"Excellent facilities. Very nice staffs. Great location for starting hiking in the national park."

"I honestly really liked this place! It’s older, and you can tell it has a little wear and tear, but you can tell they do a good job keeping everything clean. There were plenty of blankets and pillows in the room if you wanted to add more to the bed, and the rooms were very spacious. I slept really well here and the water pressure was great in the shower. The staff was also super helpful when we brought up what hikes we had planned. They gave us lots of good tips!"

"We had a very comfortable 2 night stay in the Jerusalem Suite with easy access to the kitchen shared with one other suite. We used the kitchen to self cater (as National Park has limited dining options and my partner is vegetarian) and made use of the oven and gas hob. We had the use of a fridge and the kitchen had all the pots, pans, utensils, etc needed for producing meals. Our room had a good sized bed, plus a sofa and table and a couple of dining chairs. A small wardrobe, but only three hangers. The en suite bathroom was also spacious with a large shower cubicle. Easy parking on site. We used the complementary laundry facilities to catch up on some washing. Very nice hosts, who offer to assist with arrangements for the Tongariro Crossing if you need this. Breakfast is available at an additional charge - but we had planned to self cater."

"Lots of highway noise"

"Great stay. It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other attractions in the area"

"What a great destination - we loved the privacy and enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars. Great view of Lake Taupo, the city lights are on the other side of the lake, so we could easily see the Milky Way and other stars in the night sky.The property had a large kitchen, living room and bedroom. Everything was clean and well appointed. The property doesn’t have Wi-Fi but it did have excellent mobile service. We also enjoyed walking the grounds and met the neighbor, who is also the caretaker of the property and they were very nice.Great destination to rest and relax!"

"Nice lodge on the outskirts of the Tongariro National Park. Very welcoming owners. Nice continental style breakfast prepared just for us. "

"A couple of nights in this tiny wee Bach. Nostalgic memories going outside to the toilet, Adequate facilities for a short stay, close to the mountain. "

"All the staff we met were friendly and helpful - quickly resolving a booking confusion caused by the booking site …. Next time we would book direct as they were so helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent both nights. The location and setting are superb … great views, “middle of nowhere” but still access to all mod-cons. Brilliant stay!"
