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.

Stayed for 2 nights on either side of hiking Tongariro North Circuit. The hotel is meticulously clean, grounds beautifully manicured, with even all the pots and cups aligned the same way. You walk right onto the past by the river. Rooms were quiet and wonderful. You're off the main road so traffic is minimal. Highly recommended!!!

Situated in Turangi, within 46 km of Mount Ruapehu and 46 km of Taranaki Falls, Tokaanu Lodge Motel features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The motel has family rooms.

Loved the 'fresh, hot water pool' and would've preferred the mineral pool. Hopefully the other three pools did have people in it rather than they closed the door rather than leave it open when finished. Lovely location close to my friend's house at Waihi Beach. Didn't get to encounter the rest of Tokaanu. Definitely needs to be another visit.

The place was spacious and very clean. The hot springs pools were additional plus (and a big one). The host was friendly and helpful, really great guy. Very good price/quality ratio

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The people of the motel were very friendly. There was a deck at the back that was really a very nice place to sit and relax after a long drive. The place is also very quiet.

    I honestly enjoyed this little motel. It was exceptionally clear! It was neat and had everything we needed. The hot pools were a bonus and we used them twice. The linen and towels were nice and white and clean. It was perfect for us. Thank you Rainbow Motel

    The room size and facilities were well suited for my family. Location was ideal for us and the motel is literally a 3min drive OR 7min walk to the hot pools up the road. Upon arrival we were greeted by the maintenance guy Roscoe - he was super pleasant to deal with always greeted us with a smile as did the owner she was lovely also.
