We loved this little apartment in Turangi! Very warm and comfortable with a beautiful peaceful location by the amazing Tongarriro River. The walking and cycling path is literally outside the gate, as is a park full of autumn colour and a children's playground. There is a cafe next door at the fishing lodge and the town centre is only 10mins walk away. So much to do around Turangi - the Tongarriro volcanos, hot springs, Lake Taupo, fishing and rafting. We would have been very happy to spend much more of our North Island holiday based at Ika Lodge. The main house was empty until our last morning when Sam and some of his children arrived for Easter. Sam was very helpful and friendly. Thanks so much for a great stay!
