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!

We really enjoyed our stay at Creel Lodge. The room was very nice and clean, we had separate bedrooms, living area and kitchen, and porch. If you walk to the back of the property there is a private gate that leads to a nice walk by the river. The lodge is also close enough to take a short walk into the main town area where there is a grocery store and restaurants. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

The whole place was clean and homely. The breakfast was more than enough, the hot tub was an added bonus . We watched the stars even on a cloudy night. There was nothing to dislike.👍

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!
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.
Turangi and TBM never disappoints. we had a great weekend out on the bikes during the day and sat down to dinner with front row seats to watch the Black Ferns. A new chef brought a fresh approach to the great dinner menu and breakfast will keep you going all day. The staff are always so welcoming and hard working. Charlie runs a great team and Val and Catherine greeted us like old friends.
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.
The apartment we were in was lovely light and spacious.The reception staff member went out of her way to find an apartment with better TV reception which was very much appreciated.Everything was clean and tidy with necessay facilities available.Both the bed and couch were comfortable.The motel is within walking distance to Turangi shopping centre.
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.
The owners are so nice and friendly. We also love the family swimming pool since we have a kid. The apartment is clean, very comfortable and homey. We will definitely come back and stay again in Tokaanu lodge motel when we go for a holiday within the area... 😊😊😊
I honestly enjoyed this little motel. It was exceptionally clear! It was neat and had everything we needed. The hot pools were a bonus and we used them twice. The linen and towels were nice and white and clean. It was perfect for us. Thank you Rainbow Motel
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 👍
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
We stayed two nights here during school holiday. The room is very clean and super comfy. I will rank it on the top B&B in Turangi with a very reasonable price. Luckily, we may be the first guest to use the new cedar hot tub. Highly recommended.
Lovely location, remote enough to feel immersed in nature but a short drive to either Taupo or Turangi to do all tourist activities. Cabin was clean, warm and cozy . Has all the basics for a simple lifestyle
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.
We have a wonderful and relaxing stay in Turangi bridge motel! Rooms are all relaxing and so clean as well as the whole place... will definitely come back here! Very recommendable!
the best accomodation in Turangi and one of the best motels in the country. The location and the grounds make this an excellent option for all visitors to Turangi.
