Super comfy bed and bedding. Fantastic bread and heaps of brekky supplies. Great hot shower. Absolutely everything you could want in the room. Lyn and Allen were lovely, even launching a 'search party' when we were late arriving home - Allen found us safe, at the Tavern :)
Hot tub is a very attractive bonus we made good use of.

Turangi has many interesting outdoor activities, and it is in the central North Island with mountains, rivers, Lake Taupo nearby, but we were just passing through and for us it was a place to break the long journey, rather than a destination in itself.

It's a great stopover location say between Auckland and Wellington but it's hard to find good food and the prices e.g. food and petrol reflect a lack of true competition and a feeling "well, you've got little choice"

A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo.
A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo. We stayed two nights and used it as our base for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, so it was perfect for that. Oreti Resort is about 14km from Turangi, so you definitely need a car for eating out etc.

We found plenty to do in our 3 day stay. We popped up to Taupo and went to Orakei korako. Then to beautiful lake Rotopounamu and walked around that. And did the picturesque river walk. We hired a rental car so we could look around easily. We could have easily filled in a whole week.

Central to some wonderful activities such as great rafting, the walk Tongariro crossing, Ruapehu. 'Up market' accommodation is very limited but if you can get into the Tongariro Lodge, it is excellent. Worth the extra cost. The locals are helpful and the town has a nice relaxed non-touristy feel; however avoid leaving your car parked overnight on a street. Shopping, apart from Groceries is limited.

Turangi is a lovely little town.
Turangi is a lovely little town. Not much going on in the actual town itself but has everything you need in terms of supermarkets etc. and easy access to the Tongariro Crossing and lots of other beautiful walks nearby. Recommend the Tongariro River Walk and Lake Rotopounamu walk too. Lovely swimming spots! I stayed for 4 nights in the end which was great. Recommend staying here! And also use Panda Shuttles to get to the Tongariro crossing or anywhere in the local area. Stay at Riverstone Lodge if you can!
The location was great with an amazing view of the lake and just what my wife and I needed on our honeymoon. It was great as a jumping off point to visit the surrounding areas like Lake Taupo itself and Tongariro National Park as we visited various Lord of the Rings filming locations surrounding and on the volcanoes. The room was clean and very spacious, with one of the largest bathrooms in our three week's staying all across New Zealand.
Turangi and TBM never disappoints. we had a great weekend out on the bikes during the day and sat down to dinner with front row seats to watch the Black Ferns. A new chef brought a fresh approach to the great dinner menu and breakfast will keep you going all day. The staff are always so welcoming and hard working. Charlie runs a great team and Val and Catherine greeted us like old friends.
Spacious and clean holiday home located about midway between Taupo and Mt Ruapehu/Tongariro. Has all the facilities you need including a great kitchen and cooking equipment. Heat pumps kept us very warm. Highly recommended for your winter ski trip or summer Tongariro hike. Hosts were very responsive and attentive as they turned on our heat pumps before our arrival.
The room size and facilities were well suited for my family. Location was ideal for us and the motel is literally a 3min drive OR 7min walk to the hot pools up the road. Upon arrival we were greeted by the maintenance guy Roscoe - he was super pleasant to deal with always greeted us with a smile as did the owner she was lovely also.
It's spacious studio with car park conveniently in front of the door. In addition, a sunny backyard to enjoy the afternoon. Generally quiet and clean. We left my son's toy in the bed and the Rhett managed to find it and post it back to Wellington. Very nice experience with Judges Pool Motel. Thank you very much.
Absolute value for money. Definitely a better option compared to other motels in the area. A VERY short walk to the shops. The accomodation had everything you would ever need for a short stay.
Sarah was the best host.
Definitely recommend this accomodation 👍
I loved the views from our apartment to lake Taupo, stunning!!
The apartment was large, tidy, quiet and had all the facilities you could need.
The restaurant and bar area was cosy and warm. The food was amazing.
Nice walk to the lake from the apartments.
We stayed two nights here during school holiday. The room is very clean and super comfy. I will rank it on the top B&B in Turangi with a very reasonable price. Luckily, we may be the first guest to use the new cedar hot tub. Highly recommended.
Lovely quiet location amidst garden full of greenery. The facilities and services went beyond what I would expect from motel style accommodation - it truly was a lodge. It is also a great central location for exploring Tongariro National Park.
Great views across Lake Taupo and in a secluded quiet location. There were good restaurants nearby (we especially liked Valentino's in Turangi) and wonderful walks all around (the walk around Lake Rotoaira is short but picturesque).
Breakfast wasn’t being served due to the Lodge being in the Red Zone. We thought that a continental breakfast should have been available in the room to save a trip into Turangi for breakfast.
Sarah was great. We really enjoyed our time at the Turangi Leisure Lodge. I would recommend this place to anyone. The spa was great the room was great and the staff fantastic.
the best accomodation in Turangi and one of the best motels in the country. The location and the grounds make this an excellent option for all visitors to Turangi.
