Great Spot
It's the third time we've stayed at the Riverside House, it's a well maintained, basic two bedroom house right on the river. The best spot in Turangi as far as we are concerned.

Family Holiday
Prime location with fly fishing on your back doorstep. Very peaceful & tranquil setting with all the home comforts you need for a well deserved break or holiday. Any future planned holidays back in Turangi (our home town), your river side property will be our 1st choice. Thank you Regards Trevor & Ofa Smith

A home away from home
We loved our stay here. Simple, comfortable, everything we needed, it was a home away from home. The setting was beautiful, lush green view out the windows and from the lounge room you can watch people fly fish on the Tongariro River. It was great to be out of the Taupō bustle but still close enough to all the activities. This is definitely a place we would love to come back to.

Perfect Location
A large, clean, sunny 2 bedroom house that looks over a public reserve to one of the Tongariro Rivers most productive trout fishing pools. To have such easy access to the river was a real bonus, hopefully we can return soon.

Perfect Location
Our second stay, just as great as the first. Everything we needed in a home base from which to venture forth to frighten some fish. We hope to return soon.
