Great Spot

It's the third time we've stayed at the Riverside House, it's a well maintained, basic two bedroom house right on the river. The best spot in Turangi as far as we are concerned.

Lovely house with a lovely view on the riverside

Lovely house with a lovely view right on the riverside. Birdsong and sunbathing bunnies were our morning wake up. The mountains are an easy drive to get to and Taupo Centre also not too far. There were a couple of things I needed to connect about with the owner and had a reply in good time. They showed support. We would happily stay here again.

Great place to stay

A very enjoyable place to stay in a great location next to the river. The third year my mate and I have stayed, and we'll be back next year. Caught loads of fish, despite some not so great weather.
