Just 5 minutes’ walk from Turangi town centre, Creel Lodge is a 4.5-star Qualmark rated motel offering self-contained suites with a private patio and BBQ facilities.

Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. Spent a further pleasant stay at the lodge. Went half day trout fishing with Jason Bethune of Creel and Tackle shop next door. From lodge Drove 3mins to Chinese take away food for dinner.

Hush Boutique Accommodation is located in Coromandel Town opposite Driving Creek Railway and Pottery, only 5 minutes' from the town centre and a short drive to Wyuna Bay, Shelley Beach, Oamaru. Beautiful, quiet, private. Just what we needed, a get away from Auckland hustle and bustle. The shared kitchen facilities were immaculate and the rooms were cosy but spacious. Nice large bathroom and big shower. The beds were SO comfy and the linens were nice and soft. I cannot fault anything about my stay here.

Featuring quiet street views, Cathedral Cove Apartment offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 500 metres from Hahei Beach. Housed in a building dating from 2010, this apartment is 1.3 km from the Cathedral Cove. The apartment also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Well equipped and very spacious apartment in a quiet neighbourhood. There are large glass doors opening out on a patio with a table and chairs, where it was very nice and peaceful to sit. To walk to the nearby small shopping centre and supermarket only takes a couple of minutes, and you can also walk to the beach. We had a lovely dinner at The Pour House which we can recommend. Our very friendly hostess offered to drive us to the start of the Cathedral Cove walk as the parking lot was closed, which was much appreciated, as it is quite a steep walk! We only stayed one night, but can really recommend this for a longer stay, as it is so well appointed and more than enough space.
