Decent place in a location with limited option. Stayed there because of it proximity to Tangoriro National park
Third time staying here as it has been a convenient stopover on long drives to charge the EV. Unfortunately the hotel EV charger was out of action, I hope this will be reinstated

We stayed in a ground floor room.
Unfortunately we could hear everystep the people above us made, which made for a vert noisey stay. Other than that it was excellent. I would not stay again if we had to havd a ground floor room
Great stay. Just be aware that bathroom is small, which makes dressing after a shower near impossible. Friendly Reception and Bar staff, lovely meals in the Restaurant.
The location was quick and easy to access the gondola ride and to see the visitor center, which has quite a bit of information as well as Gollum‘s pool know as Tawhai waterfall
