Cozy house in neighborhood
We stayed for 2 nights before and after the Alpine crossing. Lovely home in quiet neighborhood. Plenty of living space. Slightly cluttered with no space in closets to hang clothes. Low pressure shower water and tub faucet leaky. No outlets in the bathroom. Updated kichen with plenty of space. Nice to have washer. Great local eateries all around.

Stay in Turangi
Property was clean and somewhat dated but had everything we needed. Problem with hot water was fixed promptly by the host. No central heating but space heaters were provided. Good response time from host for any of our questions. Property advertised a hot tub but we could not find it. Overall a good stay.

Cheerful decor .Comfortable house. We could have walked to a decent restaurant a few hundred metres away. Nice deck. Short drive to shops. A little highway noise but I still slept well.

Turangi Stopover
This was close to the main road yet still quiet. Everything we needed was available and the bed was very comfortable. We had been looking forward to relaxing outdoors but the weather was unseasonably cold. Fortunately there was a heater which quickly warmed the room. Would stay here again as it is so convenient.

Ticked the box for us
For the two of us it was just right. Lovely to sit out on the rear decking to eat “al fresco” in the evening. Quiet neighbourhood. Beautiful starscape at night, milky way etc. Only a 10 minute stroll to the supermarket and the Tuarangi white water rafting centre.

Home away from home
The property was clean, tidy and comfortable. The booking arrangements were easy to make with no stress. As mentioned the property is by the main highway, so there is truck noise throughout the night. But didn't notice it after the first night.

Cosy and well equipped
The Bach was cosy with everything we needed. Loved the wood burner. 40 mins drive to the mountain, less than 10 mins to the thermal pools. We found the neighbourhood was mostly quiet (some noise on one night of our stay) and the road noise (as was described in the listing) did not bother us.

Great get-away
Really great location of the property. Really close to most amenities. Nice and quaint home. Everyone really enjoyed the space. Would have been better with 2 more heaters. Really great fire place. Made the whole lounge warm. Oil heater in lounge is faulty. Plug end-copper wire exposed. And 2 single bedroom heater not worling at all.
