Welcome to the Turangi Tavern

In the heart of Turangi just a stones throw from State Highway One on the southern most tip of Lake Taupo you will find the Turangi Tavern bustling with locals and travellers.

Pull in off the main road for a hearty meal to fuel your travels or stay late into the evening and enjoy our warm hospitality whilst watching the game or catching up with mates.

An Honest to goodness Kiwi Pub

At The Turangi Tavern we pride ourselves on making sure everyone feels welcome and have a proud tradition of being a favourite watering hole for locals to watch the big game, take a punt on the horses in the TAB and gather with their family for an evening meal.

More than just Pub food

Turangi is central to a wide variety of activities from Trout Fishing and River Rafting through to world class Skiing and Snowboarding which means the Turangi Taven is a haven for weary travellers and adventurers looking to refuel their hungry bodies. With generous portion sizes and reasonable prices you won’t leave our table hungry. Tuck into a double beef burger or share our famous Venison Pizza with a friend soon.

A space for everyone

Feeling like shooting some pool or challenging a mate to some darts? Perhaps a bet in the TAB or a flutter on the pokies? How about refreshing beverage in the bar or relaxing on the deck outside? The Turangi Tavern has a space for you and you’re always welcome.
