Motuoapa Bay Holiday Park, hotel in Turangi

Whether you are looking to stay in a self-contained motel or in a more unique accommodations type such as a retro kombi cabin, or a boat house themed bungalow, Motuoapa Bay Holiday Park has all 3.

Absolutely wonderful ‘holiday park’! We stayed in one of the cabins (SKI), and it was lovely! The most comfortable and ‘stylish’ place I stayed in New Zealand during my long journey. I love how they paid attention to details and actually put effort into making it extra pretty and cozy! It was spotless and spacious, with kitchen and outdoor seating. So well-maintained! It’s on the lake, which was so peaceful… would highly recommend it!

Olive Rabbit - Boutique Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Turangi

Olive Rabbit - Boutique Bed & Breakfast in Turangi provides adults-only accommodations with a spa and wellness center, an open-air bath, and a garden.

Breakfast was excellent. Associated with the Hare and Copper, which is an amazing restaurant, in our opinion. Hosts were very friendly, with a little guidebook to attractions in the area. They also help with advice and bookings for local activities. One of the best places we've ever stayed.

    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.

    This is a little gem. Family friendly and great for us old folks too, with simple, private hot pools and a covered, outdoor hot pool with cooler outdoor above ground pool. Wonderful for star gazing, The chalets are a reasonable size, comfy bed and the laundry and Wi-Fi are free, essential for us independent travelers. We drove out for a trip and immediately passed the steaming cliffs and stopped at wonderful reed bedded beach, by lake Taupo. The drives from Whakatani to Turangi and on to Wellington, are stunning.

    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.

    Creel Lodge is well away from SH1 traffic noise which is a great blessing in Turangi. The unit felt spacious, private and cozy. It had been prepared to welcome me - milk in the fridge, heating and lights on. The bed was comfortable, kitchen well equipped, bathroom excellent, furniture in lounge really good quality. There was even a newspaper at my door in the morning, a great touch. I'll definitely stay there again - I've struggled for years to find somewhere nice in Turangi.

    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.

    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.

    I needed somewhere to pass the night as I drove north. I booked quite late on-line and arrived in Turangi after 9 pm. However, my booking had lodged and a room was ready for me.
