The bed was comfy, room was cozy, close to national park and restaurants. Hot tub area needs some attention. Chairs were worn and cushions moldy. No instructions on how to work hot tub. TV only has 13 channels. Otherwise perfect for 1 night.

The rooms were clean, a nice stay, but small and missed details. A jug was provided but we could not fill it from the one tap provided in the bathroom sink, either shower or filling by cup was available. The toilet seat does not feel sturdy for the 110kg plus sizes, and at only 6ft my feet were off the ends of the bed. The bathroom door had no lock, which might be ok for couples, but not so with teenage daughters. This was made obvious by the shower door handle hitting the door especially when opened fast. The warning sign for the step that was quite dangerous was not visible when the door was open, and was really not obvious. But all of those details were made up for by one of the best meals we ever had, every dish was well above average (only again could have done with a dob of butter for the veges). The staff were incredible and I would happily employ each and every one in any business I owned.

Staff were very pleasant. We were a little disappointed with the room - fridge, kettle, cups and one teaspoon provided but no detergent or cloths to clean them. The bathroom was compact, as was the bedroom (maybe remove the 2 large chairs and replace them with something that takes less room?).

This is a gem of a hotel in the National Park Village. We loved the location, Spiral Restaurant and the communal gathering areas in the restaurant and bar. Everything was super clean, staff were capable and friendly. The views of the mountains at sunset in front of the hotel are special.

Convenient location for Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The hotel can help with transfers. The place is rather outdated and a little scruffy (motel standard), but the beds are comfy and the staff very friendly. Breakfast and packed lunches are available, but quite unappetising.
