I'd guess it's our 4th or 5th stay, our preferred base when venturing down to try our luck on the rivers. Basic but everything we need is included. We really enjoy the heavy flow shower and the pre diner drink spot overlooking the river...remembering always to bring camp chairs. Thanks again for letting us stay.
Clean, comfortable, rustic and relaxing! Really enjoyed our stay. On the river with great walk's, great location, easy access to town and greater attractions.
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.
A very enjoyable place to stay in a great location next to the river. The third year my mate and I have stayed, and we'll be back next year. Caught loads of fish, despite some not so great weather.
Had an maxing stay at this property. Warm, dry and very comfortable. Amazing location beside the river and close to walks and wildlife. Thoroughly recommended!
Very pleased with the facilities in the house. Has a lovely homely feel and couldnt be closer to the river. A lovely private setting. We also did well with the trout fishing so all round we had a great stay
The houseisi. Prime position and exactly as advertised. Owners are very accomodating and friendly. Couldnāt ask for more, have stayed many times and will continue to book
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 TaupÅ bustle but still close enough to all the activities. This is definitely a place we would love to come back to.
A pebbleās throw to the River is this clean family home. My son and I spent a great week fly fishing. Relaxing surroundings. Easy folk to deal with; weāll be back for sure!
Relaxing home away from home. Bach was clean and tidy and had everything (and more) that we needed. Games and bikes were greatly appreciated. Perfect base to explore surrounding areas. Would love to come back.
