Escape to your perfect NZ holiday home. We were founded in the Coromandel in 2003 and remain a proud, locally run company that loves to share the Kiwi bach experience with New Zealanders and visitors alike. We were nominated at the 2020 and 2021 Westpac Business awards for excellence in marketing and customer service delivery. Let us help you find your happy place!

With dual ensuites, warm open-plan living, and a practical layout ideal for families or friends, it’s the perfect base for exploring the Central Plateau. Step onto a sunny outdoor area and savour a morning coffee or unwind after a day on the lake or mountain. The open-plan living space welcomes guests with a cosy, laid-back atmosphere, whether you’re settling in with a book, enjoying a movie, or sharing stories from the day. The dining area brings everyone together, while the galley-style kitchen makes preparing and serving meals a breeze. Comfort continues across two well-appointed bedrooms, each with its own ensuite for privacy and convenience. A heat pump provides year-round comfort, and a full range of practical touches—from laundry facilities to entertainment options—ensures an easy, enjoyable stay. From this handy Tūrangi location, guests can quickly reach the ski fields via SH47, soak in the Tokaanu Thermal Pools, or launch the boat from nearby Tokaanu or Kuratau ramps for a day on the water. With scenic walks, world-class trout fishing, and Taupō’s shops and eateries all within reach, Trailside Escape is perfectly placed for adventure, relaxation, and everything in between. Please note that there are other dwellings on note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Ready to fish? It's what Turangi is all about! Nestled on the banks of the Tongariro river, it is famous for rainbow trout as the unofficial trout fishing capital of New Zealand! But it isn't just the fish as it is ideally located to access the Tongariro Crossing, is on the doorstep of Lake Taupo and just a 40 minute journey to the ski fields. All of our Turangi holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
