Boasting a terrace and room service, Hare's Rest is attractively set in Taupo, 31 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park and 31 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley. This lodge has a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking. Alli and Glynn have done an amazing job in making this place into such a beautiful accommodation. There is so much detail into making the hares nest as comfortable as possible. As soon as our little one walked through the door he was so excited that a bear was reading a book in ‘his bed’. We ordered the platter, I can highly suggest doing so, everything was super yummy. Alli went all out making cookies, bread, jam, chutney and more we would definitely rate hares nest a 10/10. Thanks again for having us.

Set in Turangi in the Waikato region and Mount Ruapehu reachable within 48 km, The Quarters offers accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking.

Hiking, skiing and fishing are possible within the area, and the lodge offers ski storage space. We booked a small studio to do the tongariro alpine crossing from there. We were often told that it was very small but comfortable. The room looked very cozy, but we had no space to prepare our packs properly. Fortunately, after a quick phone call with Jo, she was able to reserve an apartment. It was amazing! Super equipped, very spacious and above all very comfortable. Many thanks to Jo, we were able to switch so easily. We really enjoyed our stay and can only recommend the quarters.
