🇳🇿 STAY 3 NIGHTS, PAY FOR 2 – LABOUR WEEKEND!

2026 has been a tough year for so many Kiwis. With the rising cost of living, fuel and everyday expenses, we know a little getaway isn't always affordable.

As a proudly Kiwi-owned, family-run business, we wanted to give something back to our fellow New Zealanders this Labour Weekend.

Peak weekend. Off-peak prices. PLUS a further 33% off!

This isn't something we'd normally offer over a busy long weekend, but after a tough year, we'd love to see more Kiwis getting out, enjoying themselves and spending quality time with friends and family without breaking the bank.

Whether it's fishing, exploring, visiting family or meeting up with mates from across the North Island, we've got you covered here in Tūrangi!

TWO WAYS TO BOOK:

🏡 Book direct on our website for our sharpest rates:
www.parklandsmotorlodge.co.nz

💳 Or book through Booking.com: The same special is available! While rates are a little higher, we understand the convenience of Afterpay, allowing you to spread the cost over time.

We know everyone's budget is different, and we don't want anyone missing out on a well-deserved break.

📅 Labour Weekend | 23–26 October
🛏️ Motel rooms & cabins only (excludes campsites)
✅ Discount automatically applied to eligible 3-night bookings.
Subject to availability.

We can't change the cost of living, but we can do our little bit to make a long weekend away more achievable. ❤️

***Please note: The 33% discount is how our “stay 3, pay for 2” offer is applied—it represents your third night free, rather than an additional discount.***

Following the Stella Business Awards on 11 September, where we were proud finalists in both the Smooth Accommodators and Stella Survivor categories, we've received some of the lovely comments submitted during the public voting process for the smooth Accommodators category 💓

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and share such kind words. Your support means more than you know!

We're also incredibly proud of our Tūrangi business community! For a small town within the wider Taupō region, achieving 9 category finalist placings and 2 category wins is a remarkable achievement and a wonderful reflection of the businesses and people who make our community what it is. 🏆

We're delighted to share a selection of the kind words received from those who voted for Parklands 💕💕

Some of the faces behind Parklands Motor Lodge & Riverside Bar & Restaurant ❤️

We managed to get a few of our team together for a photo — although we’re missing a few familiar faces!

It takes a whole team to keep everything ticking along, from looking after our motel guests and keeping the property looking its best, to the team behind Riverside serving up dinner each night.
Very lucky to have such a great bunch of people helping us do what we do 🥰

A few missing from the photo, but very much part of the team!

A little sneak peek... 👀

Our Single Cabins are getting a fresh new look ready for summer! ☀️

This is the first one completed, with another three single cabins still to go!

They're the perfect option for guests wanting a comfortable, affordable stay. You'll have your own private cabin while sharing the campground kitchen and bathroom facilities – a great balance between comfort and value.

They're also ideal if the rest of your group is camping but you'd prefer a comfy bed and your own space, while still staying close by✨
