Accommodation has been renovated two bed unit, very clean, unfortunately though tea bags, coffee etc provided, the staff were in such a hurry to go out for the evening that they did not provide any milk! due to time local shop closed.

This little lodge was excellent. We came to this lodge to do the Tongariro Crossing. Although we came here with a deal (4 people for 2 nights including Tongariro transfers and packed lunches for $290), we had a look at the prices that they usually charge and it is still very reasonable. We got a two-bedroom fully furnished apartment with... More

The staircase leading to these rooms is carpeted, as are the room’s themselves, which were cozy, clean, and comfortable. Each room is equipped with queen-size... More

The bed was not very comfortable and my partner ended up sleeping in one of the bunks as we were rolling together and he couldn't sleep. We checked out a day early because of the weather and... More
