    The kitchen items in the unit were great. The room was large. The area was quiet. We ordered room service, and the food servings were large and the price was good. Parking was right in front of the unit which made luggage handling easy.

Welcome to the Northern Gateway of the Tongariro National Park. Turangi Tongariro is a great base camp for exploring the Tongariro National Park. Even if you only have a passing interest in hiking the 'Alpine Tongariro Crossing ' is one of the most rewarding days you can spend. Often voted the Best one-day Walk in New Zealand. Here at Parklands Motorlodge we are a friendly local lodge with a good honest restaurant and a friendly local house bar. Also available Troutfishing & Whitewater Rafting.
