Clean, helpful staff and affordable. Highly recommended it and certainly if weâre around the area will use it again. And they got vending machine which I find it helpful everything you need can be purchase at very cheap price.
We enjoyed our overnight stay. The facilities were sufficient and the online check in worked for us. The wifi was a bit intermittent though unfortunately.
We stayed 2 nights in the âdeluxeâ double room No 4 directly behind reception.
The self check-in process was very easy to use.
I suspect like everyone else we were there to do the Alpine Crossing. So in that context it suited us fine, only a few minutes drive to the pickup point. The room was en-suite, the shower was okay once it warmed up and it had a decent TV with a range of channels.
The kitchen was well equipped.
Overall very good value.
Nice and cheap stay. Noisy kids running up and down the hallway (but thats not the accommodations fault.) Easy drive to Whakapapa so good spot!
Noisy heater fan in bedroom when it was closed.
Great budget location for exploring and hiking the park. Kitchen gets busy and was missing spoons (common issue in shared kitchens- we had our own so it wasnât a problem, somewhat dated and mostly clean. Liked the easy self check-in as well. Not a rowdy or loud hostel- we stayed here with our kids in a family room and had a great sleep and stay.
I liked the family room because of the heating was excellent, However the backpackers needs staff as there were guest hogging amenties such as moive room and kitch area gets over crowded
Tongariro park was on fire and closed. I messaged the hotel on hotels.com to enquire about the situation as roads were closed and a big area was evacuated. No answer from them.
Not to far from the center. My family likes entertainment area specifically the movies room serect. The first night cold in the room but the staff fixed the issue next day.
You can get into their warm reception area without a key - no problem - but (as there is no receptionist there) keep their phone number handy in case you have a problem signing in.
