There's nothing quite like returning to the luxury of River Birches after a full day fly fishing or hiking the Tongariro Crossing.
River Birches offers boutique New Zealand lodge accommodation in Turangi, on the southern shores of Lake Taupo and just north of the Tongariro National Park. The lodge provides quiet seclusion and understated stylish accommodation close to the renowned Tongariro Crossing and only footsteps away from the world famous fly fishing on the Tongariro River. Set within a peaceful gardenscape beside the river, enjoy trout fishing by day, and the ambience of the lodge accommodation by night.
Immerse yourself in our tranquil garden setting with towering birch and beech trees offering leafy shade and privacy to our three cedar-clad luxury guest rooms. Each room shares an air of warmth, understated sophistication, and total comfort. Or choose the three bedroom Cottage, designed for families and smaller groups who value the privacy and spaciousness of a home together, with all the facilities to cater for their own needs for the duration of their stay.
This luxury retreat is set within a peaceful, established garden and was once won prestigious architectural competition, a testimony to its elegance.
