Tongariro River Motel

Call Directions Website

Tongariro River Motel Tongariro River Motel accommodation targeting anglers fly fishing the Tongariro River.

Also a great base for the Tongariro Crossing and other hiking and biking trails. Just the greatest little value-for-money fishing motel in the world and I'm not even biased.
