“Great location for the Tongariro crossing. Great chilled rooms to hang out as a group! Good kitchen facilities. Stayed in an en-suite cabin which was great.”

“This is a non staffed accommodation. Though the check-in was digital, it was quite easy and straightforward. The facilities were very clean and new. The bedroom was comfortable, the bathroom clean, and the common areas organised.”
