The chalet was the perfect stay for us to explore Tongoriro National Park. The park turnoff was 15 minutes away. The National Park town has numerous dining options with a number of places that have incredible outdoor views. The turn is small and walkable and very safe and quiet! The chalet was well equipped with comfortable beds and also has great views of the surrounding areas and the volcanoes along with Mt Doom from Lord of the Rings! Our hosts were communicative and answered our questions promptly. Parking was right in front of the chalet. I would highly recommend a stay at the chalet!

OK I guess
Unfortunately the dirty linen remained on the beds and rubbish was left by the previous guests. The cleaner had to come by to put it right. Photos don’t really represent the rustic interior. Otherwise the place was OK.
