The hotel is located within a commercial complex in the centre of the town, easy to park and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around. The stuff members are all very friendly. We liked the room - very modern, spacious, comfortable beds, nice toiletries..... The room was on the 1st floor, facing to the parking space, but it was quiet at night. Highly recommended if you are travelling

Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

Please go the Hamilton Gardens - even if you don't have green fingers - its not that kind of garden. Its art! It's different cultures and ways of living.

I've always liked Turangi.

I've always liked Turangi. It has a lot to offer both in the town itself as well as the greater region. The shopping center is well laid out and provides everything you need including ample parking. There are takeaway and dining options to please most people. The New Word supermarket is well stocked and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Accommodation options cover every budget. Nearby Tokannu has great hot pools and a picturesque wharf. Omori is a lovely quiet lakeside village only a 15 minute drive from Turangi. Check out the rabbits on the lakeside grass reserves from late afternoon. The lost lagoon at nearby Kuratau Junction is well worth a visit with crystal clear water. Nature and scenery abound in and around Turangi. Well worth stopping rather than just passing through.

Raglan is a lovely beach town. It’s fun to walk around and look at the shops. Lots of great food options in town. There are great day trips from there, too! Kawhia Hot Water Beach was awesome! Bridal Veil Falls cannot be missed. Te Toto Lookout is a wild drive but the view is incredible.

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
