My friend and I stayed at Kara’s place for a few nights at the end of a road trip around the North Island and we loved it. It’s a beautifully appointed apartment, very roomy and we felt at home straight away.
We did the nearby walk along the Tongariro river which was scenic and very relaxing. We also went white water rafting (both the rafting meeting point and the walk were just moments from the house).
All in all we found our stay in Turangi and at Kara’s place very relaxing and would highly recommend it.
