About this property

Tongariro River Cottage

Comfortable well equipped older style kiwi bach ready for trout fisher people and the like. Lovely views and with the world famous Tongariro River just across the road it is also the perfect spot for the many adventures in the central north island like tramping, mountain bike trails, river rafting, hunting and a half hour drive to snow skiing and/or the fabulous Tongariro crossing. Or, book a shuttle to the crossing who will pick up from the door or make the easy 10 minute walk to town centre where the shuttles leaves from. In town there is supermarkets, bar restaurants, cafes and a variety of other shops. N.B the bach is located above SH1 so there is road noise! If you have an electric vehicle and charge it from the bach there will be an extra cost to your stay so please advise, Ty.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The cottage was cute and convenient for both fishing and access to Turangi centre. Bed was comfortable and the cottage had all kinds of options for heating and cooling.

The house was adequate for a two night stay. However, there was constant noise from heavy trucks non stop and the access to the property was precarious. In general, the house is run down and in need of some upgrades.
