Fisherman’s retreat in Turangi

The best destination after a long road trip, walk in and relax with everything you’ll need to enjoy your stay. Short stroll to the river and you can be fishing for your dinner in no time. Hidden down a back section you will enjoy the peace and quiet of this awesome home.
The house has 3 bedrooms suitable for up to 5 people or 6 at a stretch.
Master bedroom has a king sized bed, second bedroom has a double and lastly there are two single beds in the 3rd bedroom. Turn the heat pump on to 18 degrees for your stay and it will keep the house at the perfect temperature. There is a fireplace in the lounge if you want to create a different atmosphere. Kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher and all the kitchenware you’ll need to cook your Sunday roast. Bathroom is brand new with heating and a walk in shower. Outside you can enjoy the large deck space and listen to the bird life while you fire up the bbq. There’s even a tree house for the kids to explore but keep the door closed or it will become a house for the local wildlife. Outdoor filleting station and smoker is available plus hooks to hang your wet waders. This is the best home in the area specifically set up for long weekends away. You’ll love your time in our little piece of paradise.

“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.”

Get Away Properly

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.
