Tokaanu public hot pools just a short walk away, plus the Lodge has its own hot pools. Turangi a very short drive away with supermarket and plenty of restaurants. Conveniently placed to visit Tongariro National Park. The manager was very understanding when we cut short our stay due to poor weather and only charged us for the days we were there. The room was clean and well fitted out, if a little dated in style.

The advantage of this property is its convenient location on a road trip between Wellington and Auckland, plus the easy availability of the hot pools, right outside the motel units. the children loved the trampoline. Plenty of room in the family unit which sleeps 7.

Location was great, and the hot pools were lovely. Easy close walk to see the natural hot springs. The room was basic, but all we needed. Warm and lots of space. Beds were all a bit tired though, so didn't have the greatest sleep.

Great location for the Crossing
This was a great place to stay for the Tongariro Crossing. The shuttle picked us up at the hotel. The owner, Cheryl, is very nice and wants guests to be comfortable. The accommodations are a little rustic, but the room was clean and comfortable.
