The surrounding regions of Taupo are nearby and offer something special in their own unique way. Just down the road is the beautiful Turangi which has a small population catered for by a number of shops and services. Further south is Ohakune which is fast becoming a popular tourist and relocation detination in its own right. All these places are within minutes of each other and the surrounding farmland, lakes, rivers and bush.
Ohakune is the gateway to the Tongariro National Park World Heritage Site and Mt Ruapehu's ski fields. It is also known as the Carrot Capital of New Zealand with rich, volcanic soil ideal for growning carrots - there is also a giant carrot statue in the town centre.
Whakapapa and Turoa are the two main ski fields that professional and amateur skiers and snowboarders flock to each year, they also enjoy Ohakune’s varied entertainment, night life, restaurants and cafes.
Located at the Southern end of Lake Taupo there’s far more to Turangi than just fishing. White water rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, bushwalking, indoor and outdoor climbing, culturally guided walks and golf are some of the many choices you have in this diverse destination.
