Location is secluded. Unit is split level upstairs - neighbors share a carport. Gorgeous views. Love the large balcony deck - would love an umbrella. Kitchen was big, well-supplied and convenient to use. Bathroom is on the smaller side but no issues. Furniture and fixtures are older but functional. Hands down, the gorgeous view is the winner

Everything was perfect. We wish we could've stayed longer! Just across the street from the lake, walkable distance from the rest of the town, super friendly hosts and exceptional property. It had literally everything we needed for a family of 3, and especially loved the bathroom with the heater and great amenities. The fresh bottle of milk was delicious as well!

Whitianga was a lovely place to walk around and explore.

Whitianga was a lovely place to walk around and explore. We especially enjoyed the museum, which was very informative and well presented. We stopped at the Blue Lagoon for a smoothie and some chips—the pear and lychee smoothie was particularly nice and refreshing. We finished the day at The Lost Spring, which was pleasant overall, although the water in the main pool was more tepid than hot.

I've always liked Turangi.

I've always liked Turangi. It has a lot to offer both in the town itself as well as the greater region. The shopping center is well laid out and provides everything you need including ample parking. There are takeaway and dining options to please most people. The New Word supermarket is well stocked and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Accommodation options cover every budget. Nearby Tokannu has great hot pools and a picturesque wharf. Omori is a lovely quiet lakeside village only a 15 minute drive from Turangi. Check out the rabbits on the lakeside grass reserves from late afternoon. The lost lagoon at nearby Kuratau Junction is well worth a visit with crystal clear water. Nature and scenery abound in and around Turangi. Well worth stopping rather than just passing through.

The town itself is small and friendly, but my main reason for being there was to explore the local landscapes, which were gorgeous, and the Driving Creek Railway, which was extraordinary, and really not-to-be missed if you're in the area. The story of how it was built over many decades through the dedication and drive of one man was deeply moving and inspiring. The trip to the top was unforgettable. I'd definitely do it all again if I had the chance!

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close.
