Summary: A last minute decision to travel north,and a need to accommodate the 2 elderly dogs travelling with us, led us to this wonderful holiday home. It's a fantastically appointed property with everything you could possibly need for a great stay. The hosts are brilliant, ready to help in any way they can and with heaps of local knowledge to point you in the right direction. From here it is easy to access the mountains and lakes of the region. There are plenty of potential walks, our group did 2 of them. Alternatively you can kick back and read from the collection on the bookshelf. Turangi has good choices for eat in and takeaway, we got takeaway burgers from Rust, which were fab. Alternatively the supermarket can be used to stock up for cooking your own using the well supplied kitchen. We'll definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Summary: All 5 of the baches/VRBOs we stayed in during our NZ trip were very nice, but this one was definitely the best. It was a lot bigger than we needed (2 good size bedrooms and bathrooms when we needed only one of each), hence more expensive than most of the other places, but still reasonably priced even for just the two of us. The kitchen was great, with lots of room and very well stocked with everything you need to cook whatever you want. The adjoining living room was also spacious and comfortable. And it was great talking with Jono, who is the director of the Hillary Outdoors Education Centre and knew Sir Edmund well! Our only disappointment was that the weather was too bad for us to do the Tongariro Crossing, but I guess that just means we will need to return to the Grumpy Trout Lodge--and stay longer next time!

Summary: We just had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Grumpy Trout Lodge. The property is immaculate as per all the other reviews, Ilva was excellent to deal with and we loved all the little extras. The road noise was intrusive on our first night, but once we'd relaxed we barely noticed it for the rest of the stay (my partner has hyperacousis so this is saying something!). An excellent location with so many activities on your doorstep, a very special part of the country!

Summary: As always, our stay was magnificent. This is our second time. The property really suits our family, itโ€™s spotless, extremely well equiped, in a lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle and we can take our dogs. The hosts are fabulous and we couldnโ€™t have asked for any more. Weโ€™ve already booked to return ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
