This place is lovely - stayed there at Christmas.

Debretts is good to - they have cabins and tourist flats as well.

If you need help organising please PM me. Cheers

I'm with you there fellow old fella

Um how does one get to Turangi and/or where is it in relation to Taupo - I've been there but geography was NEVER my strongpoint.

Approx 15mins ride south of Taupo from what I can remember.........on the other side of Lake Taupo. Riding up from Wellington - it's at the end of the Desert Road.
