Just 5 minutes’ walk from Turangi town centre, Creel Lodge is a 4.5-star Qualmark rated motel offering self-contained suites with a private patio and BBQ facilities.

Lake Taupo and Tokaanu Thermal Pools are within 5 minutes’ drive from Creel Lodge. The Tongariro National Park’s ski fields and walking trails are 40 minutes’ drive away. Spent a further pleasant stay at the lodge. Went half day trout fishing with Jason Bethune of Creel and Tackle shop next door. From lodge Drove 3mins to Chinese take away food for dinner.

Situated in a peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful New Zealand native trees and a variety of native birds, Hush offers modern bungalows most with private balconies. Free WiFi and free parking are provided

Hush Boutique Accommodation is located in Coromandel Town opposite Driving Creek Railway and Pottery, only 5 minutes' from the town centre and a short drive to Wyuna Bay, Shelley Beach, Oamaru. The host was very helpful with providing recommendations for the area. In addition, the hideaway room was exceptional of value for money. The overall vibe was very peaceful and we loved feeling like we were on a little holiday immersed in nature. I would highly recommend this place to others.

Coromandel Seaview Motel is situated between the mountains and the sea of the Coromandel Peninsula. It is close to renowned saltwater fishing and a number of outdoor activities.

All of the spacious, refurbished rooms have a balcony and a private BBQ free parking on site. Kim and Gail were exceptional hosts. We used it as a base for the Coromandel area for 4 days. It was a bit of a drive each day however we were always so happy to come to this relaxed home at the end of a busy day. The place was spotless and well equipped with our own bbq. Book the spa sweet for exceptional views and your own jacuzzi. We had suite 3 and our view was beautiful and our deck so private. Gail and Kim brought breakfast to our deck each morning with a delicious pot of coffee. One of our favourite places in our month long stay in NZ
