Tongariro Lodge was established in 1982 by legendary angler and guide Tony Hayes and has earned an excellent reputation for gourmet dining, the finest accommodation, quality outdoor activities and the most experienced fly-fishing guides in New Zealand. 

This iconic Lodge is located on 22 acres of beautiful park-like grounds, on the banks of the legendary Tongariro River, on the southern shores of Lake Taupo and at the foot of New Zealand’s outdoor playground – the world heritage Tongariro National Park.

The heart of the  lodge has comfortable lounges,  open fires and trout fishing trophies of the past adorning the walls. The true atmosphere of the Lodge is best experienced in front of an open fire over a four course meal carefully prepared by our chefs and served in style by our friendly staff in one of our two pleasant dining rooms.

Guest accommodations consist of separate and private chalets and 2-5 bedroom villas situated within the beautiful lodge grounds, allowing for intimate encounters with the outdoors for every guest.

Tongariro Lodge in Turangi is not only the ideal venue for fishermen, but also offers a wide range of outdoor adventures and is the ideal lodge weekend getaway, wedding venue, or corporate retreat.
