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.
