We stayed at Turangi Leisure lodge over the Christmas period. It was our fourth stay at the resort and we are now seriously considering buying a unit here. The unit we stayed in was a two bedroom unit adjacent to the resort swimming pool. This is our favourite unit in the complex. Since we stayed there last year the unit... More

We stayed about 6-7 years ago, so it was good to see a serious refurbishment. All new appliances and change of bedroom upstairs layout. Good facilities. Noisy at night with proximity to main road. More

Stayed there in December 2011 in a one bedroom remodelled unit. The back of the unit and the bedroom window faced the highway and we could hear every truck (and there were plenty of those day and night), cars and motorbikes passing very loudly even with the window closed. The noise was so loud that we could not open the... More

We enjoyed staying here. Lois is so nice and made us all feel welcome The use of the amenities were fantastic - drying room for our ski gear, laundry for all our washing. I recommend not overpacking as you end up wearing the same clothes you wash daily. We went with our kids and friends and they loved the games... More

We stayed at the Turangi Leisure Lodge during the end of Nov 2010 and we were really impressed with how the newly remodeled town home like room. Split level with the the bedroom up top. Half of the units are completely remodeled with new everything. We were lucky to get one of the newest ones. The host brought local guides... More

We had a great vacation, the location, resort and staff were wonderful. This place is in the middle of the north Island and we did some driving around, hiking, got out on Lake Taupo, did some fishing and we heard skiing is great there also in the winter. Our unit was great, we had no problems with parking or security... More

We had a pleasant stay at the Lodge and Lois (the Manager) was very helpful, however the stay was marred by the apartement being broken into on our second night there. The windows were not of a very high standard of security. Local thieves stole some valuables including Mac Air Laptop, ipod, two phones and an iphone, binoculars and a... More

Our stay at the Lodge was a pleasant one. The manager, Lois Carson, was very helpful and accommoding. When we arrived it was golf week which allowed us to meet many people and have the opportunity to play a few golf courses in the area. Perfect week if you are a golfer. Our unit was very comfortable and certainly was... More

We were so happy to have arrived at the Turangi Leisure Lodge when we got to New Zealand. We flew into Aukland and had to drive 5 hours to Turangi, we were exhausted. The reception was wonderful. We were greeted by a kind, friendly receptionist who was waiting for us to arrive. Our rooms (we were upgraded because we were... More
