Parklands Motor Lodge Restaurant And Bar

Welcome to the Parklands Motor Lodge Restaurant And Bar, one of Turangi's most popular places to dine. We offer a varied menu made with fresh produce to suit families, corporate groups, couples and those needing a hearty meal after a day out exploring our region. 

In addition to the good "honest food" offered in our menu, guests who are lucky enough to catch a local trout in one of our stunning rivers or in Lake Taupo, can have this culinary treat cooked for them on request. 

Room service breakfasts are available daily, with restaurant breakfasts and lunches for groups and conferences easily arranged.

Turangi has several restaurants within walking distance of Parkland’s Motor Lodge, but the most reasonably priced, convenient, and popular among locals is our own Parklands eatery. Dinner is available from 6.15pm nightly, except Sundays, to guests and the general public. 

Our evening menu features:

• Local Scotch fillets
• Thick Cut Pork Chop
• Lamb Cutlets
• Pub style fried Chicken 
• Seafood Basket
• Creamy Pesto Pasta (can add Prawns or Chicken)
• Vegetarian omelettes
• Salads
• Fresh vegetables
• Potatoes du jour
• Sumptuous Desserts
• Kids Menu

Parklands Bar

Cosy and inviting, the Parklands Motor Lodge Bar is a local favorite. Warmed in winter by a charming antique wood burner, it is the perfect spot to relax after a busy day on the mountain, lake or after exploring local activities.
