We had a lovely time here, perfect for our little family. Really beautiful walk along the river and so nice to sit in front of a cozy fire. Particularly good hot shower given our cold weather!

Top Turangi Choice

I'd guess it's our 4th or 5th stay, our preferred base when venturing down to try our luck on the rivers. Basic but everything we need is included. We really enjoy the heavy flow shower and the pre diner drink spot overlooking the river...remembering always to bring camp chairs. Thanks again for letting us stay.
