River Retreat in Turangi -Pets, Wi-Fi, wood burner for cooler days, spa, close to nature walks
Rapid River Retreat is located in Turangi with the river running along the end of the road.

This really is the perfect house to enjoy the outdoor paradise that surrounds, nature walks abound and you’re less than an hour from the mountain and 20 minutes from the Tongariro crossing.
