Tongariro River Motel
Hva gjestene sier
Our stay for two nights was perfect. We all enjoyed the spacious room. Had everything you needed in the kitchen and other rooms. Basic but very pleasant. Was quite considering we were next to highway. Good location just down the road from township, easy to walk too. Had a great carport which we put the jetski in and still plenty areas to park the ute. Enjoyed it and will be back when we bring jetski up again to the lake! Staff are great too! My son loved their dog!

We’re regular visitors, breaking the journey from Wellington to Auckland. We love the relaxed vibe, especially when travelling with a dog. The proprietors are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location is great, easy to find off SH1 and an easy walk to the fabulous Tongariro River, making it a particular hit with fly-fishers. It’s an older motel, so not necessarily state-of-the-art when it comes to all the facilities, but it’s always clean and comfortable, has everything we need and is a very welcome break from the road.

The motel is situated close to Turangi and it is a short drive to the local shops including petrol/supermarket/great bakery. We found our room a little dated but that gave it a kind of charm. It was a comfortable break after a long tiring drive. Great for a short stay. I could imagine that if your were a fisherman that this motel would be well placed for your needs. Friendly helpful host. One real plus was that of all the motels that I have stayed in over many years, this is the only one that I can recall as providing a carport which makes a difference on a cold wet day.

We were a last-minute phone booking around 8.30pm, lovely owner went and put the heating on for us in the unit. We'd stayed here previously, and it was a great place to stop in at.

Lovely older style motel that has been well looked after.Facilities you might need were all there available.The motel is well laid out with colourful flowers in the garden areas.The lawn area is lovely to sit or for children to play on sunny days.Everything was clean and worked well in the motel.The beds were very comfortable.The motel is handy to Turangi shopping centre and there is a pizza cafe which has other meals on its menu just over the road.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Suggested a change of unit to help with security of my trailer and motorcycles which included a covered parking area and was an upgrade at no extra charge. Even the friendly dog came and said hello when we arrived. Great location close to town but not in the busy area of town.

Wonderful owners Pip & Ross whose property is made by hard work & a labor of love. We enjoyed thumbing thr the books & especially enjoyed “Tongariro Skulduggery” written by Ross. The place was like a cabin, may not have the modern amenities but had kitchen tools that were from another time. We cherished the time here & wished we had more to walk the surrounding area & play with their dog.

Lovely owner. The homely feel, lovely rooms and being a trout town all of the memorabilia of that sort. And our dog was able to come. Good access into the accommodation and bathroom, kitchen etc for those less abled. Easy to find and parking right by our door.

It was such a pleasure to stay in Ross and Pip's TRM. Like the feeling and coziness of retro setting. It is all about trout fishing but we are here to hike. Very lucky to have a trout giving to us so our family had a roast trout for the first time. It was just divine! Thank you so much Ross for your lovely place and hospitality. Definitely will book again when we next come to Turangi.
