Taking advantage of Turangi's backpacker options is a great way to socialise before moving on and exploring the entire country on a budget. Backpacker accommodation is friendly, communal and reliable. They are places where, usually, young travellers congregate and often make friends with people of different nationalities. It's the most fun way to discover everything this country has to offer and meet like-minded travellers. New Zealand backpacker accommodation is considered to be of a consistently high quality. Most backpacker accommodation throughout the country offers a mixture of shared rooms (dormitories), as well as single, twin or double rooms for a higher (but still relatively cheap) cost. The facilities usually consist of a communal kitchen and bathroom, and a coin-operated laundry, although this does vary - many also have internet access, bars and TV lounges. Long-term rates are usually offered for those planning to stay awhile.

Turangi: Trout fishing is Turangi's obsession, and every pool has earned a name. There's the Duchess Pool, the Major Jones Pool, Honey Pot, Breakfast Pool and the Admiral Pool, just to name a few. If you are keen to catch dinner, find a trout guide or ask for fishing advice at Turangi's visitors' centre - make sure you get a fishing licence first. Turangi is an ideal base for excursions into the Tongariro National Park and is just 40 minutes from the Whakapapa ski area on Mount Ruapehu. There is a good variety of accommodation at Turangi; an anglers' resort, self-catering motels and cottages, bed & breakfasts, and holiday parks with motels, budget cabins and campervan/campsites.
