The Olive Rabbit, Boutique Bed & Breakfast, offers a number of packages to take the 'thinking and planning' out of your stay
Being the closest accommodation to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, and just 500 metres to the Tongariro River, the various packages include comfortable accommodation, a full breakfast, plus an activity to suit your stay, interest and ability. And, there is always an opportunity to purchase further add-ons to enhance your stay.
The Olive Rabbit is a personally hosted accommodation where your hosts, Mary and Tim, not only know the area but can also guide and book activities for you. With Turangi only 45 minutes from Taupo, Taumarunui and National Park, The Olive Rabbit Boutique Bed & Breakfast is a logical accommodation concept to base your stay for a few days. The packages are designed for couples, or for twos, and can also be enhanced as a romantic getaway if requested.
