A lovely place to stay in Turangi

We really enjoyed our stay in Turangi. The location is perfect - great for the riverside walking tracks and super close to the town centre. The house itself is great - super clean and spacious with everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful spot to stay in Turangi

Beautifully presented home. Very clean and tidy. Set up brilliantly like a home away from home with so many lovely extras. Lovely back yard and great off street parking. Only a short two minute walk to the lovely river and walkway. Great kids playground and park nearby for our grandchildren too. We would highly recommend this home to stay in. We definitely will again for a future Turangi visit.

Delightful Home to Get Away from It All

Beautiful home, in a beautiful setting. We truly enjoyed this well-kept, clean house with beautiful back yard. Plenty of room to spread out, full kitchen, large dining room, and living room for gathering together when you feel like it. Yet the place is large enough to retire to separate areas for privacy. Would have liked access to some hangers or drawer space for clothing but other than that - it was truly delightful! Beds were comfortable, and the location was just on the edge of town and down the road from a cafe where the locals hang out. Truly comfortable and private. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area. Hosts were easy to reach and very responsive for a breezy check-in. Many thanks!
