About the host

Hosted by susiod799

Host profile image
My husband's family have been coming to Turangi for 60 years and built the bach next door which we still have and use regularly. So we consider ourselves locals although we don't actually live in Turangi. Our children all love it here and are now bringing their own children to holiday in this wonderful part of the New Zealand.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because it is next door to our own bach, in an area we love and we wanted to retain the special environment we have here for us and others to enjoy as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

The old world charm of a family fishing bach which is right on the doorstep of the famous Tongariro river for keen trout fishing people and super handy to skiing, mountain hiking, walking and bike trails. Snow, sun, lakes and rivers on offer.Or just enjoy the peace of your surroundings, You can be spoilt for choice.
