The cottage is a lovely space facing a garden in the back yard. It is centrally located for everything you would want to do in Turangi. Lynn and Allan have put together a fantastic guidebook of local activities to help you. We left early for a hike in Tongariro and had a great day. But be warned, everywhere to eat in Turangi closes early, even the grocery store. Unless you want to end up eating Burger King, make sure you go out before 7:30pm.
