Sightseeing

Great to relax after the crossing or skiing. There are private pools and large public pool. There is also a track behind the complex worth exploring.

The river is located just a short walking distance from the lodge where you'll find the swing bridge that will take you over to the other side of the river. Maps are available from the isite centre and these walking trails are a must do in Turangi.

My recommendation for travel to Tongariro Crossing is Backyard Tours. They are from the area and will pick you up from your accommodation and drop you back once your trek is complete. You'll have a great time time, and even a beer afterwards!

City/town information

Very old town but lots of character and the best fish and chips in NZ. They still hand cut their chips! Golden Kiwi Takeaways, Jeremy from Seven Sharp's fave. Taumarunui is about a 45 min drive through the National Park.

The army museum here is well worth a visit and enjoy the drive along the Desert Road. Not recommended in winter, and I recommend Pizza at Franco's. Real italian pizza!
