Located in a back street this is great for those who like a quiet place to stay. You occasionally hear the Turangi fire station siren but it only went off during day hours while we were there. House was well equipped including some games and toys. Lots of cooking equipment and basic spices provided so easy to buy supplies and cook at home. A New World supermarket and a pub, cafes and take aways are only a short drive away. Not to mention the great river fly fishing and white water rafting. Only a 30-40 minute drive to Taupo.
