The accommodations, grounds, staff and service were world class. We have three young children ages 6,4,3 and without question the stay at Tongariro was our best family vacation and some of the best quality time we have had as a family. The staff catered to our every need and gave us plenty of age appropriate tips on things to do.... More

The fishing and guides were excellent as I had been lead to expect. The accomodation was very comfortable and the scenery stunning. The surprise was the quality of the food which includes the service and the wine list. We had a great time. More

Whilst passing through Turangi and staying elsewhere we decided to dine at the Lodge. Got the feeling that we were an inconvenience to the hostess from the time we arrived until we left.

My partner and I stayed here on a GrabOne deal and thought it'd be perfect for a long weekend before Christmas. When you drive down the driveway it really does feel like a country escape. You get to the reception area and we were met with a young girl who needs to work on her customer service. I don't appreciate... More

Lovely location. Lodge very clean and comfortable although the area set aside for tea making a bit cramped. Staff were lovely. Communication via email regarding our stay was excellent. All the staff we met couldn't have been more helpful. Food in the restaurant was scrumptious. We will definitely return. Must do the crossing again and hope for better weather! More
