Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Great and close to amenities

Good and quiet surrounding, with a few cafes and bars around. There is a spa pool available to use, just book it at the reception. The check in and check out are easy. The location is good- easy access to Whakapapa Ski field and they also offer shuttle service to Tongariro with a fee. Overall, great stay.

Walking distance or little drive to a whole range of restaurants and bars which was really convenient. We had the family room which was just the right size to fit a family of 4. To our surprise there was a pull put sofa bed which was so handy for our little ones.

The best staff

We were in the motel side. Room was very clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. We got information about area and they took us even back to the railway station after checking out. You hate to order breakfast here! It was so wonderful and tasty! National park is near, if you want explore there.
