Top Turangi Hotel Reviews

Tongariro Riverside holiday house

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, real Kiwiana."

The Grove Turangi

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great, room was spacious and clean. For check in we never received our email with code for the lock box to get our key. We spent an hour parked in front of our unit messaging the owner and Hotels.com(which was a disaster and waste of time) before finally getting a response from the owner. Other than the check in communication issues the rest of the stay was great."
