Helpful staff and good restaurant on site. The room was clean, albeit super hot and there was no fan or air con. The kitchen is small considering the size of the site but had most things one would need.

Used Tongariro crossing shuttle really friendly driver and convenient pick up with parking at ski biz. Booking online was easy and if you are doing the crossing you need a shuttle as departing and arrival are two different locations.
