Great spot for a relaxing stay in Turangi
Our family group (4 adults, 3 kids & a dog) we comfortably catered for in this house. It is a great location near the river (great for dog walks) and Creel Cafe (good coffee & scones!). The yard was fully fenced and our dog loved it. The kids had fun in the hot tub and enjoyed walking to the river & playground. Beds were comfy and the house in general was presentable and had all the facilities we needed.
