Tongariro Crossing Lodge

8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."

Pipers Lodge

Pipers Lodge

8/10 Good
"The place was busy due to the ski season and many seasonal workers stayed there, so night time could be quite noisy. There is also a kitchen on site offering simple buffet breakfast at a cheap price and other dining options for lunch/dinner. The staff members were very friendly and helpful; there were complimentary coffee and tea at the common area 24/7, a TV and a large lounge to chill at. The kitchen was quite packed but they have air fryers which could be very useful. The room we stayed in is central-heated. Close to National Park and Whakapapa, this place is good for a short stay."
