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!
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!

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 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!
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.
The chalet was comfortable and clean, the staff was friendly and the internet worked well. On our 2nd day there we headed to Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the lodge prepared breakfast and packed lunch for us the day before - so it was easy for us to get organized at 5am in the morning of the trip!
Make sure to book time for dinner in advance as it can get fully booked fast.
The location is great. Not too far from Turangi for any goods need but quiet enough for a weekend chill. 1 minute walking to Taupo lake, which is beautiful.
We had booked the room in the last minute, just on Friday night and visited on Saturday, but everything is more than expect.
The motel is not big (~10 rooms I guess so) but the room is very clean and warm.
This Motel is in a nice prime spot! The staff are really working so well to provide exceptional service in the midst of the current labour and skill shortage in New Zealand. You can really see that. We really applaud the staff and owners for doing their very best both in the motel and the restaurant. Well done you guys!!!
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.
Tony is thehost with the most he is welcoming even though we arrived at midnight warm homley just like old school values not found in a lot of hotels motels etc he has a wealth of understanding an knowledge wow i really felt welcome Tony an We are going to stay again definently
Beautiful, clean and secure apartments with enough space for our children and us :).
Bonus game room amenities and mini putt for the kids. Felt like a luxurious holiday park vibe with all the extras on offer. Staff were super lovely and helpful. We will definitely be back.
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.
We had a lovely stay. We were there two nights for a hike in Turangi. The facilities were wonderful. It was roomy, clean and comfortable. The grounds were amazingly beautiful. Highly recommended.
Breakfast wasn’t being served due to the Lodge being in the Red Zone. We thought that a continental breakfast should have been available in the room to save a trip into Turangi for breakfast.
The hot pools are so relaxing. A great nights sleep after a dip in the pool. Rooms are well equipped and location is close enough to Turangi for a quick supermarket shop.
A clean motel with comfortable beds.Adequate facilities and close to Turangi township.A lovely friendly lady showed us to our unit.Very good value for money.E
