Turquoise Lodge, National Park 36 Carroll Street National Park

Turquoise Lodge started out in a factory in Mount Maunganui circa 1970. Beasley homes built hundreds of set model houses for the nZ government amount others clients. The original owner was the house was severed to site on a truck as a complete build.\ Whanau bought the home in and lived there while working at the local timber mill for xxxx years. Turquoise Lodge was created when we purchased the propety in 2005 .We immediatly did some works firstly to take out some walls around the living and kitchen areas as the spaces were tiny and isolated. We removed the wood stove from the kitchen knocked down the walls between kitchen and dinning room and lounge . A new kitchen was fitted reusing some parts of the original as we hopped to retain some of the building s originality. We have left the original floor exposed in this area as you can see the old wall lines still showing on the floor. 2009 we pushed out the old porch area and included the space in the dining area. We had to put some big beams to support the roof structure. In 2018 a Tornado clipped the back side of the lounge, driving a pice of timber through the roof . We repaired the roof and recarpeted this area as part of the repairs. 2023 We got finally got to reconfigure the bathroom and laundry areas and giving the back half of the house a spruce up. We love the time we spend at Turquoise Lodge and hope you enjoy the oppitunity this area offers all year round.
