Basic - had everything we needed.
The property was exactly what was listed. Appreciated being able to take our dogs. The only let down was how dirty it was, a dead mouse, bird feathers under our bed, blow fly sitting in a mug of fat on a window sill, dirty toasted sandwich press etc.. felt like the kitchen needed a really good clean. Also frustrating that you have to take your own rubbish home and the dump was closed the day we left. We did our best to leave it cleaner than we found it. Appreciated all the cleaning products stocked up - just a shame other guests don't use them. Good location, Schnapps Bar up the road was awesome!

The your lodge
Your accommodation is really a good place. We were very happy. The rooms were also good. The kitchen was also very clean. It had everything we needed. It would have been nice if there was electricity in the B B Q area, but we were happy as if we were at home in your lodge.

Whanau and Friends Easter break
Stayed here before, four families combining for an Easter packed weekend. The kitchen dining space held us all at a friendly squeeze and we were able to get 20 mouths well fed with the two cookers and fridges there. Great base to get out up the mountain and we also bashed out down the Fishers track which is 500m from the door.

Tongariro Crossing Weekend
This is a cool place to stay. Me and 23 friends spent the weekend here whilst we did the Tongariro Crossing. The location of the lodge was perfect and it did a great job of housing us all. The layout of the lodge is nice. Rooms are well sized and a the lounge has space to socialise, with a well sized kitchen on a mezzanine floor. Fireplace kept the lounge area warm and each room had a heater. On our last night, we walked down the road to the local bar / restaurant. Great communication from the host and instructions for everything were very clear.

As described, this is an Adventure Lodge. Not 5 star but nice and comfortable
We used the lodge as an overflow for our guests who were staying in our ski lodge next door so we didn't use the cooking facilities, just a place to sleep and showers etc. Upon opening up it was a bit musty smelling but probably because it hadn't been used for a while. The guests said it was warm and comfy. Opening instructions say the water shut of is indicated outside but it isn't so took a little bit to find that.
