    Pihanga Vista cottage is a spacious comfortable house. The hosts provided many extras, which were very welcome. About half an hour drive from Tongariro Park. Highly recommended if you have a car.

    A beautifully presented property and perfect for our needs. The breakfast provisions were an unexpected bonus, but a lovely touch. Without hesitation, I would stay again next year, but sad to see that the property is on the market.

After a busy day fishing, skiing, rafting, mountain biking or hiking the famous Tongariro Crossing come back to River and Ridge Getaway where a peaceful and stylish cottage awaits you. Relax in the trendy lounge overlooking the garden and the slopes of Mt Pihanga. At night cuddle up in the tv nook next to the cozy log fire or relax with a glass of wine in the evening sun on the deck whilst enjoying the beautiful views. You'll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of your busy life. The spacious one bedroom cottage is tailored to provide an unhurried haven by offering stylish modern furniture throughout. The cottage was fully renovated in June 2023 and offers a well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. The bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed with an electric blanket for the colder nights. The cottage is located in a quiet cul-de-sac.
We enjoy welcoming guests to Turangi, where the beauty of nature offers both relaxation and adventure. Our getaway provides a comfortable base to unwind, while also being a perfect place to explore all the outdoor experiences the region is known for.
