Convenient for our stay to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing- Maria was spectacular- friendly and a great host.
The only thing was that the location is directly on the highway and you did hear the passing traffic at night but this is not a fault of the lodge - its a very convenient place with onsite shuttle pickup for the TAC.

Fabulous stay. We had deluxe room in the lodge with balcony. Room was spacious and clean. Bed comfortable. Breakfast provisions provided were very generous. Definitely recommend. A great base to explore national park.

We enjoyed our stay, appreciating the quiet location and pretty view. The self serve breakfast in the breakfast nook hit the spot. Our second floor room was airy and well appointed. Regretfully we only spent a single night. The lodge is conveniently located for visiting the national park.
