A hostel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was ok, in line with the description and photos. They have large available kitchen for guests, and also room for chilling out.
20 minutes drive from parking where you can get bus at the start of Tongariro Alpine crossing hike.

The room was small and warmed up quickly, bed very comfortable, kitchen well stocked and showers hot. Would definitely stay here again!

As basic cabin accommodation goes it’s fine. The rooms were a little tired and we felt it was overpriced for what it was. It’s a convenient location for the Tongariro crossing, which is nice though. There is also good communal space for cooking.

A brilliant place to stay in the charming little town of Turangi. Very peaceful and calm, with plenty of facilities. Lovely and well-equipped kitchen with a large dining area and plenty of space to relax including a great TV room. Plenty of toilets and showers too. Rooms are nice and beds comfy. The place is very clean and all the staff are lovely. The owner is a great guy and really nice to chat to. This place is a haven and easily the best place I have stayed in New Zealand. Thank you to all!

Fantastic Experience! Firstly, a huge thank you to Ian for all your help! You are a great guy, and it was a pleasure to meet you. Your assistance with the Tongariro Track made a world of difference, and we had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people along the way. The lodge itself was a lot of fun, with plenty of games and a well-equipped kitchen that made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were comfortable and welcoming. We had an unforgettable experience and can't recommend this place enough!

Room was appropriate for the price, I would normally expect tea, coffee and milk but supplies were very low

I used ******* to book the advertised price. Sometime later I was contacted by Tongariro River Retreat to say that the advertised price was a mistake and was not available.
I cancelled by booking
