"Large clean room, comfy beds with high quality linens. We got the deluxe room which was very spacious, bright and has a large balcony. Only downside is that it is right on a busy road, but at night the traffic dies down and we didn’t even notice it. "

"Great stay for a shuttle to Tongariro Alpine Trail! Dutchy was a wonderful shuttle driver for an early morning excursion, and you’ll get a bonus mini-tour from him on the way. :) s welcoming as coming home, peaceful and quiet location, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Places close early so plan accordingly! To fellow hikers, you can do it if I could. Happy trails!"
