We spent Easter at the Turangi Leisure Lodge in a two bedroom unit. It was at the opposite end of the facility to the reception and pool etc but it wasn't an issue (just a short walk) and we were glad not to be near the pool. There was a new looking cafe opposite as part of the rock-climbing centre/backpackers.... More

We stayed for a week in a renovated one bedroom unit, near the pool area. It was clean and modern. We were pleasantly surprised. The kitchen was very well equipped - two burner hob, mini oven, microwave, fridge freezer and plenty of crockery, cutlery and other kitchen equipment.Try the free sachet of plunger coffee - very good! Only downside was... More

Before heading on our holidays, I Googled this lodge and had some reservations on what to expect. I was wrong, the lodge was absolutely wonderful, the unit was excellent the facilities were great. The only downer is that there is nothing happening in Turangi. We had to travel 50km everyday to Taupo, which was OK. If you just want to... More

Stayed for a week in a 2BR unit in mid-May 2012... CONS: the heated pool was still pretty cold, internet was available, but you had to pay extra for it. PROS: The staff was outstanding, the unit was modern, comfortable and clean. Other reviewers noted issues with noise, which was not something I noticed. Maybe it is a time of... More

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.

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
