We were passing through Turangi while visiting the national park. This is a small town, the motel is a good place for a short stay. It is small but clean. It is quite as well. Receptionist is professional and courteous and helpful. We appreciate the tips he gave us.

Excellent value for money. We only stayed overnight while passing through but were very happy with the 2 bedroom unit. Not far from the main road, yet nothing to hear but the songs of the local tuis.
