Great place to stay for the Tongariro Crossing and Lake Taupo (if you have a car). Shar was a fabulous host -- every time we got back in the house after a long day there was a fire burning in the fireplace, so we could warm ourselves up. Besides that we were lucky to have the whole house to ourselves and we enjoyed the stay very much.

Great location and very beautiful home. The bed is very comfortable... I loved the warm cozy sheets. The tea, bread and cereal were a plus. I would definitely stay again!!! Thanks for having us Shar!!!

Shar's place is perfect for anyone who wants to do the Alpine Crossing. Although we had only booked a room, Shar let us use the whole place over the two nights. She even made us a fire in the evening to make sure we were warm and toasty. Her place is quiet, homely and value for money.

A lovely place to stay! Terri and her family are friendly and very helpful. The dogs are so cute ;-)

Enjoyed our stay in Terri's attic conversion, we were made to feel right at home.

没有电热水壶,没有垃圾桶,没有办法找到屋主,没有早饭,不会再去。

We stayed for one night, the room upstairs had everything we needed. Terri was friendly and gave us also tips for sightseeing and offered us breakfast too. Lovely stay!

Maison confortable avec une immense pièce de vie : plusieurs canapés , un poêle à bois , des magazines à lire . Cuisine très fonctionnelle et très bien équipée en matériel , ustensiles et vaisselle . Agréable découverte d'un coffre à jouets pour les enfants .

Nice cozy house, close to everything. Fireplace was great! I am from a hot tropical climate so I was very excited having a fire to cozy up to on the cold nights we had. Highly recommend.

Perfect place: Clean, quiet and fully e

Really great experience, clean and comfortable

An awesome modern spacious kiwi Bach with all the facilities you need! Great proximity to ski field and Taupo! Thanks for letting us rent the Trout Retreat!

We had a lovely stay. The river walk was fantastic

Very spacious, ideal for large families / groups. Great amenities, with fully equipped kitchen, washer / dryer, and parking. Check-in was quick and easy.

Kim is a lovely host with strong communication we had a last minute change to our booking which she accommodated with no hassle. The house is comfortable and located well to national park

森林里的小木屋,十分安静,虽然离陶波湖有十分钟车程,但是有另一番风景,可以沿着屋后的小河边步行探索大自然。

这个房子位置好,安静,风景好,干净,有品位,所有需要的东西都有,家具很有艺术感,房东是有品位的人,强烈推荐! This house is a good location, quiet, the scenery is good, clean, good taste, all things are very artistic, the furniture, the landlord is tasteful, strongly recommended!

Very nice place just beside the river which is perfect for fishing. Lovely town life

Had a fantastic stay at this place! Place was exactly as per description. Highly recommended to anyone ;)

The Trout lounge was a great cabin to stay at after a long day of travel down the forgotten highway! With 2 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a huge common area, we were quite comfortable. Just beware, the town stores and restaurants close early, many at 8pm, so be sure to stop in advance!

Great location, warm and inviting. Would recommend!!

We drove from Wellington to Auckland and this was such a wonderful stop over on the way through. Our children cheered when we drove in! Turangi is really quite posh. The scenery is glorious and the lodge itself is tastefully decorated. Great place for red wine and a plate of nibbles on the balcony.

The house is exactly as what it is described, sitting at the beautiful river in a quiet and convenient neighborhood. The house is very neat and clean and I can tell how much thought Julie has put into the details when he decorates this lovely house. It was a wonderful experience as my first stop in NZ. Thank you, Julie.

Perfect servise.

Linda and Prajot are the best possible hosts: nice and friendly, generous and warm. From the beginning you feel their cozy home as yours. They let you have your space and privacy, but also are ready for a nice and interesting talk while you play with Scout, their lovely puppy :) The breakfast is great, also. The perfect place to rest after your walk through Tongariro.

Great little room, just what we needed. Close to Tongariro crossing.

Linda and Prajot's home was warm and cosy. It was clean and the continental breakfast was lovely. It is situated close to the Tongaririo Alpine Crossing, so it was very convenient for us in the morning! We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed there one night, but it was really good. Calm and cosy place, perfect to relax

Definitely recommend staying with Linda and her husband.. We stayed the night before doing the Tongariro Crossing and they were sooo helpful and put us at ease by answering any questions we had. Their hospitality was INCREDIBLE!! Just a lovely couple..

Linda and prajot's place is amazing. Located 5mn walk from the I site in a very quiet neighborhood nearby a supermarket . The place was super clean, cosy and beyond everything Linda is extremely kind, made us feel at home. We didn't have the chance to meet prajot but I'm sure we will someday :D !! We absolutely recommend, our best airbnb experience.

We had a great stay with Linda and Prajot. They both are very warm, friendly & welcoming. Appreciate the great suggestions & tips from Prajot about exploring NZ. Comfy bed, everything's clean. Would definitely recommend.

