令人滿意的小獨棟，樓上兩個卧室，一個房間是大床，一個有兩個上下床，衞生環境沒得説，後面就是雪山。有空調很温暖。就是WiFi有點兒慢，還有衞生間在樓下，對腿腳不好的人有點兒困難。

We booked for one night and arrived as planned. We were gutted to find that we had booked for Feb 25th and not Jan 25th. The owner was absolutely outstanding and immediately started calling all the motels in the area to try and find us a room. She was so incredibly helpful! With it being a public holiday weekend, all were full. She was not daunted and spread the search wider, we eventually managed to book into a hotel in Okahune. We were disappointed with our mistake as we had been looking forward to stay here, the reviews are so good.

We booked here as we were doing the Tongariro Crossing and wanted to base ourselves somewhere quiet. Creel Lodge didn't disappoint. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The bedroom, bathroom and living room were large and spotlessly clean. The kitchenette was well equipped and the whole place was tranquil with a little seating area out the front. The motel is laid out so that you have plenty of privacy in front of your window. Highly recommend.

This fairly simple motel is exceptionally good value. The small suite with kitchen was very comfortable, clean and quiet. It made for an excellent night after a day hiking in Tongariro. And it has the benefit of a lovely little cafe next door for breakfast, with some very friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Always a favourite. Clean, well appointed, quiet, comfortable. And a peaceful river walk just outside the gate. Been coming for 50 years; The Creel never disappoints. A destination in itself, for us, even without the mountains and the lake.

We stayed here one night in February 2024 in a one-bedroom garden suite near the front of the motel complex with a free parking space nearby. The Lodge is situated on the famous Tongariro River and is less than 5 minutes' walk from Turangi township, which is located at the southern end of Lake Taupo, in the center of New Zealand's North Island. It has its own private access to the river, where you can fish for Steelhead (Rainbow) and Brown trout 365 days a year. After we got checked-in, we took a walk from the Lodge along the river to the Major Jones Swing Bridge. A nice place and would stay here again.
