Great Spot
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.

Great place to stay
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.

Mold Pit - the property stunk so badly. Had to open all the windows immediately. I'm an environmental consultant for my work and have met a lot of people who's health has been really messed up by mold. I was traveling with my father on this trip and he not very sensitive much of anything and he slept on the couch with the windows open because it stunk the least. Lots of stuff is very "surface" level clean. The smell of the pillows made me almost throw up. Smelled like old sweat and urine. You have to put your own bedding on the beds which was different - some of the sheets smelled clean some smelt horrible so not sure what was clean or not. Found mold in the washing machine... We came this this area to hike Tongariro and there was a stupid Rahui (a ban) put over the park the night before our hike for the rest of the time in New Zealand. We left a day early and booked another place it was such a horrible experience. Also the doors had marks on them which appears someone tried to break in before. Good riddance would never stay again and I high recommend you avoid. Emailed the owners and asked for a refund for one night but no response. No big deal though. If you value air quality and a clean place I'd recommend avoiding. Too bad this beautiful area was ruined by an unclean property.

Family Holiday
Prime location with fly fishing on your back doorstep. Very peaceful & tranquil setting with all the home comforts you need for a well deserved break or holiday. Any future planned holidays back in Turangi (our home town), your river side property will be our 1st choice. Thank you Regards Trevor & Ofa Smith
