Set in Turangi and only 46 km from Mount Ruapehu, The Barn in Turangi offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The 4-star holiday home has garden views and is 47 km from Taranaki Falls. Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. This was where we had a big family get together after not seeing people for a while (thanks Covid !) - we decided to met centrally and do some of the fun things Turangi has to offer. It is a lovely house in a handy location and there was lots of space, both inside and out. We cooked some lovely family meals in house and also ate out. An easy drive to the snow (not that there was much) and to the lake/river for walks. We would not hesitate to come back.

You can play table tennis, darts and tennis at this 4-star bed and breakfast, and the area is popular for skiing and cycling. Ski storage space can be found at the bed and breakfast, along with a shared lounge. Your Bircher muesli was very nutty, tasty and filling. I'm very sorry I totally forgot to pick up the two muffins from the table. The breakfast table location was wonderful. A lovely view for us both. The heat pump in the breakfast room/lounge was powerful and warmed the room quickly on what was a coolish morning. Easy to operate shower.
