Welcome to Creel Lodge, Turangi

Situated in the heart of New Zealand's Best Trout Fishing Country is Creel Lodge.

You are invited to explore Creel's unique location, beautiful garden setting, all provided to make your stay very special, and at affordable prices.

Creel Lodge is situated on the famous Tongariro River, with its own private access to one of New Zealand's top fly-fishing rivers. The Tongariro River is open for fishing all year round, offering Steelhead (Rainbow) and Brown trout fishing 365 days a year. Creel Lodge is less than 5 minutes' walk from Turangi township, which nestles at the southern end of Lake Taupo, situated in the centre of New Zealand's North Island.

On arriving at Creel you will be shown to your garden suite; you have the choice of one or two bedrooms. All suites have their own outdoor balconies encouraging you to dine outside among the fantails (a New Zealand native bird) and enjoy the native bush setting.

Make Creel Lodge your holiday base as it is an ideal location. Every year people from all over the world come back to Creel Lodge to fish, hunt, ski or relax in the hot pools at Tokaanu, just 3km from the Lodge.
