Tongariro
Lodge is known among trout anglers around the world as the next best
thing to heaven with guided fishing for brown and rainbow trout covering
30 rivers and streams and 5 lakes during a full season. Established
in 1982, the lodge has expert fishing guides who it believes are essential
to ensure visiting anglers enjoy the best fishing. It operates its own
power boats and inflatable rafts on waterways where boat fishing is
allowed, and offers a helicopter option for anglers who want to try
the most remote streams. Depending on the water and the season, everything
from dry fly fishing to light tackle trolling is available.
Part
of the Taupo system near Turangi at the southern end of Lake Taupo,
the beautiful Tongariro River is at the lodge's front door. The main
lodge building, all wood paneling and fishing memorabilia, houses the
bar, guest lounge and dining room complete with open fires in cooler
months. Its 25 riverside chalets are set away from the main lodge and
have their own terrace with superb views over the river to the mountains
beyond. Tongariro Lodge has an all weather tennis court and a secluded
spa pool. Its expert staff can arrange outside activities from golf
to guided hunting. The lodge is at the foothills of Tongariro National
Park and its major ski slopes.
 The
lodge has a big reputation for gourmet dining and its rates include
a 4 course dinner and cooked breakfast daily. It features traditional
New Zealand cuisine and game. Meals are served in its cosy and convivial
dining room. The staff specialises in picnic hampers for lunch, which
is also available in the lodge. Guided fly and boat fishing includes
all tackle and lunch.
Tongariro Lodge
is a luxury experience despite its 4 star rating. It offers a very high
standard of personal, old-fashioned service and very comfortable rooms.
The lodge accommodates a maximum 50 guests in its 1, 2 and 3 bedroom
chalets.
