Summary: This is a great place to stay, right in Turangi and a 15 minute walk to town and supermarket. The house has everything you need, including two bathrooms upstairs ( one ensuit), two seperate lounges downstairs, large dining table which was great for dinners (when it rained and could not use the outside table) and game playing. The pool table was a great bonus and kept the kids entertained as well as the pool and spa. The kitchen had everything you need, plus more. Ruby is a great host and answered any questions in had in a timely manner. Highly recommend this little gem.
