They have a great location with lots of potential but there were several issues. The privacy lock on the door was busted, the TV didn't get any channels, there's no soap holder in the shower so that inconvenient. The walls are very thin so you hear everything from the surrounding rooms including the kid tapping at 4am. The bed smelled like urine. The vanity counter top was busted. The restaurant requires reservations for dinner which isn't a problem as they asked upon checkin however the food was severely lacking. I ordered the chicken schnitzel and it was burned, like black in places burned. Also, it had no seasoning and they didn't bother trimming the fat off the chicken. Finally the bartender didn't even know how to make a whiskey and coke, he brought my drink out full to the brim and then asked if I wanted ice. He brought out some ice but with the drink so full it made a mess.
I booked to 2 bedrooms apartment. It was great. Size is a bit small but sleep was good.
Vicky the manager is amazing. She is very friendly and helpful! Her service is impeccable. We stayed on Dec 25 and 26. She brought our breakfast to our apartment in time and we’ll prepared!
The place is near to The Tongariro National Park.
Overall a great stay!
We had a great stay! Front desk was friendly and helpful. The rooms and the place was clean. We arrived at the start of winter season, not too many guests so we had the place almost to ourselves. The amenities was great, they had a lot of DVDs for entertainment, and the common kitchen was clean and well maintained. We also ate at the cafe which was delicious. The location was walking distance to the groceries, the tourist information center and other eateries. Overall a great stay!
If you are looking for a very new and trendy place to stay,
This is not necessarily your first choice.
It is a very traditional building, but it is very well maintained!
The interior is very clean and comfortable, and the space is enough.
The reception was also very good.
If you have the opportunity, you will definitely choose again!
Facilities: This may be the largest hotel in the town of Tongariro Volcano, with ample parking 🅿️, a restaurant (the taste is good), and a bar.
Environment: There is a gas station in the town, with a small supermarket attached. The oil and commodity prices are relatively high. The town is not big, there are few people, and it is quiet. You can see the crater in the distance outside the hotel door and the restaurant.
Hygiene: The room is a loft, the area is not large, the bathroom is small, and there is no kitchenware in the room for cooking.
All in all, for the magnificent volcano hiking, there seems to be not much choice except staying here, but it is also a two-night stay, it will not be too difficult, it is good

The location is easy to find, I accidentally found that the store is Chinese, the manager is very good, knows that we need to cook, help us upgrade for free, a big motel, the facilities for children are complete, but the shower equipment is a little old, overall it is good
The accommodation was surprisingly good for the price and location. The receptionist was very accommodating and waited for me until I arrived before she called it a day. I liked the common bathroom outside the main house as it was really warm and spacious.
The location is excellent, you can see the Tongari Lilu Snow Mountain, the surrounding environment is good, there are trails at the entrance, not far from the town center supermarket, driving is very convenient. The room is clean and has a kitchen and a spa.
Very Good

Mmakia11Very clean and spacious room with possibility to cook. Bathroom had a bathtube. 😍 Flexible and helpful owners. And the best coffee nearby. What else do you need? We extended one more night 😁
总总爱自己折腾The location is excellent, you can see the Tongari Lilu Snow Mountain, the surrounding environment is good, there are trails at the entrance, not far from the town center supermarket, driving is very convenient. The room is clean and has a kitchen and a spa.
DDominik Antoni KarolArrived well after check-in time but the room was warm and ready. Exactly what weary travellers needed. Nicely appointed, good wifi and comfy. Would definitely stay again!!
LlittleanaThe whole lodge is very warm and the surrounding scenery is great. The landlord will take the initiative to introduce the location and business hours of nearby gas stations, restaurants and other locations. We went to Tongariro the next day to hike, and the landlord also enthusiastically told us how to drive the next day and whether we need to book a shuttle bus. There is a mini golf in the town that is very interesting ~
