Our hosts David & Sue were very friendly and helpful. We requested dinner for the evening which was a lovely home cooked meal. We had a great time that evening, enjoying their company. Breakfast was lovely. Must also mention Ash the dog who loves to walk with you.

I recently stayed at Howards Lodge and had an exceptional experience. The lodge is well-maintained, offering comfortable and clean accommodations that made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. I highly recommend Howards Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We came during the low season in June, and we really enjoyed our stay. The Lodge is well situated to hike in Tongariro National Park. We also really enjoyed the fact that the kitchen was well equipped! We wouldn’t hesitate going back!

The lodge is a lovely place with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a wonderful breakfast and the possibility of getting a packed lunch (recommended if you go hiking for the day, as there is only one small food truck at the foot of Tongariro). The garden is beautiful and the hosts are super friendly and helpful; when we couldn't do the Tongariro crossing because of high winds, Louis gave us great recommendations for an alternative hike.

We loved this place. The staff were so welcoming and thoughtful - an excellent B&B experience. Rooms were comfortable and lodge area was very comfortable. A delicious, home cooked breakfast was included. Finally, they place has a number of animals on premise and our hosts were very kind to let us pet some of the animals including, sheep, alpacas and a few Maine Coon cats!

Piper’s lodge was clean and comfortable. It’s right at the National Park, around 20mins drive to the ski resort and 10min drive to some great short hikes. Close to several restaurants. Overall very convenient. Staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful. Overall, highly recommended
