We stayed here due to Turangi’s close proximity to Whakapapa ski field. We went skiing during the day and it was all we needed for our two night stay. Exactly as described. We were out most of the time but when we were there, we found it pretty private as we didn’t end up encountering anyone from the main house, or the dog Magpie, in the end. The lockbox and instructions made it very easy to check in and out. It’s close to the river and we enjoyed a morning walk along the river to the Creel tacklehouse cafe which we highly recommend when in Turangi. The electric blankets, heat pump and excellent hot water pressure were very welcoming after long days skiing, thanks Bai for having us!
