Welcome to the home of Refresh Cottage and Parson Bird Cottage, places where you can come, stay, take time out to relax, or use as a base to enjoy the activities of New Zealands volcanic plateau.

Sometimes we just need to have that break from everyday life and draw aside. Sometimes we need to take stock of where things are at in our lives by getting away from everything, and sometimes small groups want homely premises where they can retreat to. That’s where Refresh Cottage and Parson Bird Cottage come in.

Others need a break away from city life to go wild:- snow skiing, water skiing, boating, fishing, canoeing, white water rafting, rock climbing, snowboarding, tramping, hunting, biking and so on. The Cottages are a great base for all these activities. They are also ideal for families with kids of all ages.

Each Cottage is a cozy home away from home. Situated in Turangi township at the southern end of Lake Taupo, where you can come and enjoy the atmosphere of the “Trout fishing capital of the world”. There are lakeside beaches, thermal hotpools, rivers, mountains, native bush walks and many other relaxing activities to do if you want to. The shopping centre is only 1/2 a kilometer away.
