"Classic traditional lodge, love the wooden structures and homey feel, felt welcome. Nice patio to watch the sunset!!"

"The staff are amazing. Especially to the owner. He helped us immensely. We had a car issue and he helped us and made us feel welcome. The owner went over and above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s not out of pity. You can tell he's just one of those people you rarely come across who are willing to help. Has a kind caring personality. Big shout-out to the owner. "

"Nice location and nice stay. We only had a one night trip in March which we had to do with skiing. Central location for visiting the park This place is set up for skiers. Actually the entire town is, and this maybe one of the nicer ones judging by walking around town. It was roomy for the 2 and could sleep at 6 comfortably. The deck was nice and the kitchen. On the flip side there was no bbq to be found as advertised and no heat for our chilly night. The wood stove could easily have been used if need be though. The total price was too much. Overall though, very nice place. "

"Very handy to the Tongariro crossing and National Park. Warm and cosy. Easy parking. Very well equipped kitchen. Only one change I would request and that is to have it detailed that it’s recommended to take your own sheets, towels and tea towels when booking. "

"This was a lovely place to stay with a special vibe. "

"Tracey and Thomas are so very lovely and welcoming and friendly. We loved their lodge - beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and it is very clean. What we loved the most was talking to them about the area and their family. We loved our stay!"

"Very good communication and clear instructions. My only suggestion would be to include dishwasher directions. It seemed to take far too long to wash a load and the buttons are unclear/faded so wasnt sure how to put on a short/eco load. "

"Good amenities. We liked the tidy comfy set up in the kitchen, lounge and dining area. Good kitchen facilities. Comfortable beds and nice bed linen and towels. "

"Easy to find as it was our 4th time visiting. "
