Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet für viele Aktivtäten wie zum Beispiel der beeindruckende Tongariro Alpine Crossing Trail und der wunderschöne Lake Taupo und vieles mehr. DANKE an die Gastgeber. -

- Mario (10/5): - Es war alles bestens, von der Kommunikation, über die Ausstattung bis hin zur Sauberkeit. Wir können uns über nichts beschweren und empfehlen die Unterkunft zu 100% weiter. Nichts
- Melissa (10/5): Wonderful accomodation with thoughtful touches made our stay in Turangi a highlight of our trip! - We loved our stay at Pihanga Vista Cottage while we visited Tongariro National park! I wish we could have stayed in accomodations like this for our entire month-long visit to New Zealand. The cottage was so cute, a great location, clean and quiet, outfitted wonderfully, and the special touches of the hosts were so thoughtful. We arrived to some food supplies in the fridge which was such a nice touch and were appreciated! The bread, eggs, butter, and jelly allowed us to make a great breakfast without having to go shopping. What a gift! We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our time in Turangi so comfortable! We thought everything was great, I can't think of things to improve.

- Tim (10/5): Spacious comfortable house with everything you would want for a stay near Tongariro Park - Pihanga Vista cottage is a spacious comfortable house. The hosts provided many extras, which were very welcome. About half an hour drive from Tongariro Park.
Highly recommended if you have a car. Nothing
- Christiane (10/5): -
- Salome (10/5): - Wunderschönes Cottage, perfekt eingerichtet. Am Abend war es sehr kühl.
- Yannick K. (10/5): Pihanga Vista Cottage - Das Pihanga Vista Cottage liegt in einer ruhigen Sackgasse in Turangi. Parken kann man direkt an der Unterkunft und die Schlüssel bekommt man per Self Check-In. Die Kommunikation mit unserem Gastgeber war unkompliziert und freundlich. Die Ferienwohnung ist wirklich sehr groß und stilvoll eingerichtet. In der Küche findet man alles zum selber kochen und die komplette Unterkunft war sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne länger geblieben.
- Khiun (9/5): - Very comfortable cottage in residential area
- Tamara (10/5): Einfach nur traumhaft… - Die Lage und ein absoluter Traum🤩es ist alles top und einfach ei e Perle wo man abschalten kann. Genau das was wir suchten. Alles tiptop ausgestattet und wir haben sogar noch Milch, Butter, Konfitüre, Brot…erhalten. Vielen Dank hierfür… ——
- Daniel (10/5): - It is a little house funished with love where you quickly feel at home. The accommodation has everything you need for a longer or shorter trip through New Zealand and offers a large garden. It is a good starting point for a trip to Lake Taupo or the Tongariro National Park. Absolutely nothing.
- David (10/5): Cute wee house - Lovely house. Clean and great facilities and deck. Provided little things like chocolate, milk, bread, jam etc. Couldn't find anywhere in Taupo. Not their fault!
Still only 50mins away.
- Robert (10/5): Lovely property, well furnished and very comfortable, ideal for exploring Tongariro National Park - Recently modernised property in quiet residential area with lovely garden for sitting in. Well furnished and very comfortable. The owners left fresh milk, bread, butter, eggs, jam, marmalade, tea, coffee etc which was a nice touch. Short drive (5 mins) to nearest supermarket for supplies. Excellent location for exploring Tongariro National Park. We spent 3 nights here and wished we could have stayed longer. Leaving!!

- Sabine (10/5): Super Haus, super Gastgeber! - Ein sehr schönes, renoviertes Cottage, geschmackvoll und gleichzeitig funktional eingerichtet. Darüber hinaus haben die Vermieter auch noch Lebensmittel im Kühlschrank deponiert, die für all unsere Frühstücke reichten (Milch, Joghurt, Toast, Butter, Marmelade, Eier), auch Obst stand bereit. Ganz super! Die Betten waren super bequem. Das Cottage verfügt über einen Kamin, den wir allerdings nicht genutzt haben, weil wir von unseren Wanderungen immer zu müde waren. Hinter dem Haus ist ein kleiner Garten mit Wiese und Sitzgelegenheiten. Bei schönem Wetter wunderbar! Es hätte nicht besser sein können!

- Karyn (9/5): This place was a little gem, well renovated with excellent modern amenities. - The location was great, nice and quiet and easy to find. The house was perfect for the two of us, plenty of space and cosy with a great fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Nothing that I can think of.
- Jayd (9/5): Great property to chill and relax in all day sun or a cosy fireplace for nights (heat pump option). It’s a newly renovat - Nice, clean and newly renovated house. They also provided some breakfast items like bread, eggs spreads and milk which we were so appreciative, and there’s eco friendly products. Very minor, at the time of stay, there was no washing line but they do have a drying rack and all day sun.
- Anneke (10/5): Relax and enjoy - Das Haus ist ein kleines Juwel. Es ist geschmackvoll, gemütlich und hochwertig eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Liebevoll haben die Gastgeber an alles gedacht. So gibt es nicht nur Kaffee, Tee und Milch, sondern auch Eier, Brot, Butter, Marmelade,Süßigkeiten, Chips, Waschpulver... u.v.m
Man kann schön auf der Terrasse sitzen oder abends vor dem Ofen.
Der Ausgangspunkt für das Alpine Crossing ist bequem mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
Würde das Haus jedem wärmstens empfehlen.
- Laura (10/5): - Hassle free experience, great location for the Tongariro Crossing. Lovely clean and decorated home and we appreciated the treats!
- Alex (10/5): A lovely house that exceeded our expectations. - A beautifully presented property and perfect for our needs. The breakfast provisions were an unexpected bonus, but a lovely touch. Without hesitation, I would stay again next year, but sad to see that the property is on the market. Nothing!
