Heather

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was well located for the Tongariro Crossing shuttles, and good information was provided about local facilities. It was a shame that my own stay wasn’t a positive one - I spent one morning chasing a mouse around the room and was told there wasn’t anything they could do. Any aerosols used set off an alarm that woke everyone up at 6am. I feel like I massively overpaid for what felt more like a hostel experience.

We booked a room in the lodge, and we rather disappointed in the room. The listing and the description did not match the room. The Expedia listing stated room was double with single (although the bed was listed as queen, it was not). The "single" was a bunk bed, and it made the room extremely cramped - and hard to move around. The listing should be more accurate, and clearly state that the rooms in the lodge share a bathroom at the end of the hall. The room was clean and well kept, but very cramped. Another room we saw in the lodge had only one bed and that configuration would be much better than the one we booked.

This is a hikers/skiers place — very basic but great location and reasonable price. We had a 2-bedroom unit— queen in one, two singles in other. Small living space included a good little kitchen. Right in the heart of the village so good access to everything. Beds were pretty soft, but passable. We’d stay there again given the great access. Pretty clean and pretty quiet.

Beautiful! I stayed in a king pod, it was fantastic. It was spacious, clean, had a fridge, microwave and kettle. The lady at check in was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

We choose this property as it was convenient when attempting the Tongariro crossing. We choose the shared facilities so much like a youth hostel with lots of kitchen equipment and shared bathroom. Really good to speak to other guests who had their own stories about their travels. Would stay here again as lots of other hikes around the area. The crossing was ama img as we luckily had a perfect sunny day.
