The Perch was a great place to stay! It was the perfect location to stay while visiting to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The kitchen was great to have some meals in and the balcony got some lovely sun in the afternoon for sun bathing! It can get an little chilly inside depending on the weather. As of late November, the Turangi Bridge Motel, Bar & Restaurant is only serving to guests staying on property, but the Turangi Tavern was great. I also got takeaway from Hong Kong and it was good. Hydro Eatery had a nice breakfast before I skipped town. Would stay here again!