Such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the nature. Nestled at the northern end of the park, it has a great greenery and a sweet puppy to play with. Breakfast was yogurt parfait and a professional level cappuccino, with bread and honey/jams. It was a great experience overall.

Maryke has the best positioned bnb in Turangi. This little gem is situated right on the river, with spectacular views of the mountains. A walking trail by the river is right outside your door, and yet it is private and secluded. It is so beautiful to hear the river run whilst lying in bed! Breakfasts are a substantial affair, with fruit salads (including some picked fresh from Maryke's garden ), fresh squeezed juices, yoghurts, etc. Cooked breakfasts are sensational! Excellent room amenities, including large modern bathroom with a huge shower. Turangi has no water restrictions and the showers are hot with plenty of volume. Great shower head. The room has a closet and private tea making facilities. There is a tv, and wifi is strong and consistent - no problems there. Bed is comfy, and bed linen and towels are of superior quality. There is also a conservatory / glass verandah for personal use overlooking the mountains. So relaxing. Maryke is a born host, and with many years experience of managing the Turangi Information Centre, she is the perfect host to advise on what to do in the area. Maryke has a sparkling personality, but is also respectful of needs and privacy. This place is both a delight and a bargain. Do yourself a favour!

Maryke made us really welcome and went out of her way to fit in with our arrival. The accommodation was great, easy walking distance to town. We food a great place to eat The Mustard Seed. It was a really good breakfast, nothing was too much trouble. She is a lovely, friendly person.

Perfect place for spending the night if traveling onward. Thermal hot springs not far away, and must go to soak if staying. Good value and pleasant company.

Maryke will go out her way to make you feel at home. We were even invited to her NYE party with her neighbours and friends! Good location, nice and comfortable and the cutest dog to boot.

Maryke is the perfect host - knowledgeable and attentive. Her house is right next to the river and the views are lovely. The room and breakfast were excellent. Locally we enjoyed the pub and the hot pools. All in all a very pleasant visit.

Had a wonderful stay with Maryke, was more than accommodating, helped us out so much and very informative/friendly

Mayke's place is fantastic. It is right on the Tongariro River with walking trails along the river and great fishing. It is very quiet with the sounds of birds singing and the river running by. Also, her house is very comfortable with lots of space. The bathroom has a wonderful shower. The breakfast she privided included homemade yogurt, poached eggs on toast and espresso.

Quiet and peaceful surrounding, only 2min drive to nearby supermarket. 40min up to Mt ruapehu. very good location for people going up for skiing.

My husband and I stayed in The Boathouse while visiting Tongariro National Park. It is very spacious and would be great for a family as it could easily sleep 6 people. There are two bathrooms, each with its own shower. We used the kitchen to prepare simple meals and it had everything that we needed. There is also a washer and drier if you need to do laundry. We were thankful we checked in before dark as the gate was a bit challenging to master but follow the directions that Jeff will give you and all should go well. There is no internet in the Boathouse but if you need it Burger King just down the road has access...we needed it to make some travel plans.

A well equipped apartment

Great location to access the National Park, Tongariro Crossing etc Super easy instructions on how to get into the house and Jeff made it work last minute for us which was awesome.

The Boathouse was a great place for us to hang our hat for the 2 days we were in Turangi. The location is well suited for those doing things in and around the area. We had the place to ourselves so we did not see the owners but the instructions for getting in were clear and easy to follow. We let Jeff know the day before we arrived that we were going to be there on schedule and he had the housekeeper turn on the hot water for us. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of equipment for cooking and we did not need to purchase any soap to clean our dishes. The bed was comfortable with nice sheets to crawl into and the bed had plenty of blankets to keep us warm. Even though Jeff was not around he was a great communicator while we were there. We had a couple of questions and he got back to us right away. We really liked our stay at the boathouse and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for accomodations in Turangi.

The Boathouse is a perfect unit to stay in for a long weekend away. It is as the photographs and very comfortable. It is easy to find- especially with the good communication with Jeff and all the information that was given. Turangi, is a great base for exploring the surrounding areas of Taupo and the mountains. It is mid winter now, but I am sure no matter what season you come to the Boathouse there will be many things to do and areas to explore. I happily recommend Jeff and the Boathouse and if I have the chance in the future, I would stay there again.

This was a neat and comfortable home and the beds were very comfortable. There is a lot to do in the area and the location is perfect--close to town but also near the highway for accessing Tongariro national park and the lakes.

Great accommodation. We stayed for two nights and we had everything we needed except there was no WIFI. The beds are comfy and heating system is great for cold weather. Overall, I recommend Jeff's place.

