Wonderful Trip

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The place was clean, comfortable and in a great location close to the lake with an amazing back patio where we ate all our meals. Barb was great to correspond with and even mailed us something that we left behind. Could not have asked for better accommodations or a better host! Would definitely recommend!

Great little bach

Excellent location, has everything we needed - very short stroll to the lake with a lovely sunny covered deck for evening BBQ’s. Third bedroom with bunks is very small if a family is staying.

Why they chose this property

Our Tongariro Adventures Lodge is a sheltered sun trap, surrounded by bush and bird song, yet only 100 metres from the beautiful Kuratau beach of Lake Taupo.
Strategy for dealing with Covid-19.
What Tongariro Adventures will provide our Guests:
1. Linen: All bed linen and bath towels are freshly washed and dried through a process called thermal disinfectant, where the temperature reaches a level that will not allow the spores of the Covid-19 to survive. This process is approved by ‘Assure Quality,’ the overseeing body of the food quality industry.
2. Sanitation of surfaces: In accordance with best practice as required by the Ministry of Health, all heavy use surfaces, including bathroom surfaces, power switches, door handles, table tops, cabinets are cleaned and sanitised by our trained staff.
3. Hand Sanitiser: Freely available to all guests during their stay. Tongariro Adventures supports the International protocol of self-care through correct hand washing to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
