Perfect Location
Sportsmans Lodge is in the heart of New Zealand’s famous Central Plateau. Its mountains, lakes and rivers, walking and mountain bike tracks make this area an amazing outdoor playground. If you’re planning an extended stay in Turangi to soak up the outdoor action or simply be among some of New Zealand’s stunning scenery, then our motel, Sportsmans Lodge, is the ideal Turangi accommodation base for you.
It really is the hidden accommodation gem of the Lake Taupo District and Central Plateau with its unique and tranquil Kiwi-style character. It is an affordable, relaxed and convivial motel set in the most amazing gardens – the perfect place to stay while you are in Turangi.