We arrived at the cabin and were greeted by a large cockroach, unmade beds, stained walls, and a general feeling of uncleanliness. With two small children I did not feel comfortable staying there, because they touch everything. We left and found different accomodation. Bruce did issue a full refund immediately upon request, which I appreciated. I would not recommend this property to anyone who is used to a basic level of cleanliness and comfort.

Awesome place to stay! Nice warm house, very accessible to restaurants and supermarket. Loved it!!

Very good location and near to all animates

A quaint little batch that takes you back in time. Only have to hope across the road to go fly fishing, a short walk into town or along the Tongariro River Walk.

The host canceled this reservation 86 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Perfect place to stay if your going to ruapehu and nice view...

Nice place, the amenities are plenty given the price, would stay again

We used this family batch as a base for trips around the area. Good location. It was all we needed, really. The house was clean and there was plenty of space for all of us. We are happy with our stay.

Great stay

Great communication, the house is very big, extra clean, kitchen well equiped, children love the trempoline. It was ideal to do the Tongariro alpine crossing. Just a little too close to the main road for our night standart.

Nice, warm, big home. Close to the mountain and crossing. Awesome

Great place. Plenty of space and beds. Good location - close to central turangi and under an hour to the Tongariro Crossing. Sam is quick and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend.

Sam was super responsive, we ended coming back for a second night since bad weather delayed our Tongariro Crossing voyage (~30 mins from the house). House was spacious and comfortable.

It was a great stay in Sam's house. You can tell how much considerate they are by finding the BBQ stick and baby milk bottle in the kitchen! Really impressive and highly recommended!!!

Great house... We like it. Thanks for everything....

Very nice! 非常好,性价比高,还有真正的壁炉!

Such a nice place and so good host. Clean and so comfortable bed :)

Shar and Mike are one of the loveliest people I met in New Zealand..:) very friendly and accommodating.. the room was clean and you have everything what you need.. :)

Shar was helpful and helped me to receive a parcel even before I checked in. Nice breakfast was prepared for us before we head for the tongariro alpine. Even gave us a good recommendation for dinner.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Riverway Retreat, located just 1 min away from the Tongariro River Trail. My room was spacious and I had my own bathroom during my stay. A nice breakfast was included with bread, yoghurt and muesli. Also water, milk, coffee and tea are provided. Shar and her husband are very nice people and made me feel very welcome and checked in regularly if everything is fine or if I would need anything. At the same time due to a separated entrance and own bathroom you do have a lot of privacy. As a matter of fact, I needed to find a room in Turangi short termed as another AirBnB host cancelled my booking 2 hrs before check-in and Shar was available on the afternoon of Easter Sunday to still arrange the booking and prepare the room for me on a very short notice. So she saved my Easter Weekend at the Tongariro National Park. I was also supported with some hints and suggestions what to do in the area and where to eat. I would definitely book the room again and can recommend it to other travelers.

Nice, quiet place on the river side of Turangi, State Highway 1 easily accessible and close to the town centre. Room was comfortable and private with a great little continental breakfast and good facilities. Perfect base for exploring the lake, river and surrounding area, or as a base to access the National Park.

Nice place. Very close to the city center but still very quite. Beautiful garden. Unfortunately the dishes were not clean but the host took care about it in no time.

The house was quiet, spacious and well equipped providing a good base for a small group visiting Tongariro National Park. Whilst we didn't meet Nicola directly her communications were detailed and allowed us to feel welcome and at home.

We really enjoyed our stay in Nicola's Bach. It is tidy and spacious (I stayed there with my wife and daughter). Good kitchen, fast internet, good beds, nice garden: perfect stay. Excellent location to visit the National Park and do Tongariro Crossing. Unfortunately we didn't meet Nicola (she lives somewhere else) but she was easy to communicate with and responds very fast. For future guests: please keep in mind that you are expected to bring your garbage to the disposal station 5 minutes away. You have to separate it there by hand so make sure you schedule in some time for this.

We needed to be between Taupo and Tongariro and Nicola's place was the perfect option. Clean, safe and cozy ( it has a fire place for those cold nights) The communication prior to arrival with the instructions was spot on, we knew everything we needed to know about the house. We for sure recommend it.

The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

What a lovely place the Walnut Cottage is to stay! This place feels like home away from home. Complete with all the essentials in the kitchen to cook a fantastic meal. The fire was very cosy and heated the house quickly. Great communication from Nicola. All in all would recommend as a place to stay. Close to the mountain and other beautiful spots in the Taupo District.

The place is very lovely and a great location for hiking in tongariro national park. The cottage was clean and comfortable and I would recommend this place

Great apartment for 4-8 people. Well suited for families or backpackers

Maison simple, les petites attentions pour faciliter la cuisine, comme de l huile , de la confiture pour le petit déjeuner auraient été appréciées.

Great location if you are doing the Alpine Crossing. It is very clean, spacious and warm. Would recommend both for long and short stays.

