Had to bring own bedding. Had to bring own kitchen ware - bowls, cutlery etc. Lucky to have a fry pan there.

Had bathroom, drying room, comfy bed, heater.

No WiFi, but you can get some Starlink pretty cheap. The queen suite was great but after shower, condensation found it hard to escape.

Friendly staff, super comfortable bed, everything you need, clean and cheap. Will stay again when I can.

The rooms are not sound proof at all due to little or no insulation so the noise level is to be expected as other occupants move around during the night or get up really early in preparation for the Tongariro Shuttle... but the warmth of the rooms made up for this small inconvenience.

Everything we needed, and if not provided, then this was clearly communicated beforehand (e.g. we chose basic rooms so were therefore required to bring our own sheets and blankets).... also it was clear that our accommodation included shared bathroom, shower, kitchen and laundry facilities. The heating in the rooms was absolutely essential and worked really, really well for the camp's position and proximity to the mountains. This stay was a timely test as it was the first dusting of new snow on the nearby mountains and we were cosy warm throughout the night without being overheated... well equipped in this way.

It was a good location for exploring the park. the facilities were very basic, likely intended for campers looking for a break.

Nothing.

If you are planning to do the Tongariro hikes, the location is just perfect. The staff is very friendly. The wifi was not free but not too expensive and it was even good enough to make some WhatsApp calls. Just make sure you don't watch too many videos and disable your cloud backups while there, otherwise you will end up consuming all of your prepaid data pretty fast.

You can't beat the location for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, while also having easy access to Taupo and Whakapapa if you have a car. Amazing stargazing just outside the camp if you have clear nights. The room was comfortable and clean - what you would expect from a holiday park setting - and the shared kitchen is functional if a bit small for the number of people staying.

Facility was clean, there were no issues with queues for bathroom or kitchen. Big plus for a comfortable mattress - after long hike it's good to have a good place to rest :) Kitchen has stoves, microwave, toasters, electric kettles, fridge and some basic pots and pans - (almost) everything you need on your camping breakfast/dinner.

Room was rather small.

Enjoyed the staff & location.

Although there's heater in the room, but still freezing at night. Difficult to sleep In addition, there's no utensils provided. Do bring your own utensils ya

The toilet and shower are clean. This location provide transport direct to and back from Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

No free wifi, and with Starlink available these days, the excuse of being in the middle of nowhere needs to be better, especially because the cellular coverage is only 1 bar of 3G. The rooms are small. No desk, no TV, no chairs, no kettle, and not enough power points. There's not much soundproofing between rooms and so you can hear conversations from other guests. To be fair, this is a holiday camp and not a motel, so things are one step down in terms of facilities. It is probably good for a holiday camp, although I've never stayed at one before so I can't be certain.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Easy to find and close to the nearest town. The Ensuite was basic but adequate and immaculately clean. The bed was reasonably comfortable.

Very close to the Ketetahi Carpark for the Tongariro Crossing. Mobile phone service with Spark only - none for Vodafone or 2 Degrees. Good to know for anyone considering future bookings :-) Also make sure to bring your cooking pots and utensils, and own bowls, cups, plates and cutlery as in the description - the kitchen ovens, fridges and microwaves are there to use but you must bring your own cooking and eating gear.
