There are several entries for the I Site onthe web.
One says the Site is not open Mondays. One says it opens 8:30am on Mondays and another says it opens at 10am!

Really awful, rude service from Turangi i-SITE.
We obviously asked some 'dumb' questions. As a mother with three young children at an information centre, I did not know this was possible. So much eye rolling, sighing, and just blatant rudeness , I have never experienced anywhere before. For what reason I have no idea. RETIRE grumpy lady.

Very helpful and nice.
She talked a lot of all possibilities, including what we did not think of (ie we wanted to do a kayak tour, but very expensive, so she mentioned boat tours). But only two very helpful women, we had to wait for 30 minutes - they need more staff!!
