    spacious apartment
    well-equipped kitchen
    serene environment
    window privacy issue
    minimal kitchen utensils

    The one bedroom apartment was spacious and very comfortable, with a large bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. I appreciated the serene environment, especially being just a short walk from the river. However, the large front window made it a bit tricky when it came to privacy, as it was either fully covered or completely uncovered, which was less than ideal. Overall, it was a satisfying place to stay while exploring the nearby hiking trails, especially the stunning Tongariro North Circuit.

    lovely grounds
    limited laundry facilities
    outdated décor

    The grounds were lovely, right next to the river.

    During our stay, we struggled with Wi-Fi connectivity which was frustrating, especially given that the lodge was fully booked. The laundry facilities were surprisingly limited with only one washing machine and dryer for multiple lodges, which was quite inconvenient. Additionally, the décor felt outdated, giving a vibe reminiscent of the 1970s, making us feel less inclined to enjoy our time there.

    soft bed

    The bed was softer than I prefer, but the grounds and kitchen were top-notch, and the space was warm.

    warm unit
    well-maintained garden

    Just a fine choice for a quick trip in Turangi with value for money. The warm unit had everything we needed, making our stay comfortable. Be sure to check out the well-maintained garden while you're there.

    spacious cabin
    clean grounds
    friendly staff

    The spacious cabin was extremely clean and the grounds were lovely, right next to the river. We loved the easy access to nature (such a breath of fresh air! ). Plus, the staff was super friendly and welcoming! Great coffee at the café too.

    Nothing negative to say.

    cozy unit
    clean accommodations
    outdoor dining area
    check-in delay

    Truly a great stay! The cozy unit was fantastically clean, with a delightful picnic area and outdoor dining space. Super close to the river for a chill walk and a hop to the shops made dining easy.

    The check-in process took a bit longer than expected, which felt a tad inconvenient.

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    convenient parking
    privacy issue
    large window

    The one-bedroom suite was super spacious, clean, and had a comfy bed that made crashing after a long day easy. I loved the covered terrace out front for chilling outside. The room had a fully stocked kitchen, which would be great for longer stays. Plus, I appreciated the parking spot right next to the apartment—made everything so convenient! Really cool to have Netflix, too! But the large front window felt a bit exposed when it came to privacy, which was kinda off-putting.
