The Perch is a great property, just outside of Turangi towards Taupo. The space itself is bigger than the photos look & well equipped including laundry powder. It is located on a side road adjacent to the main highway, which does mean there can be some traffic noise for light sleepers to be aware of. Kara provides suggestions for local places to eat. We had a super lunch at Hare & Copper, and enjoyed the local adventure mini golf. There is a well stocked supermarket & other stores in Turangi for self-catering needs.
