"We used this apartment as our base while in Turangi. While it wasnt the 'flashest' it was perfect for me and my sister. The place is very warm, comers with all the basics, and the sunrise from the balcony was picture perfect. It was also very well priced, probabaly the cheapest place around. We would definitely stay again."
