Great spot to stay!
We stopped here on the way to Wellington which was such a good idea. Arrived reasonably late but our key was left in the box with clear instructions. Room was lovely, great kitchen options and comfy bed.
Was lovely being greeted by a Motel cat too. Will stay again!

Preparing for Tongariri
Very nice simple lodge. Facilities all worked and were fine. Plenty of restaurants nearby or you can prepare simple meals in the kitchen which is reasonably well equipped. Bed comfortable and clean

Vacation in Turangi
I thought I had booked a single room; turns out the accomdations included two upstairs bedrooms and another bathroom!
We also had access to the laundry room and after several days on the road, that was a lifesaver!
Convenient location for the Alpine Crossing and rafting as well as for dinner, and grocery shopping for breakfast and lunch.
Staff went overboard for us.
HIghly recommend.

Very noisy, especially at night, since it is a few meters from the highway. There's no view at all.

As this is my 5th stay at the Turangi Leisure Lodge, I have enjoyed every visit. The Comfort room is really spacious for a family of four. I love my bed — the pillow and mattress are so comfy. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay. I look forward to my next visit with my family.

Great stay at this Budget hotel
We loved our stay at Turangi Leisure Lodge. It’s close to Tongariro pass for the big walk, well situated for restaurants and the local New World supermarket, and has loads of activities for the kids (pool, hot tub, mini golf, dvd library). To top it all off, the staff and lovely and eager to help whenever they can. Top marks for this budget hotel!!

Neat tidy and AMAZING staff. Alot to offer entertainment wise. The room we had was a little bit lacking in privacy and was noisy between rooms but would still recommend staying here to anyone looking for a comfortable stay at a good price.
