Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were friendly and nice - and we greatly appreciated the dry room that was available for use in October (we were also the only ones using it and there was sufficient room for my group of 6). There was also a common kitchen and dinning area, that had a kids area with toys for children to play. My children enjoyed their time with other kids there, and there seemed to be quite a few toys to go around. However, being a common kitchen, there was a strong smell of recent cooking and the condition will depend on the guests that use it. As for the individual room, it was on the smaller side for 6, and may be a bit uncomfortable with the glass doors opening into the living room that may be a set up as a bed. The heating was strong (if you like it warm, but it can also be switched off).

The lady on the front desk was lovely and helpful. The unit was a great set up for us with two small kids and even had a proper gas oven. We also really liked the communal area, with books and toys for the kids. The trampoline was great too! Thank you for having us, we would love to come back again!

I was extremely happy I booked this property for our family get away. When I entered the room it was nice and cozy. The staff at reception was so helpful and understanding. Overall I loved my stay will be staying here in future. The property is well looked after in terms of cleaning and every other facility. I definitely recommend this property to other travellers. One more thing parents with kids will love the little play area this place has for kids. my 6 year old was in the play area that’s with the guest lounge and it had a nice fireplace just too amazing for this colder mornings.

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.

Can improve on hardware, but fantastic staff.
Great to have them drop us off at the train station at the end of our atay. They were also kind enough to let us check out later as our train left at 3pm. Vicky is passionate about her job and is very caring and friendly. Efficient and no fuss. The onky draw back is the the apartment we stayed has 2 levels, and going to the bathroom at night means negotiating steps which is not user friendly for the aged and the young. The heater in the sitting room is also very noisy and the sofa-bed is broken. Due to the above in-room issues, my husband didn't rest well. Otherwise it will be a five star.

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.
