The Grumpy Trout Lodge; let the adventure begin!

Welcome to the ‘Grumpy Trout Lodge’! Your cosy, modern home away from home on State Highway One, 5 minutes driving distance South of Turangi where you will find all amenities, cafes and restaurants. This is a high quality accommodation, specifically built for your ultimate comfort and experience. The #outdoors is on our #doorstep. Choose your activity. We are in the midst of it!

Featuring underfloor heating in the entrance way and both bathrooms. Open plan living with modern, quality kitchen and dining, as well as a cosy lounge area with fire place. Two bedrooms with king size beds that can be converted into comfortable singles and a sofa bed in the entrance area for the extra person or guest. Whatever your activity, The ‘Grumpy Trout’ is only minutes away from the action; fly fishing, mountain biking or tramping. Red Hut Bridge Pool and the Tongariro River walking and biking trail are within walking distance. A mere 45 minutes’ drive to Tongariro National Park with walking tracks catering for all capabilities, and the same distance to Whakapapa Ski Field for all those winter activities. For the more adventuresome, the beginning of the Tongariro Alpine crossing is 20 minutes from the front gate. To make your experience extra special there will always be plenty of firewood. Outside is a covered fish cleaning and fish smoking area as well as a drying/storage room for your outdoor gear. In the drying room there is also a clothes dryer. Wifi is provided by Starlink. In the lounge, a TV-monitor and a DVD-player for movie nights with a generous DVD librarywhere. Chrome casting and TV is not available.

We are happy to welcome your pets (as in dogs), but as a courtesy, please consult with us beforehand. We do have a dog ourselves, Ziggy, a huntaway x. There is no kennel available for outdoor dogs. Our property has got a 30 meter deer fence towards State HighwayOne. Surrounding the rest of the property is a stock-standard wire-fence 90cm high with gaps of 25x33 cm. A very agile dog could jump it. Small, slim and curious dogs could get through it. When vehicles enter or leave the property, any pet needs to be managed.

During long weekends, we prefer a booking of a minimum of 3 days, and during Christmas and New Year, 4 days.
