Tongariro River Retreat

Looking for a cosy, friendly place to relax after your adventures?

Whether you’ve spent your day skiing, snowboarding, hiking, river rafting, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, or simply soaking in the serenity of a small town, Tongariro River Retreat is the perfect spot to unwind.

Stay warm by our fireplace on chilly winter nights or fire up the BBQ on long summer evenings. Located in the heart of Turangi, we’re surrounded by stunning mountains, just a stone’s throw from Lake Taupō, and right on the doorstep of the iconic Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

We offer backpacker-style accommodation, where groups or individuals have their own rooms and can share a welcoming communal space. It’s a place to connect with fellow travellers, exchange stories, and discover alternative travel tips. Lively conversations and shared experiences are all part of the charm!

As a family-run retreat, we’re dedicated to providing a cosy and welcoming environment for all. Open 24/7 – just give Ian a call at 027 431 3799 to arrange your stay.
