The stay was even better than imagined. The owners were so accommodating. They helped us to get better WiFi and provided us snacks as well. The main lodge area was comfortable and quiet to work as well. Such nice people!

Convenient for our stay to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing- Maria was spectacular- friendly and a great host. The only thing was that the location is directly on the highway and you did hear the passing traffic at night but this is not a fault of the lodge - its a very convenient place with onsite shuttle pickup for the TAC.

We enjoyed our stay, appreciating the quiet location and pretty view. The self serve breakfast in the breakfast nook hit the spot. Our second floor room was airy and well appointed. Regretfully we only spent a single night. The lodge is conveniently located for visiting the national park.
