8/10 Good
"Awesome comfortable bed, kitchen area too small have to juggle things around quite a bit to get breakfast sorted. Restaurant really good as was food lots interesting stuff to see in there . Shower really good , bit of a tidy up and bit of paint would make it even better"

Tongariro Crossing Lodge

Tongariro Crossing Lodge

8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."
