five star hotel in New Zealand
