Got to visit Turangi recently and based on positive reviews decided to stay here for a night. A decision right made! Its located in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood, just couple of minutes away from the beautiful Tongariro river walk. I stayed in Unit-1 and was just a great stay there. Clean, cosy, warm and had all the amenities like basic... More

We stayed here after the place we were staying did not have another place for us and we were delighted that we did. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They greet you with your nation's flag hanging up outside the motel. They also had a bunch of fresh tomatoes from their garden that they shared with all the guests-delicious.... More

The owners are really friendly and helpful, the units are large and well equipped and very quiet at night. The town is big enough to be useful without being overwhelming and shops are within a walking distance.

We stayed here for one night in Feb 2013 before doing a 7 hour walk in Tongariro the following morning. I am sorry i did not stay the night after also. This is a super motel. Bright spacious rooms and all amenities. A lovely BBQ area outside with a fish smoker. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. This is... More

We were two couples travelling and stayed here for 3 nights. The units are very well looked after and the BBQ area is lovely and well set out. We stayed in Unit 8 as Unit 9 was being painted. my only complaint was that the beds do need replacing. They are not firm and very uncomfortable. OUr travelling companions found... More

Stayed for 1 night and was pleasantly surprised with how great the motel rooms are. Rooms have a decent sized kitchen/lounge and a large bedroom/bathroom. Front office offers dvds overnight for you to watch in your own room. Small complex which only makes this place more great; not overrun nor noisy. Staff were wonderful, even allowing us late last minute... More

Sort of old and a little musty, old furniture and such. Price was good, people were great. Maybe for the right people this might be fine (fishermen etc.). It is probably the best in Turangi given that Turangi is kind of a small out of the way joint. I guess I hoped for better but as we worked our way... More

Avid fishermen – we are regulars to Judges Pool. Spacious, clean and quiet – the motel units are well appointed, have recently been redecorated and now have 50 SKY channels to choose from. Nothing is a problem for hosts Chris & Jill. Very comfortable beds and great value for money. Features include: covered outdoor BBQ area ideal for groups or... More

I am a business traveller and have been staying in Turangi once a month for about 1 year now. I have stayed in most of the motels in Turangi and Judges Pool Motel with its amenities, cleanness, tariff, and being off the main highway across the road from the river, beats the other motels hands down. A big bonus was... More
