Situated within an angler’s paradise, Kaimanawa Lodge is a small boutique resort located within easy walking distance of the famous Tongariro River in the heart of the North Island between the volcanic mountains and Lake Taupo. The stylish Lockwood designed units at Kaimanawa Lodge blend with the trees and surrounding landscape. They are well appointed, tastefully decorated and provide a superb level of accommodation. The 1 and 2 bedroom units have full kitchens, while the studio units have kitchenettes. All units have Sky TV and DVD players, with a selection of DVDs available from the office. The excellent members lounge (with roaring fire in the winter) at Kaimanawa Lodge provides an ideal venue to meet other guests and share the day’s fishing tales or the experiences of a myriad of other outdoor activities and attractions that the area has to offer. Complimenting the members lounge, Kaimanawa Lodge has a swimming pool (not heated), spa pools, recreation lounge with pool table and table-tennis, volleyball, and children’s outdoor play equipment. Guests are able to use the resort bikes to explore along the riverbank and in the forest. Turangi means different things for many people - the swish of skis on fresh fallen snow; the thrill of a fighting rainbow trout; the still beauty of mountain reflections in a lake; the challenge of white water rafting, rock and mountain climbing; the rhythm of horse trekking over bush trails; relaxing in a thermal pool; water skiing on a crystal clear lake, it is all these and much much more.
