Our Lodge is designed for you to relax and unwind after your Tongariro Adventure, whatever the season!!

The Lodge has two double bedrooms + a third single bedroom, able to accommodate up to 5guests. Our Tongariro Adventures Lodge has a well designed open plan kitchen/dining/living space that opens onto a large covered deck, complete with overhead heating for extended summer entertaining.

Neighbourhood information

Tongariro Adventures is situated by the lake in the original Kuratau settlement on the peaceful, south western shores of Lake Taupo amid established trees and the sound of birdsong. Mid point between Wellington and Auckland, a pretty special part of the island to break your journey..... and so close to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. As well as conquering The Crossing, guests often choose to White Water Raft or Fish the mighty Tongariro River; play Golf; Swim; Kayak; Ski at Mount Ruapehu - Whakapapa (40 minutes by car) or Turoa; enjoy the many Bush Walks & Cycle Trails (which cater for all levels fitness and skills)... and much more! When organising guest adventures, Tongariro Adventures employ experienced, audited guides. Tokaanu Thermal Pools, a 10 minute drive, offer hot mineral springs long recognised by Ngati Tuwharetoa as having the "wai ora" (healing waters). Particularly enjoyed by our guests on their way home from The Crossing or Rafting!
