    The room was clean, the beds were confortable. The kitchen had all that was needed to cook a nice meal. Service provided by hosts was excellent and the extra we paid for the breakfast was well worth it.

    Nothing but just to point out kitchen only has microwave and no hob ( as it says in details ) so if relying on cooking you need to take into account

    V close to get an early start on Alpine crossing. V helpful manager and relaxed feel. Free laundry . V well kept garden with great views. Couple of places to eat locally and limited garden bar.

    We were staying at the Horopito Suite which was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The only suggestion to consider is it’s harder mattresses for the beds as especially for the king size. I found myself flying over every time my partner would move!

    We had a wonderful stay at the Tongariro crossing lodge, even though the weather was a little rainy and moody. Having a pleasant environment with a lot of walks around and suggestions from the staff was really helpful. we can confirm as per everyone’s reviews that the breakfast is really nice as well.

    Note that breakfast is very good but costs extra.

    Very helpful friendly staff, the room was great- big and quiet with a comfy bed and beautiful ensuite. We shared a kitchen with one other room which was great. The setting is lovely, and the location was perfect for us. The hosts arranged a shuttle for the Tongariro crossing which was very well organised, and there is a free to use laundry. A great stay!

    Nothing, it's a lovely place.

    The lodge is a lovely place with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a wonderful breakfast and the possibility of getting a packed lunch (recommended if you go hiking for the day, as there is only one small food truck at the foot of Tongariro). The garden is beautiful and the hosts are super friendly and helpful; when we couldn't do the Tongariro crossing because of high winds, Louis gave us great recommendations for an alternative hike.
