“We absolutely loved our stay! Lydia was fantastic, always quick to respond to any questions, whether by phone or email. We visited for four days in late September, and although the weather was still crisp, coming back to relax by the open fire after hiking in Tongariro National Park was pure bliss. My adult son especially enjoyed the location for fly fishing, and walking along the river was so peaceful. If we travel through the North Island again, we’ll definitely be back for a few more nights. Thank you, Lydia, your accommodation gave us the perfect space to unwind and reconnect.”

Lovely Turangi escape

We really enjoyed our break in Turangi. The house was awesome. It was so well appointed, and comfortable. The roaring fire and proximity to the river were also appreciated. Thank you.
