We stayed at most of the motels in Turangi before becoming regulars at the Judges Pool. Units are large, very quiet and well appointed with comfortable beds, full kitchen, outdoor covered BBQ area including fish smoker. We mainly self cater stopping at the local New World (now open til 8pm) as the eating out options are pretty limited - although... More
