We stopped in here briefly to use the toilet on our way home from a trip to Auckland, had been on the road for hours. There was nobody at reception upon entering, but upon exiting the facilities we were abruptly informed by a woman that "That'll be a dollar thanks". I am sorry but I think that charging people to...

On the 8 th November 2012 we decided to go to The Bridge for a quite night to celebrate our 43rd Aniiversary. We were met by a lovely lady who showed us to our seat and then chatted to us about some of the history in the area, the atmoshpere was very warming and we had a choice of where... More

We didn't stay at this lodge but did have a dinner at the Bridge Restaurant during a recent visit to Turangi and thought it was ok, nothing particularly special but good enough food – probably a bit overpriced for what we were served. As there are not a ton of dining options in Turangi, if you want a nice atmosphere,... More

This was a stop over going from the Cooromandel to Wellington. We would really recommend the rib eye steak. The room was comfortable, but average facilities, and rather noisy from the traffic crossing over the bridge.

My most recent stay was I think my 4th stay at Bridge over 4 decades. Not a lot has changed in the decor and fittings. The Media Services (TV, Video, Internet) are still in the 80's. But a stay the Bridge had always centered itself around the Bar and Restaurant as the Hub area and the services there, which remains... More

My husband and I are staying at Bridge Fishing Lodge. The room is darling. There is a stocked kitchen and bathroom and the room has lovely decorations. The carpeting seemed brand new. We ate dinner at the restaurant. The stacked vegetarian dinner was delicious. My husband had the salmon which he thought was some of the best he has had.... More

Firstly, I'm not a complainer. It has taken months for me to write this review as I am torn about having to be negative. We booked this lodge as a base for a snowboarding holiday. We checked in on a Monday evening after a day on the mountain. The room seemed ok and the man who checked us in was... More

We spent just one night here but would happily stay more when we go through Turangi again. We were greeted with smiles (even though it was close to 11pm) and the owner walked us to our room and was very friendly. The room was fantastic, good size, comfy bed and most importantly had electric blankets and a nice heater which... More

We came across this place and only intended staying one night but ended up staying two. The food was absolutely fantastic and the rooms while a little dated were very comfortable and clean and very reasonably priced. The new owners are great, very friendly and hospitable and are refurbishing at present. The service was great. We were very pleasantly surprised... More
