Cosy, comfortable and thoughtful host. We came here to enjoy some peace and quiet without the hassle of meal preparation. This place was perfect for us and it’s within walking distance of a few dining places. It’s self-contained though, so the option of preparing our own meals was available.

Comfortable stay, exceptional service
The lodge was amazing - very comfortable room with access to laundry. Marina was also very helpful with suggestions for activities and hikes when our Tongariro Crossing was cancelled due to weather. We had a great time there and wish we could have stayed longer.

Ok motel.
2 bedrooms was nice. Beds were comfortable. Couch under tv was not convenient. Bathroom was clean and large, however, there was a back door to a shared courtyard that had clear glass in front of the bathroom door. The kitchen was very small, had everything, but a cooktop. Fridge did not freeze ice packs or keep things very cold.

The hotel manager was very helpful and kind. We had breakfast in the morning and he cooked it for us. It was quite delicious! This small hotel, although older is in the perfect location for hiking the mountain crossing.

I ended up staying here as a last minute switch after the Chateau closed. This lodge was wonderful, clean, comfortable, and welcoming! I would definitely stay again if I visited NZ again. The breakfast was delicious - especially the homemade bread! Also, the free laundry facilities were such a blessing!

Property was good for its location. Understandably there are limited dining options in such a sparsely populated area. Gas station was under renovations so we were unable to refill gas in town which was slightly inconvenient.
