Located in Turangi, 48 km from Mount Ruapehu, and Taranaki Falls reachable within 48 km, Turangi Leisure Lodge offers a terrace, a spa and wellness centre and free WiFi.

The lodge offers a children's playground. This place was amazing, I'm so glad I found it. So comfortable, they had everything we asked for to use in the kitchen, very well stocked kitchen as well. Shower was great, bed was super comfortable. Loved the free spa and the activities room. Super friendly staff, this was truly a gem. Had such a comfortable stay here, especially for a rainy day. Parking is a bit tight sometimes but it's close to the room and it works! Highly recommend!
