Nice simple accommodations, clean. Very nice staff. Main issue is that walls are very thin and not sound proof. Can even hear neighbour snoring at night, and TVs sound as if they're in the same room.

Great and close to amenities

Good and quiet surrounding, with a few cafes and bars around. There is a spa pool available to use, just book it at the reception. The check in and check out are easy. The location is good- easy access to Whakapapa Ski field and they also offer shuttle service to Tongariro with a fee. Overall, great stay.
