Turangi Tapere Holidays from NZ$1,512

For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel and staff were amazing especially our wonderful waiter Norman. Would definitely stay here again. Snorkelling just off the beach was awesome.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The standout was Rowena always with a smile to start your day, she has an incredible memory for names and for the guests preferences. Everyone appeared to enjoy their work and nothing was to much trouble for them. Food sunshine lying on the beach or sipping cocktails by the poolside they have it all.

Well equipped kitchen and bathroom

The room was great, with free WiFi and very comfortable beds. Everything was perfect, except for the noise from other guests next door. They were loud until 2 AM for three nights in a row, and complaining didn’t help. This was really disappointing.
