"The property had no kitchen facilities - 2 wine glasses, 2 glasses and 2 cups plus a kettle. No plates or cutlery. Very tired decor and the shower door didn’t shut properly. It was a clean room and comfortable bed."

"Good location, handy for nearby shops and restaurants. The property is clean and good value for money but is looking tired and in need of some TLC. We wanted to use the swimming pool but were told by staff that there were no sunbeds or chairs available. "

"The sheets and couch were stained. There were dead bugs in the bathroom. Overall, the property and room were dingy. I would not recommend staying here."

"Plenty of parking, lovely peaceful setting and friendly staff."

"More than comfortable. Will stay again."

"This was a great little place to stay for a few nights while working our way towards Auckland at the end of our holiday! Beautiful view, nice and casual breakfast, and our host was available and helpful. The venue was away from the highway, but close enough to get traffic noise, but that was not a big deal. We will be back! Thank you!"

"Laundry machine not working. Noisy with lorries passing."

"Clean and well equipped room with a microwave, kettle, toaster and hot plate, as well as cutlery and crockery. Tea and coffee and some milk pods provided. The grounds are really well kept and there is a nice kids’ play area. The pool is small and unheated and could do with a clean. The communal barbecues really need some maintenance, as the burners are rotted through and barely work. "

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"
