Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot for a relaxing stay in Turangi Our family group (4 adults, 3 kids & a dog) we comfortably catered for in this house. It is a great location near the river (great for dog walks) and Creel Cafe (good coffee & scones!). The yard was fully fenced and our dog loved it. The kids had fun in the hot tub and enjoyed walking to the river & playground. Beds were comfy and the house in general was presentable and had all the facilities we needed. ##### Dan V. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie T. Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent whānau accommodation Perfect sized whare for a whānau of 8 (4 adults and 4 children plus our fur baby). Hot tub was a definite hit and a nice way to unwind after the snow. The indoor fire kept the top level toasty, oil heaters also provided in each room as well. Our fur baby was kept safe with fenced outdoor spaces. Close to the shops and cafes of Tūrangi. The spiral staircase was also a hit with the older mokos. Clean, comfy and private. ##### Marie T.
