About this property

Lovely Lockwood River Cottage

A cute cosy 2 bedroom Lockwood holiday home.
Only a short walk through Cherry Lane to the famous trout fishing Tongoririo River, with the town shops only a few minutes walk away.
Lake Taupo is minutes away by car with lovely picturesque bays and picnic spots. The ski feilds are 30 minutes drive away.
There are so many other activities to do eg white water rafting. tramping ,fishing,sking, and dinning out etc or just relaxing.
The cottage is surrounded by beautiful trees and on a still night you can hear the river. The cottage is very relaxing and comfortable, it has been insulated and a heat pump /aircon has recently been installed

Perfect break away
What a gorgeous spot. Just loved the location which was so central to everything we wanted to do and a beautiful place to retire back to after walking, mountaineering and hot pooling. Bruce was a very communicative host. Thank you.

Trout hatchery- Aquaponic build
We spent most of the trip in the trout hatchery, but it was great to get back to the cottage and chill, the heat pump was great for having a cool sleep without mozzies!

Great bach near the river
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely bach, it had everything we needed. It's a short walk to a beautiful riverside walk and cafe. And a short drive to Turangi shops and the trout centre where my daughter caught a trout. Bruce was a friendly and helpful host.
