Turangi Leisure Lodge
We didnt arrive until 10pm but found the key and room as per instructions easily. The room did have a weird smell but about from that was fine and beds comfy. Only downside was lack of hot water. In the morning only 3 out of 5 had hot showers

Was typical camping ground cabin. It was great to be able to book it for one night because that was all I wanted. There were no inconsistencies with how it was advertised and what it was. The manager was very pleasant and helpful.
