Fisherman’s retreat in Turangi

This is a wonderful and attractive property. It well appointed with comfortable furnishings including quality beds, pillows and linen. It is well located near the river and far enough from the 24 hour noisy highway to be allow for a quiet stay and relax in the lovely garden.

Wonderful secluded location on leafy street close to the river. A great base for fly fishing or cycling the river trail. Also just a short drive to the lake. Has everything you need for a great stay. Keen to come back again.

Cottage was in a lovely location close to river. The bed was very comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The heat pump was wonderful too.

Most enjoyable. Thank you.

Really enjoyed our time. Wonderful location and would gladly recommend.

“We absolutely loved our stay! Lydia was fantastic, always quick to respond to any questions, whether by phone or email. We visited for four days in late September, and although the weather was still crisp, coming back to relax by the open fire after hiking in Tongariro National Park was pure bliss. My adult son especially enjoyed the location for fly fishing, and walking along the river was so peaceful. If we travel through the North Island again, we’ll definitely be back for a few more nights. Thank you, Lydia, your accommodation gave us the perfect space to unwind and reconnect.”

Well suited as a base for our fly fishing - perfect cottage and well equipped. Could not ask for better!

We had a wonderful time in Turangi and the bach was lovely. Check in was easy and communication was good. The bach was very comfortable, well located for walks and we enjoyed seeing the Whiro on the river.

Supper tidy and well renovated.... perfect weather for the week and the trout bitting well

Wonderful location - a classic fishing bach. Big open fire and excellent heat pump too.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and will definitely stay again - that says it all.It feels like home from home, warm and cosy and perfectly located to fishing and the village.

The property is very special. It's top quality throughout and across the street from the river. There was nothing I disliked about my stay. Highly recommended.

Great for fishing, relaxing and quiet home with all you need to be comfortable. Well stocked kitchen! Would recommend to anyone!

Nice spacious house in a quiet neighborhood. Big and beautiful garden. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Fresh linen.Overall cleanliness was not good. Front entrance and decks were full of leaves at arrival. Kitchen floor and stove knobs sticky. Kitchen cabinet and fridge filled with a lot of food. All already expired. Used underwear in bedroom cabinet. BBQ dirty with no .cleaning equipment available.Very strange that there are no garbage bins outside. All garbage must be brought to the local refuse station.

Great place - thsnks so much

Cottage is comfortable, clean and well equipped, location is fantastic, close to good fishing spots.

What a gorgeous restful spot with easy walk into town. Just off the river with a great walk along it. Highly recommended for a peaceful break

Was one of the most amazing stays we've ever had anywhere. This place was the getaway we needed. Amazingly comfortable home, well apportioned and had almost everything we could need. It was so close to everything we wanted to be close to and the one time I had a question the owner responded almost instantly. Will be back. Hopefully many many times.

Everything was great. A nice clean place with everything we needed. A very nice neighborhood and a great location -- close to Lake Taupo and Tongario National Park

My adult son and I loved the house. It was comfortable with all the amenities and could easily accommodate a much larger group. A great base for exploring the area.

We really enjoyed our break in Turangi. The house was awesome. It was so well appointed, and comfortable. The roaring fire and proximity to the river were also appreciated. Thank you.

Quaint family home in a great location next to the river. Beautiful garden views out every window and a lovely fire place. The kids enjoyed playing in the tree house and on tree swing. Immaculately kept inside and out. Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property.

A fabulous stay at Fisherman's Retreat for my partner's birthday celebration. Couldn't have wished for a better location, so close to the river! My partner fished every day & thoroughly enjoyed it. House was warm & cosy & had everything you need, great we could take our border collie too. We will definitely be back!

Superb house for myself and 2 mates, planned on fishing but the wind and rain mostly stopped that. Nice warm fire, lots of firewood, with a backup of the heat pump for early mornings. Great location across the road from the river

Was awesome to stay

We loved our stay at the Fisherman's Retreat, the house has a big fireplace and heat pump and made the house so warm and cozy. The location is fantastic for fishing, just over the road and you're on the river. Lydia was a fantastic host, quick to respond and we were lucky to be the first guests at the house. We will definitely be coming back and are looking forward to spending some time here in summer as the deck and gardens are beautiful and are made for summer BBQ's.
