    Excellent place for hiking and trekking.

    Excellent place for hiking and trekking. Place is near by famous mountain area. If require, all the hiking gears can rent from near by shop. As an alternative to Alpine crossing, I recommend Taranaki falls, Lower Tama and Upper Tama lakes trekking.

    It’s a great place to visit if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Venture into the outdoors there are so many good walking tracks and of course in the winter when the snow comes skiing as well! Tongariro Crossing Taranaki Track

    It's a great base for exploring Tongariro National Park's hiking trails. Most trails are within a 10-minute drive. Keep in mind that the village only has two restaurants. Personally, I recommend the pub next to the mini golf for a good meal.

    Great views of the mountains. Not many eating options but it is a tiny town/village. Schnapps bar is cozy and decent pub food. Spiral restaurant buffet breakfast was a bit average, a la carte menu looked better but wasn’t available on Sunday

    Was convenient for us since we came to National Park to hike the Tongariro crossing- the car park was only 25 minutes away. I really appreciated the facilities- rooms were simple but had everything we needed including a blow dryer, shampoo, body wash. The beds were fine and the shower functional with great pressure and nice hot water. The shared kitchen area was clean and had everything we might need. We enjoyed our stay!

    There is a large kitchen, where guests can prepare their own meals. A pub and hotel restaurant are close by, but can be very crowded. Short driving distance to National Park. We had a room with private bathroom, which was nice. The normal rooms with shared facilities are quite small. There is also a large television room with comfortable seating.

    Perfect location before completing the Tongariro Circuit. Friendly welcome from owners. Despite a reduced dinner menu, the bolognaise and lamb shanks meals were delicious. It was New Year's Eve, but we had a quiet night, no noisy parties in the hotel. We felt sorry for the owners having to manage with staffing issues at a busy time.

    We booked here last minute as we had changed our plans for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing Hike. Due to double booking we were upgraded as it was our honeymoon. The rooms were basic but just what we needed for a night stay before the hike. Very compact.