This cottage is very roomy! The beds were nice and everything was in good condition. FYI, there is one toilet and one shower, in separate rooms. We really enjoyed staying 4 nights in Turangi. We had great access to hiking, hot pools, and a reasonable drive to Waitomo to see glow worms!

Trout Cottage is a great little house and perfect for a weekend get away, especially if you want a base for the Tongariro Crossing. The house is equipped with everything you need and immaculately presented. The host was awesome to deal with; our numbers changed a couple of times and all changes were responded to quickly and without issue. Thanks Bronwyn!

We enjoyed our stay at Trout House. It was on a quiet leafy street and clean with good amenities - and a lovely front porch area perfect for sitting for a casual breakfast or dinner. Bronwyn was a good host who responded promptly. Would stay again.

A great little place to stay for a few days skiing. Very clean, warm and cosy. Big enough for 2 families to stay comfortably. Very handy to ski fields, center of town and all local amenities and attractions.

Situated in Turangi the Pink Retreat is in a great location for exploring both Taupo and Tongariro. The house provided us with a comfortable stay and the kitchen was well stocked with the utensils to cook your own meals.

The Pink resident is a old house, but you have everything you need. For making the Tongariro Crossing it's a good place to sleep!

Good place to stay !

We did not have a good experience at the Pink retreat, it was very cold and not clean. There is also no shower, only a bathtub with separate hot and cold taps. Good for a one night stay if other options are not available.

Had a great stay here. Lots of help from the host.

He was away and never met he or his "Manager". Was indifferent to our problem of lack of breakfast. Property was poorly maintained and quite filthy. Location as expected. Description ok.

Thanks for a comfortable stay. Rebecca was lovely and very responsive.

Uma's place was very comfortable. We spent only a few hours at his home but it was great. Very clean and nice, near from Tongariro.

Lovely home. Enjoyed our stay :)

Great house in turangi. Awesome hot tub, great kitchen and lots of beds and rooms. Setting although on highway is set back from road and separated by heaps of bush which is full of bird life . We would definitely stay again . Ideal for the crossing

It is lovely place.... Close to the supermarket... great host of Kara.... I will be there soon again.....

Great and affordable place to stay. Thanks Kara!

It was a really nice place to stay at! Kara was very helpful with everything and the location is really good!

This is a very well equipped holiday home/bach perfect for walking holidays or for fishing trips. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and it is only a short walk from Turangi village centre. Everything you could want for a short or longer break.

Great place! Smooth check-in/check-out. Just as described.

Deborah's place was great. Close to Township, had all amenities. Highly recommended and will stay again!

Perfect place for a getaway. Well equipped, very clean, plenty of room. Well situated close to town and river. Recommend white water rafting for adults or with older children -great local operation.

Easy to find and get settled. Clean and comfortable, everything we needed.

Deborah's place is a very good value. There were a few minor, very simple issues which she addressed immediately. The value was amazing and it was close to all the town had to offer.

The Trout Hideaway is one of those gems that you read about and hope to come across! The interior decoration, attention to detail in the kitchen, and overall livability of the residence was superb. Great location for making the Tongariro Crossing or for accessing the local lakes and steams. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to restaurants and the supermarket. Definitely a great stay!!!

Deborah's place was great! Very close to the town center. The house was exactly as advertised. Very clean and neat upon arrival. The kitchen had everything you would need to make dinner and the fire place worked great as well. We really enjoyed our stay there and would love to stay there again if we are ever in Turangi.

Everything was alright, I really enjoyed my stay. Bex's home was my base camp for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, it is well situated for that, especially if you book with a company who picks you up in Turangi.

Bex's place is close to Tongariro NP and the southern end of lake Taupo. The room is as shown on the picture and the house is very clean. Bex has two young kids who are well behaved.

Bex and her 2 children are very friendly. We had a nice stay. From the air bnb it is 20/30 minutes drive to Tongariro National park.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin mit tollen Kindern und schönem Garten incl. Terrasse.

We enjoyed a lot to stay at Brex' house. They are really welcoming, the kids are friendly and it's close to the Tongariro Crossing. The only problem we'd like to mention is that it was quite cold during night in our room.

Bex is really sweet and hives her best to raise her young children. She is willing to discuss and help if she can w (my frirnd was getting sick and she offered medicines). Nevertheless i would not recommand that accomodation to travellers who wish to be calm and independant. Children are running around in the house and you do not really have a private calm place to rest in apart from the room.

Worst Airbnb experience I've ever had. Bex wasn't there when we first arrived, not answering her phone. Not welcoming. No breakfast provided, only coffee. It was also super cold in the whole house. Only good point : 45min away from Tongariro crossing start point.

I had a great stay. Bex was a fantastic host and I had everything I needed. Her young daughters were friendly and well-behaved. Thanks again!
