Just 5 minutes’ walk from Turangi town centre, Creel Lodge is a 4.5-star Qualmark rated motel offering self-contained suites with a private patio and BBQ facilities.

Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. We didn't pay too much attention when booking this accommodation, as we just wanted a place to rest for a night after the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and before driving to Wellington. What a lovely surprise this place was! I absolutely loved staying here - spacious and clean rooms, a comfortable bed and a covered terrace in front of the apartment. Even though we didn't get to use the kitchen, it was supplied with pretty much all apliences one would need. Some details I appreciated and haven't seen before were the parking spots next to every apartment and the Netflix account the apartment had for guests. The gardens were pretty and well kept. However, I have to admit that what helped tremendously with my experience at the Creel Lodge hotel was the beautiful and incredibly friendly cat that decided to make us his friends and waited for us to wake up the next morning in front of our door.

Situated in a peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful New Zealand native trees and a variety of native birds, Hush offers modern bungalows most with private balconies. Free WiFi and free parking are provided

Hush Boutique Accommodation is located in Coromandel Town opposite Driving Creek Railway and Pottery, only 5 minutes' from the town centre and a short drive to Wyuna Bay, Shelley Beach, Oamaru. A very well cared for and comfortable place. It had a properly stocked kitchen that was a great hub for meeting people from all over the world. I appreciated the unique personality of Hughs vision. The quiet, the garden, and the location make Hush a special place.

Situated in a secluded tree-lined setting far from traffic noise, these chalets are ideal for discovering the Coromandel Peninsula's stunning coastline, beautiful beaches, bush walks and diverse arts and crafts. Beautiful room and apartment. Felt homey and unique but still very clean and private. Nice host. I wish we stayed here longer.

Coromandel Seaview Motel is situated between the mountains and the sea of the Coromandel Peninsula. It is close to renowned saltwater fishing and a number of outdoor activities.

All of the spacious, refurbished rooms have a balcony and a private BBQ free parking on site. Kim and Gail were exceptional hosts. We used it as a base for the Coromandel area for 4 days. It was a bit of a drive each day however we were always so happy to come to this relaxed home at the end of a busy day. The place was spotless and well equipped with our own bbq. Book the spa sweet for exceptional views and your own jacuzzi. We had suite 3 and our view was beautiful and our deck so private. Gail and Kim brought breakfast to our deck each morning with a delicious pot of coffee. One of our favourite places in our month long stay in NZ
