Great weekend, home away from home. My family and l love staying here, and we hope to stay again in the near future. Easy communication with our host, close to all amenities. See you in the New year.
Just as described, this is a great holiday home in Turangi with everything you need for an enjoyable stay! The house was warm and inviting, nice and close to the Turangi shops and playground.

Great to hear your enjoyed yourselves the second time around. Thank you for leaving the place lovely and clean and tidy. We would love to have you back.
Great property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We'd definitely recommend this to others and we'd like to stay here again. Pity about the neighbours dogs barking all night sometimes.
First visit to Turangi, we found it a great little town with good amenities. Lots of walks to do in the area.The bach was an excellent place to stay, clean and well kept, easy access, and great value for money

About the host
Hosted by julia
We are a family of five that loves getting away to the out doors. We love all that Turangi has to offer as a family holiday destination. The river and lake fishing, mountain biking, village dining, skiing, hot pools and various other more touristy attractions. We use our place as a technology detox so no WIFI. It is time to read a great book ( excellent library in town)play traditional family board games and share conversation. We recommend walking down to the river and breathing the fresh air.
Why they chose this property
Look this is a family bach in every sense of the word. It is well maintained and nice an clean but we do expect you to have a similar holiday to ours. That does mean leaving the place as you found it, replacing what you use and disposing of your own rubbish. We are confident you will have a really awesome time in Turangi and our bach is a really great base. We love it when people see things that need to be done when they are there and let us know about it so we can see to it. Some really awesome people might even do a bit of weeding in the garden or replace a battery for us when they are there. It is all appreciated to keep the place ticking over and keep the price right down.

Mountains - ideal base for Tongariro Crossing, 40 minutes from the Whakapapa ski fields
